ANALYSIS:
Per this website's calculations, W. Kentucky is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. Haslametrics has them ranked 175th overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 18-16. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of 14) in Conference USA (average ranking 209.2).

If there is a strength for W. Kentucky this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 123rd in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 104 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. W. Kentucky is one of the better teams in the country when it comes to converting scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 8.8% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 34th nationally). W. Kentucky also fares better than most teams when it comes to converting from locations close to the basket. The team is ranked 68th in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 63.1% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO.

The defense for W. Kentucky, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 225th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 105 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. W. Kentucky does a pretty inadequate job to provide chances for themselves to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked #325 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.82 vs. AO.

W. Kentucky has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #32 ranking in positive momentum.
