ANALYSIS:
Kennesaw State presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Their record this season is 14-18, and the club is ranked 266th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of eight) in the Atlantic Sun (average ranking 242.4).

Defense is not exactly a strength for Kennesaw State this year. The team is ranked 289th in defensive efficiency and allows more than 108 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Kennesaw State allows opposing teams far too many easy chances from the floor, ranking in the bottom-50 in three of the four main defensive field goal shooting categories. They are at their worst when defending outside the paint, allowing AO to convert 38.6% of their three-pointers (316th in the nation), 40.0% of their mid-range chances (313th), and 48.1% of their total shots from the field (322nd). Kennesaw State 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 (313th nationally).

Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, Kennesaw State still isn't one of the more capable offensive teams in college hoops. Scoring roughly 99 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #212 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Kennesaw State struggles to draw fouls and earn opportunities at the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 23.52 vs. AO, they are 313th in the overall rankings for that category. If Kennesaw State does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to sink threes. The squad converts 39.3% of their three-point attempts vs. AO, which ranks 22nd in the nation.

Kennesaw State is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked eighth in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
