ANALYSIS:
Incarnate Word is not one of the better teams in Division I this year. They are ranked #340 (out of 353) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 6-25. Of the 13 schools in the Southland (average ranking 269.8), they're currently ranked as our #12 team in the conference.

Incarnate Word has a very sieve-like defense that gives up points way too easily. The team is ranked second from the bottom in efficiency on that end of the court and gives up more than 118 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Incarnate Word can be counted on to make some of the inferior shooting teams look pretty capable. The team ranks in the bottom-50 in each of the four major defensive field goal shooting categories. They allow AO to make 37.9% of their three-pointers (30th-worst in the nation), 41.9% of their mid-range jumpers (12th-worst), 70.6% of their near-proximity chances (second-worst), and 51.9% of their total shots from the field (worst). Incarnate Word is also one of the very worst teams in the game when it comes to preventing opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 8.4% of all second-chance opportunities (340th nationally).

Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, Incarnate Word 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 #298 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Incarnate Word poses no threat whatsoever to grab rebounds off their own misses. Against AO, the ball-club has a rating of 8.88 in potential points scored off of second chances (last nationally). Incarnate Word also happens to be one of the very worst in the game when it comes to maximizing the number of shot attempts they get off from the floor. The team is nationally ranked fourth from the bottom in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 76.98 vs. AO. If Incarnate Word does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's outstanding shooting at the charity stripe. The squad makes 79.7% of their free throw attempts, which ranks #3 in Division I.

Incarnate Word has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 325th in the country in positive momentum. Incarnate Word has also been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 304th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most. On the road, Incarnate Word performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 50th in our away-from-home metric.
