ANALYSIS: Despite having a win percentage north of .500, Norfolk State is definitely a below-average ball-club in college hoops this year. Their record this season is 22-14, and the club is ranked 269th overall (out of 353) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the best team (out of 12) in the MEAC (average ranking 322.6). With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.303 (which ranks 341st nationally), Norfolk State has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.
Norfolk State is not one of the better offensive teams you will find. They are rated #291 in efficiency on that end of the court and only score about 96 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Norfolk State has a hard time converting field goals attempts on offense. The team is rated #320 in the country in field goal percentage, making good on a meager 40.4% of their attempts vs. AO. Norfolk State also won't provide opponents much of a scare with their shooting percentage from the inside. The team is ranked 309th in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 54.2% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO.
Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, Norfolk State still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 106 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #213 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Norfolk State fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 30.95 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #330 in the country in that category.
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.
