ANALYSIS:
They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Southern Miss, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Carrying a record of 25-8, they are currently rated #99 overall (out of 363) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of 14) in the Sun Belt (average ranking 176.7).

Southern Miss has a fairly effective defensive attack. Occupying the #79 slot in our defensive efficiency ratings, they will allow about 97 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Southern Miss does a pretty solid job providing themselves chances to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked 34th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.13. Southern Miss also does an adequate job to prevent opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 4.4% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 68th in the NCAA).

Southern Miss is also a fairly decent team on the offensive end of the court. The team ranks 135th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 105 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Southern Miss has the potential to make you pay if you let them get close to the rim. The team is ranked 44th in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 64.1% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. However, even with their high conversion rate on near-proximity attempts, this team usually settles for shots from longer distances. Only about 31.4% of their total attempts vs. AO are from the inside. Southern Miss has also established itself as a team that cleans the offensive glass quite well. Against AO, the squad has a rating of 16.71 in potential points scored off of second chances (ranked 46th in the NCAA).

Southern Miss has definitely not been as efficient as of late compared to earlier in the season and, consequently, the team is nationally ranked 344th in positive momentum.
