ANALYSIS:
As an average to slightly above-average foe, Charleston should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. Haslametrics has them ranked 133rd overall (out of 353) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 24-9. Of the 10 schools in the Colonial (average ranking 215.5), they're currently ranked as our #3 team in the conference.

If there is a strength for Charleston this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 108th in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 106 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Charleston does a really good job converting from the free throw line. Making 76.1% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 29th nationally in free throw percentage. Charleston also has a keen ability to drain field goals between the three-point line and the low post. The squad is ranked 49th nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 39.3% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO.

Charleston plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 154th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 103 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Charleston is a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 21.47 vs. AO, they are currently rated 18th in the country in that category. Charleston also does a fairly satisfactory job to deny opponents chances to score off of the offensive glass. They have a rating of 12.31 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 65th in the country).
