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 244th overall (out of 357) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 17-12. Of the 12 schools in the Sun Belt (average ranking 234.5), they're currently ranked as our #8 team in the conference.

Appalachian St. is not one of the most productive teams on offense. Scoring fewer than 95 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are rated at #268 in offensive efficiency. Appalachian St. struggles to drain shots consistently from most spots on the floor, ranking in the bottom-50 in three of the four primary field goal shooting categories. They only convert 28.5% of their three-pointers (tenth from the bottom in the nation), 53.7% of their near-proximity attempts (308th), and 39.0% of their total shots from the field (342nd) vs. AO.

Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, Appalachian St. still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 102 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #217 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Appalachian St. struggles on occasion to deny opponents opportunities to shoot from the floor. The team is ranked 327th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 85.89 vs. AO. If Appalachian St. does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success preventing opponents from getting to the free throw line. The team has a defensive free throw attempt rate of 17.51 vs. AO, which ranks fourth-best in the country.
