ANALYSIS: Alcorn State is not one of the better teams in Division I this year. Haslametrics has them ranked 341st overall (out of 353) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 15-15. Of the 10 schools in the SWAC (average ranking 313.5), they're currently ranked as our #6 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.302 (which ranks 340th nationally), Alcorn State has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.
Defense is not exactly a strength for Alcorn State this year. The team is ranked 325th in defensive efficiency and allows more than 108 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Alcorn State allows opposing teams far too many easy chances from the floor, ranking in the bottom-50 in three of the four main defensive field goal shooting categories. AO will convert a healthy 36.8% of their three-pointers (330th in the nation), 64.8% of their near-proximity attempts (322nd), and 48.6% of their total shots from the field (343rd). Alcorn State also commits too many fouls, which leads to plentiful free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 29.60 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #308 in the country in that category.
Alcorn State doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 91 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #310 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Alcorn State will have a really tough time winning games when taking into consideration their shooting percentage near the basket. The team is ranked 341st in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 50.9% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. Moreover, they find themselves in the bottom-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting just 39.5% of their total attempts vs. AO. Alcorn State also does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 20.15 vs. AO, they are 336th in the overall rankings for that category.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
