ANALYSIS: As an average to slightly above-average foe, Wofford should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. Ranked 160th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 21-13. Of the 10 schools in the Southern (average ranking 208.7), they're currently ranked as our #5 team in the conference.
If there is a strength for Wofford this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 101st in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 105 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Wofford is deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 78.0% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 14th nationally in free throw percentage. Unfortunately, with a free throw attempt rate of just 22.44 vs. AO, they don't provide themselves a whole lot of opportunities at the foul line. Wofford is also one of the most accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They're ranked 14th nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 39.8% of their attempts from there vs. AO. The team will try to shoot a fair amount of threes, too. Roughly 43.1% of their field goal attempts vs. AO are from long, giving the team a top-50 ranking in that category. If Wofford does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining and converting second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a second-chance conversion percentage of just 4.0% vs. AO, which ranks tenth-worst in the nation.
The defense for Wofford, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 245th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 107 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Wofford allows opponents to make good on a fair number of their overall field goal attempts. The ball-club ranks #271 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 46.6% of their total attempts from the floor. 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 11.81 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 18th-best in college hoops.
On the road, Wofford performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 34th in our away-from-home metric.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
