ANALYSIS:
Even though they sport a very impressive win percentage, McNeese is considered by this site to be nothing more than a team that is slightly above-average. Ranked 92nd overall (out of 362) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 30-4. Of the 10 schools in the Southland (average ranking 276.3), they're currently ranked as the best team in the conference.

McNeese succeeds primarily through their offense. They are ranked 91st in offensive efficiency and score in excess of 110 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. McNeese allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 8.20, which ranks #9 in the country. McNeese will also routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is 15th in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. As far as converting those near-proximity shots goes, the team shoots 55.6% vs. AO, which falls somewhere in the middle of the pack of the rankings in that category. McNeese lastly does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 31.10 vs. AO, they are ranked 20th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. Unfortunately, they don't convert a ton of their free throws and make just 68.9% of their attempts.

McNeese plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 124th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 103 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. McNeese thrives on scoring fast and easy points off of steals. They're ranked seventh in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 17.00. McNeese also does a really good job to prevent opponents from getting off shots from the field. The club is ranked 43rd in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 82.20 vs. AO.
