ANALYSIS:
American presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Haslametrics has them ranked 332nd overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 6-24. Of the 10 schools in the Patriot League (average ranking 251.4), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference.

American will certainly not be one of the stingier defenses opponents will encounter. Allowing more than 111 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked down at #324 in defensive efficiency. American 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 39.9% of their three-pointers (tenth from the bottom in the nation), 40.4% of their mid-range chances (302nd), and 49.3% of their total shots from the field (332nd). American also fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 32.25 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #337 in the country in that category. American is lastly 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 9.0% of all second-chance opportunities (329th nationally).

American doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 92 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #323 in the nation in offensive efficiency. American has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 65.7% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #335 overall in free throw percentage. American also needs improvement when it comes to draining the mid-range shot. The team is ranked 325th in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 32.5% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO.
