ANALYSIS:
Southern Utah is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. Ranked 142nd overall (out of 353) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 17-15. Of the 11 schools in the Big Sky (average ranking 189.0), they're currently ranked as our #4 team in the conference.

The primary strength for Southern Utah is defense. The team is ranked 96th in efficiency, allowing fewer than 96 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Southern Utah does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 3.6% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 24th in the NCAA). Southern Utah has also done a really good job this year to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. They are ranked 48th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 54.6% of their attempts from close-up.

The offense for Southern Utah, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the defense is. The team is ranked 213th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 97 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Southern Utah has some difficulties converting mid-range shot attempts. The team is ranked 300th in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 34.2% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO.

On the road, Southern Utah performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 39th in our away-from-home metric.
