ANALYSIS:
If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, Appalachian St. likely fits the bill. Their record this season is 12-17, and the club is ranked 286th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #10 team (out of 11) in the Sun Belt (average ranking 206.9).

Appalachian St. is not one of the better offensive teams you will find. They are rated #272 in efficiency on that end of the court and only score about 95 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Appalachian St. needs improvement when it comes to draining the mid-range shot. The team is ranked 307th in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 31.8% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. Exacerbating the situation, they find themselves in the bottom-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting only 39.8% of all their attempts from the floor vs. AO.

Appalachian St. doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 105 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #238 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Appalachian St. does a pretty inadequate job to provide chances for themselves to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked #311 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 8.77 vs. AO.
