ANALYSIS:
They're far from the worst of the worst, but Charlotte should not be a terribly frightening opponent for most clubs. Their record this season is 14-19, and the club is ranked 217th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #8 team (out of 14) in Conference USA (average ranking 213.2).

Charlotte does not provide much of a challenge on defense. They are ranked at #265 in efficiency on that end of the court and give up about 107 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Charlotte does an extremely poor job to deny the opposition behind the arc. They rank third from the bottom nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 40.8% of their attempts from afar. Charlotte is also one of the very worst teams in the country in terms of overall defensive field goal percentage. The ball-club ranks #328 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 47.9% of their total attempts from the floor. If Charlotte does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success stopping opponents from earning second-chance opportunities via offensive boards. The team has a rating of 12.41 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 25th-best in college hoops.

Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, Charlotte still isn't one of the more capable offensive teams in college hoops. Scoring roughly 101 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #177 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Charlotte is downright rotten when shooting the mid-range jumper. The team is ranked 331st in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 30.9% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. Charlotte is also one of the more deficient teams in the nation as it pertains to scoring off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 5.1% of all second-chance opportunities (312th nationally).

Charlotte has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked 329th overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location.
Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
Charlotte does better vs. clubs that find ways to get to the free throw line. When playing squads that have an offensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO greater than 28.27, Charlotte performs above average 87% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 39% of the time.
