ANALYSIS:
American presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Carrying a record of 8-22, they are currently rated #304 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the Patriot League (average ranking 216.7), they're currently ranked as our #9 team in the conference.

American is not one of the better offensive teams you will find. They are rated #323 in efficiency on that end of the court and only score about 91 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. American poses no threat whatsoever to grab rebounds off their own misses. Against AO, the ball-club has a rating of 7.81 in potential points scored off of second chances (third from the bottom nationally), and they convert just 4.2% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked eighth from the bottom) as well. American also has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 62.1% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #344 overall in free throw percentage. American lastly happens to be one of the very worst in the game when it comes to maximizing the number of shot attempts they get off from the floor. The team is nationally ranked 336th in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 77.64 vs. AO.

Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, American still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 106 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #241 in the nation in defensive efficiency. American commits too many fouls, which leads to plentiful free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 31.84 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #315 in the country in that category. American has also done a lackluster job this year when defending the mid-range shot. The squad is ranked 315th nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 40.1% of their attempts from those in-between spots on the floor.
