ANALYSIS: Not one of the better ball-clubs in college basketball, Lipscomb should be a fairly easy win for most capable opponents. They are ranked #300 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 14-17. They are also ranked by this site as the #5 team (out of eight) in the Atlantic Sun (average ranking 260.8).
Lipscomb will certainly not be one of the stingier defenses opponents will encounter. Allowing more than 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked down at #306 in defensive efficiency. Lipscomb fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 35.16 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #332 in the country in that category. Lipscomb also does a very lackluster job preventing opponents from draining threes. They rank 323rd nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 38.1% of their attempts from afar. And to expose that weakness, AO will gladly launch the three all day and all night. Of AO's total field goals, a large chunk of them (38.0%) will be from long-distance. If Lipscomb 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 12.04 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 14th-best in college hoops.
Lipscomb doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 95 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #258 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Lipscomb does a terrible job to take advantage of scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 4.8% of all second-chance opportunities (332nd nationally). Lipscomb also needs improvement when it comes to draining the mid-range shot. The team is ranked 304th in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 31.8% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO.
Lipscomb is one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 44th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
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.

Lipscomb is typically better vs. teams that convert more frequently off of offensive rebounds. Against foes that have an offensive second-chance conversion percentage vs. AO greater than 6.80%, Lipscomb performs above their norm 80% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 44% of the time.
When facing teams that favor a faster tempo, Lipscomb often performs better than normal. Lipscomb is more efficient than usual 80% of the time when facing teams that have a pace vs. AO greater than 66.97. In their other contests, Lipscomb performs better than the norm 44% of the time.
