ANALYSIS:
If you see Gardner-Webb on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. They are ranked #200 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 19-14. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 10) in the Big South (average ranking 252.1).

Based on their performances this year, Gardner-Webb will likely find more success on defense than they will on offense. Allowing about 101 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #146 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. Gardner-Webb thrives on scoring fast and easy points off of steals. They're ranked seventh in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 15.26. Gardner-Webb has also been able to successfully prevent opponents from making shots between the three-point stripe and the low post. They're ranked 50th in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 33.3% of their attempts from that distance. If Gardner-Webb does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's difficulties stopping opponents from converting from the inside. AO will convert 65.1% of their near-proximity field goal attempts, and the team ranks 40th-worst in that category as a result.

Gardner-Webb doesn't perform as well offensively as they do defensively. The team is ranked 241st in offensive efficiency, scoring about 97 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Gardner-Webb is downright rotten when shooting the mid-range jumper. The team is ranked sixth from the bottom in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 30.1% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. Gardner-Webb also happens to be one of the very worst in the game when it comes to maximizing the number of shot attempts they get off from the floor. The team is nationally ranked 341st in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 76.93 vs. AO. Gardner-Webb lastly has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 63.3% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #339 overall in free throw percentage.

Gardner-Webb has been playing much better basketball as of late and is presently ranked 11th in positive momentum because of it. Gardner-Webb is also one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked fifth in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict. When playing on the road, Gardner-Webb has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 13th in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
