ANALYSIS:
They're far from the worst of the worst, but LA Tech should not be a terribly frightening opponent for most clubs. Their record this season is 15-18, and the club is ranked 186th overall (out of 363) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #7 team (out of 11) in Conference USA (average ranking 148.7).

If there is a strength for LA Tech this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 172nd in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 102 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. LA Tech will make a strong effort to get off as many field goals close to the basket as they can. The ball-club is 26th in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. As far as converting those near-proximity shots goes, the team shoots 56.2% vs. AO, which falls somewhere in the middle of the pack of the rankings in that category.

LA Tech is not quite as good on the defensive end of the floor. The team is ranked 190th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 103 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. LA Tech does an extremely poor job to deny the opposition behind the arc. They rank 347th nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 37.7% of their attempts from afar. And to expose that weakness, AO will gladly launch the three all day and all night. Of AO's total field goals, a large chunk of them (41.9%) will be from long-distance. If LA Tech does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their ability to limit the number of shot attempts by the opposition. The team has a defensive field goal attempt rate of 79.04 vs. AO, which ranks 19th-best in college basketball.
