ANALYSIS:
As an average to slightly above-average foe, South Alabama should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. They are ranked #161 (out of 358) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 21-12. Of the 12 schools in the Sun Belt (average ranking 209.3), they're currently ranked as our #3 team in the conference.

South Alabama will likely call on their defense to win a majority of their games. The team is ranked 140th in defensive efficiency and allows fewer than 100 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. South Alabama has been pretty good preventing teams from hitting shots in the paint. They are ranked 94th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 56.6% of their attempts from close-up. If South Alabama does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's difficulties stopping opponents from obtaining second-chance opportunities via offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 15.51 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 43rd-worst in college hoops.

South Alabama doesn't perform as well offensively as they do defensively. The team is ranked 205th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 99 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. South Alabama doesn't do a great job maximizing opportunities to score when in possession. The team is nationally ranked 290th in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 81.78 vs. AO.

South Alabama has definitely not been as efficient as of late compared to earlier in the season and, consequently, the team is nationally ranked ninth from the bottom in positive momentum. When playing on the road, South Alabama performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 326th in our site's away-from-home metric.

Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 40% of the time.

When facing teams that have a defensive field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 41.96%, South Alabama is more efficient than normal 40% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 78% of the time.
