ANALYSIS:
While not an atrocious team by any means, American is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. They have a record of 4-6 and are ranked 267th overall (out of 357) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #8 team (out of 10) in the Patriot League (average ranking 212.8).

American is not one of the most productive teams on offense. Scoring fewer than 93 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are rated at #280 in offensive efficiency. American does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 19.61 vs. AO, they are 345th in the overall rankings for that category. American also tends to be very careless with the ball and allows far too many breakaway opportunities off of their own turnovers. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 14.89, which ranks 345th in D1. American lastly 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 342nd in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 77.42 vs. AO.

Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, American still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 102 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #213 in the nation in defensive efficiency. American has done a lackluster job this year when defending the mid-range shot. The squad is ranked 322nd nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 43.6% of their attempts from those in-between spots on the floor.
