ANALYSIS: Despite having a win percentage north of .500, PV A&M is definitely a below-average ball-club in college hoops this year. Ranked 286th overall (out of 357) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 16-5. Of the 10 schools in the SWAC (average ranking 326.5), they're currently ranked as our #2 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.209 (which ranks 345th nationally), PV A&M has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.
If there is a strength for PV A&M this year, it's probably on the defensive end of the court. The team is rated 150th in defensive efficiency, allowing fewer than 99 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. PV A&M has extremely pesky defenders that ceaselessly attempt to deny opponents ample opportunity to shoot. The club is ranked 19th in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 76.89 vs. AO. PV A&M will also look to secure a relatively healthy number of easy scoring opportunities off of steals. They're ranked 51st in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 13.44. (Predictably, this aggressive style of play tends to result in too many fouls -- the team has a defensive free throw attempt rate of 33.00, ranked #353 in the country -- so they need to be wary of opponents that can convert from the foul line.) If PV A&M does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's difficulties stopping opponents from obtaining second-chance opportunities via offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 15.68 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 25th-worst in college hoops.
The offense for PV A&M, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the defense is. The team is ranked 300th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 92 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. PV A&M does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 18.95 vs. AO, they are seventh from the bottom in the overall rankings for that category. PV A&M is also one of the least accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They are ranked 345th in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 28.9% of their attempts from long vs. AO. PV A&M lastly has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 64.1% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #336 overall in free throw percentage.
PV A&M has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 314th in the country in positive momentum.
