ANALYSIS:
Portland State has a squad that most likely falls somewhere in the bottom half of NCAA Division I teams this year. Carrying a record of 9-13, they are currently rated #253 overall (out of 357) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #7 team (out of 11) in the Big Sky (average ranking 220.3).

Portland State will likely call on their defense to win a majority of their games. The team is ranked 118th in defensive efficiency and allows fewer than 98 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Portland State has extremely pesky defenders that ceaselessly attempt to deny opponents ample opportunity to shoot. The club is ranked ninth in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 75.94 vs. AO. If Portland State does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's tendency to send opponents to the line too much by fouling. The squad has a rating of 28.90 in defensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 40th-worst in the country.

Unfortunately, Portland State is not even remotely close to being as good on offense as they are on defense. The team is ranked 320th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 90 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Portland State 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 at their worst when shooting outside the paint, converting just 30.5% of their three-pointers (314th in the nation), 32.0% of their mid-range chances (341st), and 38.9% of their total shots from the field (343rd) vs. AO. If Portland State does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's knack for obtaining second-chance opportunities off of their frequent misses. The squad has a rating of 15.58 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 49th in all of college hoops.

On the road, Portland State performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 47th in our away-from-home metric.
