ANALYSIS:
While not an atrocious team by any means, Tenn. Tech is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. They are ranked #253 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 12-20. They are also ranked by this site as the #10 team (out of 12) in the OVC (average ranking 212.4).

Tenn. Tech is not one of the most productive teams on offense. Scoring fewer than 96 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are rated at #286 in offensive efficiency. Tenn. Tech struggles to drain shots consistently from most spots on the floor, ranking in the bottom-50 in three of the four primary field goal shooting categories. They only convert 31.5% of their three-pointers (316th in the nation), 53.4% of their near-proximity attempts (322nd), and 40.8% of their total shots from the field (306th) vs. AO.

Tenn. Tech doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 105 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #237 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Tenn. Tech gives up too many chances to easily score off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 8.6% of all second-chance opportunities (319th nationally). If Tenn. Tech does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their ability to limit the number of shot attempts by the opposition. The team has a defensive field goal attempt rate of 78.68 vs. AO, which ranks 47th-best in college basketball.

Tenn. Tech has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #46 ranking in positive momentum. Tenn. Tech is also one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 29th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm. When playing on the road, Tenn. Tech has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 22nd in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
