ANALYSIS:
Northern Iowa has a squad that most likely falls somewhere in the bottom half of NCAA Division I teams this year. Carrying a record of 14-18, they are currently rated #216 overall (out of 363) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #7 team (out of 12) in the MVC (average ranking 194.2).

Though their offense is far from the worst in the game, Northern Iowa is not terribly gifted on that end of the court either. Scoring about 101 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked at #220 in offensive efficiency. Northern Iowa is one of the more deficient teams in the nation as it pertains to scoring off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 3.8% of all second-chance opportunities (327th nationally), and with a rating of 10.74, they're 325th in potential points scored off of the offensive boards as well. If Northern Iowa 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 41.8% of their in-between field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks 38th in the NCAA.

Northern Iowa doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 105 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #210 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Northern Iowa tends to struggle a bit against teams that shoot the three. They rank 297th nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 36.3% of their attempts from afar. And to expose that weakness, AO will gladly launch the three all day and all night. Of AO's total field goals, a large chunk of them (41.7%) will be from long-distance.

Northern Iowa is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 16th in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict. When playing on the road, Northern Iowa has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 19th in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
