ANALYSIS:
South Alabama is not one of the better teams in Division I this year. Carrying a record of 12-21, they are currently rated #266 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 11 schools in the Sun Belt (average ranking 206.9), they're currently ranked as our #8 team in the conference.

South Alabama does not provide much of a challenge on defense. They are ranked at #305 in efficiency on that end of the court and give up about 108 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. South Alabama gives up far too many offensive rebounds and second chances to their opponents. The club has a rating of 20.77 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (second from the bottom nationally), and they let AO convert a healthy 8.8% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 327th) as well. South Alabama also allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked 341st in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 87.50 vs. AO.

Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, South Alabama still isn't one of the more capable offensive teams in college hoops. Scoring roughly 97 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #229 in the nation in offensive efficiency. South Alabama is one of the more inferior teams in the college game when it comes to maximizing opportunities to score on offense. The team is nationally ranked 312th in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 78.28 vs. AO.

South Alabama has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked seventh from the bottom overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict. On the road, South Alabama performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 29th in our away-from-home metric.
