ANALYSIS:
Not one of the better ball-clubs in college basketball, NC Central should be a fairly easy win for most capable opponents. They are ranked #309 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 12-19. Of the 13 schools in the MEAC (average ranking 312.4), they're currently ranked as our #6 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.277 (which ranks fourth from the bottom in the nation), NC Central has faced some of the easiest opponents in all of college basketball.

Offense is not the strong suit when it comes to NC Central. The team is ranked 308th in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 94 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. NC Central is downright rotten when shooting the mid-range jumper. The team is ranked third from the bottom in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 29.2% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. NC Central also won't provide opponents much of a scare with their shooting percentage from the inside. The team is ranked 308th in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 53.7% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO.

NC Central doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 109 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #301 in the nation in defensive efficiency. NC Central allows opponents to make good on a fair number of their overall field goal attempts. The ball-club ranks #289 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 46.6% of their total attempts from the floor.
