ANALYSIS:
They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Furman, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. They are ranked #91 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 23-10. Of the 10 schools in the Southern (average ranking 208.7), they're currently ranked as the best team in the conference.

Furman has a fairly effective defensive attack. Occupying the #87 slot in our defensive efficiency ratings, they will allow about 98 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Furman thrives on scoring fast and easy points off of steals. They're ranked ninth in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.78. Furman also does an outstanding job shutting down the opposition from behind the arc. They rank tenth in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 31.0% of their attempts from afar.

Furman plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 93rd nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 107 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Furman will make a concerted effort to fire off quite a few three-pointers each game. The team ranks 32nd in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. When it comes to actually making their three-point attempts, the squad shoots a so-so 35.5% from beyond the arc vs. AO. Furman also has one of the better squads in the college game when it comes to maximizing opportunities to score. The team is ranked 35th in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 85.38 vs. AO. As far as making those field goal attempts goes, the team is somewhat middle-of-the-road, converting about 45.1% of them vs. AO.
