ANALYSIS:
Bowling Green is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. Their record this season is 22-12, and the club is ranked 101st overall (out of 353) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 12) in the MAC (average ranking 136.3).

Based on the data, Bowling Green will likely find more success on offense than on defense. Scoring about 106 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #106 slot in the rankings for offensive efficiency. Bowling Green is one of the more accurate teams in the college game when it comes to shooting the three. They're ranked 40th nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 37.4% of their attempts from there vs. AO. Bowling Green also does fairly solid work converting shots between the three-point stripe and the low post. The squad is ranked 52nd nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 39.1% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO. If Bowling Green does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's poor shooting at the line. The squad makes just 66.9% of their free throw attempts, which ranks 47th-worst in Division I.

Bowling Green plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 141st nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 102 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Bowling Green does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 10.58 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 11th in the country), and they allow AO to convert just 4.1% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 11th) as well. Bowling Green also makes a point to avoid fouls and prevent opponents from getting to the free throw line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 23.43 vs. AO, they are currently rated 62nd in the country in that category.
