ANALYSIS: While not an atrocious team by any means, St. Francis (PA) is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. Their record this season is 16-16, and the club is ranked 198th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of 10) in the NEC (average ranking 260.3).

Allowing about 100 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #146 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. St. Francis (PA) does a pretty solid job avoiding careless fouls and minimizing opponents' opportunities from the free throw line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 24.33 vs. AO, they are currently rated 31st in the country in that category. If St. Francis (PA) does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's difficulties stopping opponents from converting from the inside. AO will convert 65.6% of their near-proximity field goal attempts, and the team ranks 16th-worst in that category as a result.
The offense for St. Francis (PA), on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the defense is. The team is ranked 252nd in offensive efficiency, scoring about 96 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. St. Francis (PA) does a fairly poor job cleaning the offensive glass. Against AO, the ball-club has a rating of 11.96 in potential points scored off of second chances (319th nationally). If St. Francis (PA) does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's care for the ball. The squad has a rating of 8.77 in potential points allowed off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 20th in the college game.
