ANALYSIS:
If you see Louisiana on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. They have a record of 16-15 and are ranked 184th overall (out of 358) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #7 team (out of 12) in the Sun Belt (average ranking 204.8).

If there is a strength for Louisiana this year, it's probably on the defensive end of the court. The team is rated 164th in defensive efficiency, allowing fewer than 101 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Louisiana does a bang-up job preventing the opposition from draining jumpers in between the three-point line and the low post. They're ranked fifth in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 31.1% of their attempts from that distance.

Louisiana doesn't perform as well offensively as they do defensively. The team is ranked 218th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 98 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Louisiana tends to be very careless with the ball and allows far too many breakaway opportunities off of their own turnovers. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 13.91, which ranks 343rd in D1. Louisiana also needs improvement when it comes to draining the mid-range shot. The team is ranked 321st in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 34.4% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. If Louisiana does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's knack for obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 16.96 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 24th in all of college hoops.

On the road, Louisiana performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 29th in our away-from-home metric.
