ANALYSIS:
Per this website's calculations, Albany is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. Carrying a record of 24-9, they are currently rated #124 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of nine) in the America East (average ranking 243.9).

Albany will likely call on their defense to win a majority of their games. The team is ranked 118th in defensive efficiency and allows fewer than 100 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Albany is a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 22.39 vs. AO, they are currently rated 18th in the country in that category. Albany has also done a very good job to prevent opponents from draining threes this year. They rank 38th in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 32.0% of their attempts from afar.

Albany plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 150th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 103 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Albany will routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is seventh in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. As far as converting those near-proximity shots goes, the team shoots 57.2% vs. AO, which falls somewhere in the middle of the pack of the rankings in that category. Albany also does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 33.71 vs. AO, they are ranked 17th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. In addition, the team is in the top-75 in free throw shooting, converting a solid 73.3% of their attempts. If Albany does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's ability (or lack thereof) to sink threes. The squad converts just 31.5% of their three-point attempts vs. AO, which ranks 49th-worst in the nation.
