ANALYSIS: If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, Tennessee St. likely fits the bill. They have a record of 5-26 and are ranked 331st overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 12 schools in the OVC (average ranking 212.2), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference.
Tennessee St. has one of the most anemic offenses around. They rank eighth from the bottom in efficiency on that end of the court and score fewer than 87 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Tennessee St. tends to be very careless with the ball and allows far too many breakaway opportunities off of their own turnovers. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 14.81, which ranks ninth from the bottom in D1. Tennessee St. also has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 62.5% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #339 overall in free throw percentage. Tennessee St. is lastly among the worst of the worst when it comes to field goal shooting. The team is rated #336 in the country in field goal percentage, making good on a meager 37.9% of their attempts vs. AO.
Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, Tennessee St. still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 106 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #273 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Tennessee St. commits too many fouls, which leads to plentiful free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 33.69 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #314 in the country in that category. Tennessee St. also does not stand out in a positive manner when they're asked to defend in the paint. The team is ranked 301st in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 63.3% of their attempts from close-up.
Tennessee St. has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 308th in the country in positive momentum.
