ANALYSIS: As one of the worst teams in NCAA basketball, Longwood should be a pushover for the average-to-good squads in Division I. Ranked fifth from the bottom overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 6-24. Of the 10 schools in the Big South (average ranking 252.1), they're currently ranked as our #9 team in the conference.
Longwood has one of the most inept defenses in the NCAA. Allowing about 117 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they're ranked way down at #347 in defensive efficiency. Longwood 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 at their worst when defending outside the paint, allowing AO to convert 41.4% of their three-pointers (last in the nation), 42.3% of their mid-range chances (eighth from the bottom), and 49.6% of their total shots from the field (tenth from the bottom). Longwood is also one of the very worst teams in the game when it comes to preventing opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 10.1% of all second-chance opportunities (fifth from the bottom nationally), and with a rating of 17.68, they're 338th in potential points surrendered off of the offensive boards as well.
Longwood 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 #338 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Longwood 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 15.55, which ranks fourth from the bottom in D1. Longwood also does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 20.70 vs. AO, they are eighth from the bottom in the overall rankings for that category. Longwood lastly poses no threat whatsoever to grab rebounds off their own misses. Against AO, the ball-club has a rating of 9.57 in potential points scored off of second chances (tenth from the bottom nationally), and they convert just 4.8% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 321st) as well.
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.

When playing squads that have a defensive field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 44.20%, Longwood performs above average 70% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 25% of the time.
