ANALYSIS:
If you see JMU on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. Haslametrics has them ranked 221st overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 10-23. They are also ranked by this site as the #8 team (out of 10) in the Colonial (average ranking 173.3).

JMU will likely call on their defense to win a majority of their games. The team is ranked 163rd in defensive efficiency and allows fewer than 102 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. JMU does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 11.62 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 15th in the country). If JMU does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's difficulties stopping opponents from converting from the inside. AO will convert 65.0% of their near-proximity field goal attempts, and the team ranks 45th-worst in that category as a result.

The offense for JMU, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the defense is. The team is ranked 282nd in offensive efficiency, scoring about 95 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. JMU is one of the more inferior teams in the college game when it comes to maximizing opportunities to score on offense. The team is nationally ranked 313th in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 78.36 vs. AO.

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