ANALYSIS:
Regardless of what the win percentage says, South Alabama isn't a very good team this year. Carrying a record of 17-11, they are currently rated #213 overall (out of 357) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 12 schools in the Sun Belt (average ranking 233.9), they're currently ranked as our #5 team in the conference.

If there is a strength for South Alabama this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 163rd in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 99 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. South Alabama will likely shoot a fair share of three-pointers each contest. The team ranks 68th 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 33.5% from beyond the arc vs. AO. South Alabama also does fairly solid work converting shots between the three-point stripe and the low post. The squad is ranked 68th nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 41.2% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO. If South Alabama does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining and converting second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a second-chance conversion percentage of just 3.3% vs. AO, which ranks 34th-worst in the nation.

The defense for South Alabama, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 305th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 107 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. South Alabama allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked third from the bottom in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 89.35 vs. AO. If South Alabama does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success preventing opponents from getting to the free throw line. The team has a defensive free throw attempt rate of 20.04 vs. AO, which ranks 28th-best in the country.

In all other contests, South Alabama performs better than average 73% of the time.
