ANALYSIS:
If you see Niagara on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. Ranked 217th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 19-14. They are also ranked by this site as the #7 team (out of 11) in the MAAC (average ranking 211.7).

If there is a strength for Niagara this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. While favoring a feverish pace (the 12th-fastest in D1), the team is rated 127th in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 104 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Niagara allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 8.56, which ranks #16 in the country. Niagara also does a pretty solid job of scoring points off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 8.4% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 56th nationally).

Unfortunately, Niagara is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 310th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 110 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Niagara allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked third from the bottom in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 88.26 vs. AO. Niagara also gives up far too many offensive rebounds and second chances to their opponents. The club has a rating of 18.31 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (eighth from the bottom nationally), and they let AO convert a healthy 9.1% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 334th) as well.
