ANALYSIS:
This website places Furman in the top 25% of all NCAA college basketball teams this year. They have a record of 25-8 and are ranked 80th overall (out of 353) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of 10) in the Southern (average ranking 185.9).

The primary strength for Furman is defense. The team is ranked 49th in efficiency, allowing fewer than 97 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Furman does an outstanding job shutting down the opposition from behind the arc. They rank 23rd in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 31.1% of their attempts from afar. Furman also does a pretty solid job providing themselves chances to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked 33rd in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.65.

Furman is also a fairly decent team on the offensive end of the court. The team ranks 118th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 106 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 38th 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 35.1% from beyond the arc vs. AO. Furman also does a pretty decent job in most cases to maximize opportunities to score on offense. The team is ranked 65th in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 86.06 vs. AO. As far as making those field goal attempts goes, the team is somewhat middle-of-the-road, converting about 45.5% of them vs. AO. If Furman does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's inability to get to the free throw line. The squad has a free throw attempt rate of only 19.33 vs. AO, which ranks eighth-worst in the country.
