ANALYSIS:
Regardless of what the win percentage says, FGCU isn't a very good team this year. They have a record of 22-11 and are ranked 194th overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of eight) in the Atlantic Sun (average ranking 260.8).

Based on their performances this year, FGCU will likely find more success on defense than they will on offense. Allowing about 101 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #163 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. FGCU has done a very good job to prevent opponents from draining threes this year. They rank 31st in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 31.5% of their attempts from afar. FGCU has also done a really good job this year to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. They are ranked 43rd in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 53.6% of their attempts from close-up. And to capitalize on that weakness, this team will make AO shoot from the inside more than they usually would. Of AO's total field goals, a big portion of them (39.2%) will be from short-distance. If FGCU does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's difficulties stopping opponents from obtaining second-chance opportunities via offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 17.47 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 44th-worst in college hoops.

FGCU doesn't perform as well offensively as they do defensively. The team is ranked 230th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 97 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. FGCU fares worse than most teams when it comes to converting from locations close to the hoop. The team is ranked 301st in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 53.4% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. If FGCU does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to successfully get off shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of 85.25 vs. AO, which ranks #43 in college basketball.

FGCU has been playing some of their worst basketball of the season as of late, and they're presently ranked fifth from the bottom in positive momentum because of it.
