ANALYSIS:
Youngstown St. presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Their record this season is 8-24, and the club is ranked 322nd overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. Of the 10 schools in the Horizon League (average ranking 228.5), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference.

Defense is the farthest thing from a strength for Youngstown St. this year. The team ranks 330th in defensive efficiency, allowing more than 112 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Youngstown St. allows the opposition far too many easy shots from the floor and ranks in the bottom-25 in three of our four major defensive field goal shooting categories. AO will convert a healthy 41.6% of their three-pointers (third from the bottom in the nation), 66.7% of their near-proximity attempts (336th), and 51.1% of their total shots from the field (second from the bottom). Youngstown St. also gives up too many chances to easily score off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 8.9% of all second-chance opportunities (325th nationally). If Youngstown St. does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their willingness to take risks in order to score fast points off of steals. The team has a solid rating of 14.28 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 15th-best in college basketball.

Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, Youngstown St. still isn't one of the more capable offensive teams in college hoops. Scoring roughly 97 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #249 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Youngstown St. has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 63.9% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #345 overall in free throw percentage. Youngstown St. is also downright rotten when shooting the mid-range jumper. The team is ranked 330th in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 32.3% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. If Youngstown St. does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to successfully get off shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of 86.24 vs. AO, which ranks #18 in college basketball.
