ANALYSIS: While not an atrocious team by any means, Cent. Michigan is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. Their record this season is 14-18, and the club is ranked 215th overall (out of 353) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. Of the 12 schools in the MAC (average ranking 168.3), they're currently ranked as our #11 team in the conference.
Defense is not exactly a strength for Cent. Michigan this year. The team is ranked 258th in defensive efficiency and allows more than 103 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Cent. Michigan 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. They are at their worst when defending outside the paint, allowing AO to convert 40.0% of their three-pointers (second from the bottom in the nation), 42.1% of their mid-range chances (326th), and 47.4% of their total shots from the field (326th). If Cent. Michigan 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 16.27 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks fifth-best in college basketball.
Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, Cent. Michigan still isn't one of the more capable offensive teams in college hoops. Scoring roughly 99 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #183 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Cent. Michigan fares worse than most teams when it comes to converting from locations close to the hoop. The team is ranked 294th in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 54.7% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. If Cent. Michigan does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to successfully hit from mid-range locations on the court. The team makes 42.3% of their in-between field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks 13th in the NCAA.
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.
