ANALYSIS: Sacred Heart presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Their record this season is 10-21, and the club is ranked 312th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #8 team (out of 10) in the NEC (average ranking 278.1). With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.309 (which ranks 334th nationally), Sacred Heart has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.
Offense is not the strong suit when it comes to Sacred Heart. The team is ranked 319th in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 93 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Sacred Heart is one of the least accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They are ranked seventh from the bottom in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 29.7% of their attempts from long vs. AO. Sacred Heart is also not one of the better teams when it comes to sinking foul shots. Converting just 67.5% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #306 overall in free throw percentage.
Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, Sacred Heart still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #252 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Sacred Heart does a pretty inadequate job to provide chances for themselves to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked #320 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 8.00 vs. AO. If Sacred Heart does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success stopping opponents from earning second-chance opportunities via offensive boards. The team has a rating of 12.60 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 44th-best in college hoops.
Sacred Heart has been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 312th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most. When playing on the road, Sacred Heart has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked ninth in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
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.

Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 15% of the time.
