ANALYSIS: They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Tennessee St., as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Carrying a record of 17-13, they are currently rated #133 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of 12) in the OVC (average ranking 212.4).
Tennessee St. will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 64th in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 97 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Tennessee St. has extremely pesky defenders that ceaselessly attempt to deny opponents ample opportunity to shoot. The club is ranked fifth in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 74.54 vs. AO. Tennessee St. also does a bang-up job preventing the opposition from draining jumpers in between the three-point line and the low post. They're ranked 23rd in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 32.3% of their attempts from that distance. If Tennessee St. does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's tendency to send opponents to the line too much by fouling. The squad has a rating of 35.03 in defensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks eighth-worst in the country.
Unfortunately, Tennessee St. is not even remotely close to being as good on offense as they are on defense. The team is ranked 226th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 98 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Tennessee St. is downright rotten when shooting the mid-range jumper. The team is ranked 340th in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 30.8% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. If Tennessee St. does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's knack for obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 19.03 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 11th in all of college hoops.
Tennessee St. has been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 320th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most. When playing on the road, Tennessee St. has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 11th in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
