ANALYSIS:
Regardless of what the win percentage says, Texas Southern isn't a very good team this year. They are ranked #226 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 23-12. They are also ranked by this site as the best team (out of 10) in the SWAC (average ranking 323.5).

Though their defense is far from abysmal, Texas Southern is not really proficient on that end of the court either. Allowing about 106 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they are ranked #240 in defensive efficiency. Texas Southern gives up far too many offensive rebounds and second chances to their opponents. The club has a rating of 17.22 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (331st nationally), and they let AO convert a healthy 8.4% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 307th) as well.

Texas Southern doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 100 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #194 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Texas Southern is downright rotten when shooting the mid-range jumper. The team is ranked seventh from the bottom in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 30.2% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. Texas Southern is also one of the least accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They are ranked 341st in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 29.3% of their attempts from long vs. AO. If Texas Southern 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 17.55 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 34th in all of college hoops.

Texas Southern has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 319th in the country in positive momentum.
