ANALYSIS:
While not an atrocious team by any means, Sacred Heart is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. Carrying a record of 15-17, they are currently rated #263 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the NEC (average ranking 260.3), they're currently ranked as our #6 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.343 (which ranks 336th in the nation), Sacred Heart has faced some of the easiest opponents in all of college basketball.

Defense is not exactly a strength for Sacred Heart this year. The team is ranked 309th in defensive efficiency and allows more than 108 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Sacred Heart will allow opponents more chances to shoot than the norm. The team is ranked 300th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 85.06 vs. AO.

Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, Sacred Heart still isn't one of the more capable offensive teams in college hoops. Scoring roughly 98 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #216 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Sacred Heart has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 62.8% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #337 overall in free throw percentage.

Sacred Heart is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked ninth in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
