ANALYSIS:
They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Louisiana, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Carrying a record of 19-13, they are currently rated #156 overall (out of 353) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 12 schools in the Sun Belt (average ranking 171.9), they're currently ranked as our #6 team in the conference.

With a very up-tempo style of play (the 18th-fastest pace in D1), Louisiana will likely rely on their offense more than anything else to win games. The team is ranked 137th in offensive efficiency and scores more than 104 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Louisiana is one of the better teams in the country when it comes to converting scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 7.3% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 48th nationally). Louisiana also converts a fair amount of its free throws. Making 74.6% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 66th nationally in free throw percentage. If Louisiana does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's inability to drain mid-range jumpers. The squad makes just 32.0% of their mid-range field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks 36th-worst in the nation.

Louisiana doesn't perform as well defensively as they do offensively. The team is ranked 225th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 107 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Louisiana is one of the very worst teams in the game when it comes to preventing opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 8.5% of all second-chance opportunities (342nd nationally), and with a rating of 16.46, they're 325th in potential points surrendered off of the offensive boards as well.
