ANALYSIS:
Not one of the better ball-clubs in college basketball, S. Carolina St. should be a fairly easy win for most capable opponents. Ranked 317th overall (out of 358) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 15-16. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of eight) in the MEAC (average ranking 289.3). With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.248 (which ranks sixth from the bottom nationally), S. Carolina St. has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.

S. Carolina St. is not one of the better offensive teams you will find. They are rated #321 in efficiency on that end of the court and only score about 91 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. S. Carolina St. is a lousy shooting team, incapable of converting efficiently from anyplace on the floor and ranking in the bottom-50 in each of our four most noteworthy field goal shooting categories. They make just 30.1% of their three-pointers (ranking 336th nationally), 33.8% of their mid-range attempts (330th), 48.4% of their near-proximity chances (fourth from the bottom), and 37.8% of their total shots from the field (fourth from the bottom) vs. AO. If S. Carolina St. does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to successfully get off shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of 86.93 vs. AO, which ranks #40 in college basketball.

Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, S. Carolina St. still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 105 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #256 in the nation in defensive efficiency. S. Carolina St. does an extremely poor job to deny the opposition behind the arc. They rank 338th nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 37.4% of their attempts from afar. S. Carolina St. also fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 29.09 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #334 in the country in that category.
