ANALYSIS: Alabama A&M presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Haslametrics has them ranked 322nd overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 10-17. Of the 10 schools in the SWAC (average ranking 291.6), they're currently ranked as our #6 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.304 (which ranks 341st nationally), Alabama A&M has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.
Alabama A&M has a very sieve-like defense that gives up points way too easily. The team is ranked 334th in efficiency on that end of the court and gives up more than 112 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Alabama A&M gives up far too many offensive rebounds and second chances to their opponents. The club has a rating of 19.10 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (tenth from the bottom nationally), and they let AO convert a healthy 8.9% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 316th) as well. Alabama A&M also allows the opposition far too many easy shots from the floor and ranks in the bottom-25 in three of our four major defensive field goal shooting categories. They are exceptionally deficient defending inside the three-point line, allowing AO to make good on 41.2% of their mid-range jumpers (337th in the nation), 66.2% of their near-proximity chances (336th), and 48.3% of their total shots from the field (337th).
Alabama A&M doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 95 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #287 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Alabama A&M is one of the least accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They are ranked fourth from the bottom in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 28.3% 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. Alabama A&M also has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 61.8% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #346 overall in free throw percentage. If Alabama A&M 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 18.58 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 28th in all of college hoops.
