ANALYSIS:
Niagara presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Carrying a record of 7-25, they are currently rated #293 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 11 schools in the MAAC (average ranking 215.2), they're currently ranked as our #10 team in the conference.

Niagara is not one of the most productive teams on offense. Scoring fewer than 92 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are rated at #324 in offensive efficiency. Niagara is one of the least accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They are ranked 340th in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 29.5% of their attempts from long vs. AO. Moreover, they find themselves in the bottom-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting just 39.9% of their total attempts vs. AO. If Niagara does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's knack for obtaining second-chance opportunities off of their frequent misses. The squad has a rating of 17.87 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 41st in all of college hoops.

Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, Niagara still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 106 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #239 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Niagara could do a better job to deny opponents chances to score off of the offensive glass. The club has a rating of 16.94 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (288th nationally).

Niagara is one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 35th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
