ANALYSIS:
If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, Northwestern St. likely fits the bill. Carrying a record of 9-23, they are currently rated #333 overall (out of 358) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the eight schools in the Southland (average ranking 292.9), they're currently ranked as our #6 team in the conference.

Northwestern St. has one of the most inept defenses in the NCAA. Allowing about 112 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they're ranked way down at #347 in defensive efficiency. Northwestern St. is 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 7.4% of all second-chance opportunities (fourth from the bottom nationally), and with a rating of 15.70, they're 323rd in potential points surrendered off of the offensive boards as well.

Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, Northwestern St. still isn't one of the more capable offensive teams in college hoops. Scoring roughly 95 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #284 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Northwestern St. does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 19.87 vs. AO, they are 345th in the overall rankings for that category.
