ANALYSIS:
Niagara is not one of the better teams in Division I this year. Haslametrics has them ranked 302nd overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 8-22. Of the 11 schools in the MAAC (average ranking 203.4), they're currently ranked as our #9 team in the conference.

Offense is not the strong suit when it comes to Niagara. The team is ranked 301st in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 93 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Niagara will have a really tough time winning games when taking into consideration their shooting percentage near the basket. The team is ranked fifth from the bottom in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 48.5% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. Moreover, they find themselves in the bottom-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting just 39.5% of their total attempts vs. AO.

Niagara doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 106 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #279 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Niagara 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 9.0% of all second-chance opportunities (337th nationally). Niagara also allows opposing teams far too many easy chances from the floor, ranking in the bottom-50 in three of the four main defensive field goal shooting categories. They are at their worst when defending outside the paint, allowing AO to convert 37.9% of their three-pointers (321st in the nation), 39.4% of their mid-range chances (314th), and 47.2% of their total shots from the field (321st).
