ANALYSIS:
They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Memphis, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Carrying a record of 19-13, they are currently rated #100 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of 11) in the AAC (average ranking 117.5).

If there is a strength for Memphis this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 102nd in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 105 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Memphis will make a strong effort to get off as many field goals close to the basket as they can. The ball-club is 33rd in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to get to the inside, they are undoubtedly capable of making you pay. Presently rated in the top-50 in near-proximity shooting percentage, they make roughly 64.7% of their attempts from short-distance vs. AO. Memphis also acquires a fair amount of chances from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 31.10 vs. AO, they are ranked 53rd in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. Unfortunately, they don't convert a ton of their free throws and make just 67.8% of their attempts. If Memphis does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's ability (or lack thereof) to sink threes. The squad converts just 30.3% of their three-point attempts vs. AO, which ranks 18th-worst in the nation.

Memphis plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 104th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 99 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Memphis has been pretty good preventing teams from hitting shots in the paint. They are ranked 59th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 55.6% of their attempts from close-up. Memphis will also look to secure a relatively healthy number of easy scoring opportunities off of steals. They're ranked 70th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 12.36.

Memphis has definitely not been as efficient as of late compared to earlier in the season and, consequently, the team is nationally ranked fourth from the bottom in positive momentum. Memphis has also been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 318th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most. On the road, Memphis performs noticeably worse than they do at home. The team is currently ranked 331st in the country in the away-from-home metric we track.

In all other contests, Memphis performs better than average 30% of the time.
Memphis is typically worse vs. teams that allow a greater number of field goal opportunities.
