ANALYSIS:
If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, Alabama State likely fits the bill. Their record this season is 13-19, and the club is ranked 325th overall (out of 362) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #7 team (out of 12) in the SWAC (average ranking 315.0).

Offense comes as a real struggle to Alabama State this year. The team is rated eighth from the bottom in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 92 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Alabama State is downright awful shooting the basketball and can't hit from anywhere, shamefully ranking in the bottom-25 in each of the four major field goal shooting categories. They make just 28.4% of their three-pointers (ranking sixth from the bottom nationally), 30.7% of their mid-range attempts (last), 47.4% of their near-proximity chances (second from the bottom), and 35.3% of their total shots from the field (last) vs. AO. Alabama State also struggles to draw fouls and earn opportunities at the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 21.41 vs. AO, they are 336th in the overall rankings for that category. If Alabama State does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to successfully get off shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of 94.20 vs. AO, which ranks #2 in college basketball.

Even though the team ranks considerably higher in defensive efficiency, Alabama State isn't a powerhouse on that end of the floor either. Allowing roughly 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #216 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Alabama State commits too many fouls, which leads to plentiful free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 31.51 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #337 in the country in that category. If Alabama State does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their willingness to take risks in order to score fast points off of steals. The team has a solid rating of 15.51 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 23rd-best in college basketball.

When playing on the road, Alabama State has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 21st in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
