ANALYSIS:
If you see St. Francis (PA) on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. Ranked 240th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 18-13. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 10) in the NEC (average ranking 275.5). With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.325 (which ranks 328th nationally), St. Francis (PA) has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.

If there is a strength for St. Francis (PA) this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 160th in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 102 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. St. Francis (PA) does a really good job converting from the free throw line. Making 76.5% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 32nd nationally in free throw percentage. Unfortunately, with a free throw attempt rate of just 23.50 vs. AO, they don't provide themselves a whole lot of opportunities at the foul line. St. Francis (PA) is also fairly competent protecting the ball on offense, which minimizes opportunities for the opponent to score quickly off of steals. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 9.59, which ranks #62 in the country. If St. Francis (PA) does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad only has a rating of 11.13 vs. AO in potential points off of second chances, which ranks 32nd-worst in college hoops.

Unfortunately, St. Francis (PA) is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 312th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 110 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. St. Francis (PA) is one of the very worst teams in the game when it comes to preventing opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 9.8% of all second-chance opportunities (fifth from the bottom nationally). St. Francis (PA) also allows opponents' field goal percentages to get far too high. The ball-club ranks #320 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 48.5% of their total attempts from the floor. If St. Francis (PA) does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success preventing opponents from getting to the free throw line. The team has a defensive free throw attempt rate of 21.78 vs. AO, which ranks 33rd-best in the country.
