ANALYSIS:
Charleston presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Haslametrics has them ranked 291st overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 9-24. Of the 10 schools in the Colonial (average ranking 207.0), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference.

If there is a strength for Charleston this year, it's probably on the defensive end of the court. The team is rated 161st in defensive efficiency, allowing fewer than 101 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Charleston has been fairly decent in preventing teams from draining shots from between the three-point stripe and the low post. They're ranked 85th in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 33.6% of their attempts from that distance. To capitalize on that weakness, this team will make AO shoot from mid-range locations more than they usually would. Of AO's total field goals, a large portion of them (34.6%) will be from mid-range. If Charleston does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's difficulties stopping opponents from obtaining second-chance opportunities via offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 18.28 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 20th-worst in college hoops.

Unfortunately, Charleston is not even remotely close to being as good on offense as they are on defense. The team is ranked 329th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 89 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Charleston 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 are worse off shooting inside the three-point stripe, making good on just 31.8% of their mid-range jumpers (308th in the nation), 53.0% of their near-proximity chances (310th), and 39.1% of their total shots from the field (320th) vs. AO. Charleston also struggles to draw fouls and earn opportunities at the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 24.52 vs. AO, they are 317th in the overall rankings for that category.

Charleston has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 302nd in the country in positive momentum. Charleston has also been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked ninth from the bottom overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict. On the road, Charleston performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 48th in our away-from-home metric.

When facing teams that have an offensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 35.73%, Charleston is more efficient than normal 31% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 71% of the time.
