ANALYSIS:
If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, Cent. Arkansas likely fits the bill. Their record this season is 9-23, and the club is ranked 328th overall (out of 362) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the worst team (out of 12) in the Atlantic Sun (average ranking 253.2).

Cent. Arkansas will certainly not be one of the stingier defenses opponents will encounter. Allowing more than 113 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked down at #329 in defensive efficiency. Cent. Arkansas does an extremely poor job to deny the opposition behind the arc. They rank ninth from the bottom nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 38.5% of their attempts from afar. And to expose that weakness, AO will gladly launch the three all day and all night. Of AO's total field goals, a large chunk of them (41.2%) will be from long-distance.

Cent. Arkansas doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 97 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #308 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Cent. Arkansas is downright rotten when shooting the mid-range jumper. The team is ranked 347th in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 33.3% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. Exacerbating the situation, they find themselves in the bottom-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting only 40.5% of all their attempts from the floor vs. AO. Cent. Arkansas also has some difficulty protecting the ball efficiently when in possession, which leads to some quick and easy baskets for the opposition. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 14.10, which ranks 337th in D1.

On the road, Cent. Arkansas performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 39th in our away-from-home metric.
