ANALYSIS:
As one of the worst teams in NCAA basketball, Grambling should be a pushover for the average-to-good squads in Division I. Carrying a record of 2-27, they are currently rated #351 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the SWAC (average ranking 317.6), they're obviously ranked as the worst team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.330 (which ranks tenth from the bottom in the nation), Grambling has faced some of the easiest opponents in all of college basketball.

Offense comes as a real struggle to Grambling this year. The team is rated last in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 76 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Grambling is downright awful shooting the basketball and can't hit from anywhere, shamefully ranking in the bottom-25 in each of the four major field goal shooting categories. They make just 28.4% of their three-pointers (ranking sixth from the bottom nationally), 29.0% of their mid-range attempts (eighth from the bottom), 48.5% of their near-proximity chances (sixth from the bottom), and 35.2% of their total shots from the field (last) vs. AO. Grambling also happens to be one of the very worst in the game when it comes to maximizing the number of shot attempts they get off from the floor. The team is nationally ranked third from the bottom in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 75.56 vs. AO. Grambling lastly does a terrible job to take advantage of scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 3.7% of all second-chance opportunities (fourth from the bottom nationally), and with a rating of 11.62, they're 327th in potential points scored off of the offensive boards as well.

Sadly, Grambling is almost as horrific on the defensive end of the floor as they are on the offensive end of it. Allowing roughly 116 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #349 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Grambling allows the opposition far too many easy shots from the floor and ranks in the bottom-25 in three of our four major defensive field goal shooting categories. They are exceptionally deficient defending inside the three-point line, allowing AO to make good on 41.0% of their mid-range jumpers (340th in the nation), 67.7% of their near-proximity chances (third from the bottom), and 49.0% of their total shots from the field (eighth from the bottom). Grambling also gives up too many chances to easily score off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 8.4% of all second-chance opportunities (303rd nationally).
