ANALYSIS:
As an average to slightly above-average foe, Lipscomb should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. They have a record of 20-13 and are ranked 171st overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the eight schools in the Atlantic Sun (average ranking 242.4), they're currently ranked as our #2 team in the conference.

If there is a strength for Lipscomb this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. While favoring one of the game's most blistering paces (the sixth-fastest in D1), the team is rated 148th in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 102 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Lipscomb lives and dies by the three-ball and will launch from long-distance early and often. The team ranks tenth 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 35.6% from beyond the arc vs. AO. If Lipscomb does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties in getting off a sufficient number of shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of just 77.91 vs. AO, which ranks 22nd-worst in college basketball.

Lipscomb is not quite as good on the defensive end of the floor. The team is ranked 191st in defensive efficiency, allowing about 103 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Lipscomb fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 33.34 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #335 in the country in that category. Lipscomb 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 16.96 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (320th nationally), and they let AO convert a healthy 8.3% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 303rd) as well. If Lipscomb does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their ability to limit the number of shot attempts by the opposition. The team has a defensive field goal attempt rate of 77.07 vs. AO, which ranks 22nd-best in college basketball.
