ANALYSIS:
While not an atrocious team by any means, Tennessee St. is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. Their record this season is 15-15, and the club is ranked 223rd overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. Of the 12 schools in the OVC (average ranking 219.8), they're currently ranked as our #6 team in the conference.

Tennessee St. will likely call on their defense to win a majority of their games. The team is ranked 126th in defensive efficiency and allows fewer than 101 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Tennessee St. has extremely pesky defenders that ceaselessly attempt to deny opponents ample opportunity to shoot. The club is ranked 24th in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 77.30 vs. AO. Tennessee St. is also one of the better teams when it comes to not allowing opponents to convert scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 5.1% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 28th in the NCAA), and with a rating of 12.74, they're 47th in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well.

Unfortunately, Tennessee St. is not even remotely close to being as good on offense as they are on defense. The team is ranked 297th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 95 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Tennessee St. happens to be one of the very worst in the game when it comes to maximizing the number of shot attempts they get off from the floor. The team is nationally ranked sixth from the bottom in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 76.69 vs. AO.

Tennessee St. has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 307th in the country in positive momentum. Tennessee St. has also been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 321st in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most. When playing on the road, Tennessee St. performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 308th in our site's away-from-home metric.
