ANALYSIS:
As an average to slightly above-average foe, Saint Louis should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. Ranked 149th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 17-16. Of the 14 schools in the A-10 (average ranking 152.0), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference.

Saint Louis has a fairly effective defensive attack. Occupying the #93 slot in our defensive efficiency ratings and preferring a more deliberate, half-court style of play (the 22nd-slowest pace in D1), they will allow about 98 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Saint Louis does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 4.8% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 16th in the NCAA). Saint Louis has also been pretty good preventing teams from hitting shots in the paint. They are ranked 56th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 56.1% of their attempts from close-up.

The offense for Saint Louis, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the defense is. The team is ranked 234th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 98 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Saint Louis is downright rotten when shooting the mid-range jumper. The team is ranked third from the bottom in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 29.9% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. Saint Louis also has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 64.7% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #343 overall in free throw percentage. If Saint Louis does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to get to the free throw line. The squad has a free throw attempt rate of 33.36 vs. AO, which ranks fourth in the country.

When playing on the road, Saint Louis performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 325th in our site's away-from-home metric.
