ANALYSIS:
They're far from the worst of the worst, but Appalachian St. should not be a terribly frightening opponent for most clubs. Haslametrics has them ranked 193rd overall (out of 353) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 11-21. Of the 12 schools in the Sun Belt (average ranking 171.9), they're currently ranked as our #8 team in the conference.

Based on the data, Appalachian St. will likely find more success on offense than on defense. Scoring about 104 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #145 slot in the rankings for offensive efficiency. Appalachian St. acquires a fair amount of chances from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 27.98 vs. AO, they are ranked 94th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 72.0%.

Appalachian St. doesn't perform as well defensively as they do offensively. The team is ranked 234th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 107 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Appalachian St. has done a lackluster job this year when defending the mid-range shot. The squad is ranked 310th nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 39.5% of their attempts from those in-between spots on the floor.

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