ANALYSIS:
If you see USC Upstate on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. Ranked 239th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 17-16. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of eight) in the Atlantic Sun (average ranking 242.4).

If there is a strength for USC Upstate this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 170th in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 100 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. USC Upstate does a pretty decent job in most cases to maximize opportunities to score on offense. The team is ranked 61st in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 83.96 vs. AO. As far as making those field goal attempts goes, the team is somewhat middle-of-the-road, converting about 43.6% of them vs. AO. USC Upstate will also likely shoot a fair share of three-pointers each contest. The team ranks 66th in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. When it comes to actually making their three-point attempts, the squad shoots a so-so 34.0% from beyond the arc vs. AO.

The defense for USC Upstate, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 293rd in defensive efficiency, allowing about 109 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. USC Upstate allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked second from the bottom in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 88.55 vs. AO. USC Upstate also gives up too many chances to easily score off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 8.5% of all second-chance opportunities (316th nationally).

USC Upstate is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked ninth in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict. When playing on the road, USC Upstate has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 20th in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
