ANALYSIS:
Southern is not one of the better teams in Division I this year. Their record this season is 15-18, and the club is ranked 328th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of 10) in the SWAC (average ranking 321.6). With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.278 (which ranks eighth from the bottom in the nation), Southern has faced some of the easiest opponents in all of college basketball.

Southern has a very tough time coming by points on offense. Scoring about 90 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are woefully ranked #337 in offensive efficiency. Southern 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 32.6% of their three-pointers (ranking 302nd nationally), 32.5% of their mid-range attempts (326th), 52.8% of their near-proximity chances (329th), and 38.7% of their total shots from the field (seventh from the bottom) vs. AO.

Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, Southern still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #265 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Southern does a pretty inadequate job to provide chances for themselves to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked #303 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 8.39 vs. AO. Southern also has some difficulty staying out of foul trouble, leading to an excess of free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 29.62 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #301 in the country in that category.

Southern is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked ninth in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
