ANALYSIS:
Not one of the better ball-clubs in college basketball, Lafayette should be a fairly easy win for most capable opponents. Carrying a record of 9-21, they are currently rated #329 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the Patriot League (average ranking 216.7), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference.

Lafayette is not one of the most productive teams on offense. Scoring fewer than 93 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are rated at #320 in offensive efficiency. Lafayette does a terrible job to take advantage of scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 4.1% of all second-chance opportunities (seventh from the bottom nationally), and with a rating of 10.53, they're 330th in potential points scored off of the offensive boards as well. Lafayette also 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 13.76, which ranks 341st in D1. Lafayette lastly does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 21.92 vs. AO, they are 331st in the overall rankings for that category.

Lafayette doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 111 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #317 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Lafayette does an extremely poor job to deny the opposition behind the arc. They rank 331st nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 39.3% of their attempts from afar. Lafayette is also extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #331 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.78 vs. AO.

On the road, Lafayette performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 30th in our away-from-home metric.
