ANALYSIS:
Alcorn State is not one of the better teams in Division I this year. Haslametrics has them ranked 345th overall (out of 357) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 6-13. Of the 10 schools in the SWAC (average ranking 325.0), they're currently ranked as our #6 team in the conference.

Defense is the farthest thing from a strength for Alcorn State this year. The team ranks 340th in defensive efficiency, allowing more than 110 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Alcorn State 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 49.8% of their mid-range jumpers (last in the nation), 67.1% of their near-proximity chances (seventh from the bottom), and 49.6% of their total shots from the field (fifth from the bottom). Alcorn State also fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 35.05 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #356 in the country in that category. If Alcorn State does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their ability to limit the number of shot attempts by the opposition. The team has a defensive field goal attempt rate of 75.36 vs. AO, which ranks fifth-best in college basketball.

Alcorn State doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 89 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #329 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Alcorn State struggles to drain shots consistently from most spots on the floor, ranking in the bottom-50 in three of the four primary field goal shooting categories. They only convert 29.9% of their three-pointers (327th in the nation), 51.9% of their near-proximity attempts (339th), and 39.5% of their total shots from the field (328th) vs. AO. Alcorn State also tends to be very careless with the ball and allows far too many breakaway opportunities off of their own turnovers. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 14.57, which ranks 337th in D1.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
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.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
Alcorn State performs worse against squads that are more proficient at draining the mid-range shot. When facing teams that have an offensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 35.24%, Alcorn State is more efficient than normal 22% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 70% of the time.
When playing teams that aren't terribly skilled defensively, Alcorn State usually performs better than average. Alcorn State is more efficient than normal 75% of the time when facing clubs that have a defensive efficiency rating vs. AO greater than 103.18. In all other contests, Alcorn State performs better than average 27% of the time.
Alcorn State is typically better vs. teams that allow a greater number of field goal opportunities. Against foes that have a defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO greater than 79.59, Alcorn State performs above their norm 64% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 25% of the time.
