ANALYSIS:
USC Upstate is not one of the better teams in Division I this year. They are ranked #320 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 10-22. Of the eight schools in the Atlantic Sun (average ranking 243.1), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference.

USC Upstate has a very sieve-like defense that gives up points way too easily. The team is ranked 337th in efficiency on that end of the court and gives up more than 112 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. USC Upstate is extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #332 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.72 vs. AO. USC Upstate also can be weak on rebounding, giving the opposition too many chances to score off of the offensive glass. The club has a rating of 18.06 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (320th nationally).

Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, USC Upstate still isn't one of the more capable offensive teams in college hoops. Scoring roughly 95 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #283 in the nation in offensive efficiency. USC Upstate has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 64.1% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #332 overall in free throw percentage. USC Upstate also has some difficulty protecting the ball efficiently when in possession, which leads to some quick and easy baskets for the opposition. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 12.82, which ranks 315th in D1.

USC Upstate has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #46 ranking in positive momentum. USC Upstate is also one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 16th in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
