ANALYSIS: If you see Louisiana on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. They have a record of 16-15 and are ranked 183rd overall (out of 358) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #7 team (out of 12) in the Sun Belt (average ranking 209.3).
Louisiana sports an offensive attack that is mediocre at best. Rated at #209 in offensive efficiency, they score about 99 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Louisiana tends to be very careless with the ball and allows far too many breakaway opportunities off of their own turnovers. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 13.59, which ranks 340th in D1. If Louisiana does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's knack for obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 16.37 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 40th in all of college hoops.
Louisiana doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 102 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #183 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Louisiana does not stand out in a positive manner when they're asked to defend in the paint. The team is ranked 298th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 62.5% of their attempts from close-up. If Louisiana does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their ability to prevent opponents from draining shot attempts in between the three-point line and the low post. AO will convert just 30.3% of their mid-range field goal attempts, and the team is nationally ranked second-best in that category as a result.
On the road, Louisiana performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 27th in our away-from-home metric.
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.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
When facing teams that tend to capitalize off breakaway opportunities, Louisiana often performs worse than normal. Louisiana is more efficient than usual 20% of the time when facing teams that have a potential point rate off steals vs. AO greater than 12.03. In their other contests, Louisiana performs better than the norm 63% of the time.
Louisiana does better vs. clubs that aren't terribly skilled defensively. When playing squads that have a defensive efficiency rating vs. AO greater than 99.93, Louisiana performs above average 65% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 25% of the time.
Louisiana performs worse against squads that do a nice job converting inside the paint. When facing teams that have an offensive near-proximity field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 59.33%, Louisiana is more efficient than normal 22% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 60% of the time.
