ANALYSIS:
Wofford is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. They are ranked #134 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 16-17. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of 10) in the Southern (average ranking 176.3).

The primary strength for Wofford this year is offense. The team is ranked 99th in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 105 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Wofford is deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 79.2% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked second nationally in free throw percentage. Unfortunately, with a free throw attempt rate of just 24.08 vs. AO, they don't provide themselves a whole lot of opportunities at the foul line. Wofford is also one of the more accurate teams in the college game when it comes to shooting the three. They're ranked 32nd nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 38.8% of their attempts from there vs. AO. The team will try to shoot a fair amount of threes, too. Roughly 39.7% of their field goal attempts vs. AO are from long, giving the team a top-100 ranking in that category.

The defense for Wofford, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 225th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 105 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Wofford is extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #341 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.25 vs. AO. Wofford has also done a pretty poor job this season to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. The team is ranked 324th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 66.6% of their attempts from close-up. If Wofford does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success stopping opponents from earning second-chance opportunities via offensive boards. The team has a rating of 12.39 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 31st-best in college hoops.

When playing on the road, Wofford performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 317th in our site's away-from-home metric.
