ANALYSIS:
Charleston So. is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. Ranked 162nd overall (out of 353) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 18-16. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 11) in the Big South (average ranking 208.3).

Allowing about 100 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #105 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. Charleston So. has been able to successfully prevent opponents from making shots between the three-point stripe and the low post. They're ranked 35th in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 32.2% of their attempts from that distance. Charleston So. also does a pretty solid job providing themselves chances to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked 40th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.40.

The offense for Charleston So., on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the defense is. The team is ranked 235th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 99 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Charleston So. does a terrible job to take advantage of scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 4.1% of all second-chance opportunities (332nd nationally).

With a free throw attempt rate of just 20.42 vs. AO, they are 329th in the overall rankings for that category. Charleston So. lastly has some difficulty protecting the ball efficiently when in possession, which leads to some quick and easy baskets for the opposition. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 14.23, which ranks 328th in D1.
