ANALYSIS:
Abil. Christian is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. They are ranked #164 (out of 353) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 20-11. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 13) in the Southland (average ranking 251.2).

Based on their performances this year, Abil. Christian will likely find more success on defense than they will on offense. Allowing about 97 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #121 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. Abil. Christian has extremely pesky defenders that ceaselessly attempt to deny opponents ample opportunity to shoot. The club is ranked second in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 71.07 vs. AO. Abil. Christian also does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 10.20 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 20th in the country). If Abil. Christian does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's tendency to send opponents to the line too much by fouling. The squad has a rating of 32.22 in defensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 14th-worst in the country.

Abil. Christian doesn't perform as well offensively as they do defensively. The team is ranked 207th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 97 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Abil. Christian won't provide opponents much of a scare with their shooting percentage from the inside. The team is ranked 305th in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 54.1% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. If Abil. Christian does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's care for the ball. The squad has a rating of 9.21 in potential points allowed off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 38th in the college game.

Abil. Christian is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked seventh in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
