ANALYSIS:
NJIT presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Ranked 278th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 11-20. Of the eight schools in the Atlantic Sun (average ranking 242.4), they're currently ranked as our #6 team in the conference.

NJIT is not one of the most productive teams on offense. Scoring fewer than 96 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are rated at #283 in offensive efficiency. NJIT needs improvement when it comes to draining the mid-range shot. The team is ranked 304th in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 33.3% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO.

NJIT doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #265 in the nation in defensive efficiency. NJIT has done a lackluster job this year when defending the mid-range shot. The squad is ranked 305th nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 39.7% of their attempts from those in-between spots on the floor. If NJIT does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success stopping opponents from earning second-chance opportunities via offensive boards. The team has a rating of 12.65 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 43rd-best in college hoops.

NJIT has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 310th in the country in positive momentum.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location.
Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
NJIT performs worse against squads that have trouble defending the mid-range shot. When facing teams that have a defensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 36.38%, NJIT is more efficient than normal 35% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 89% of the time.
When playing teams that allow more chances at the line, NJIT usually performs worse than average. NJIT is more efficient than normal 40% of the time when facing clubs that have a defensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO greater than 26.56. In all other contests, NJIT performs better than average 78% of the time.
