ANALYSIS:
If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, Charleston So. likely fits the bill. Their record this season is 14-18, and the club is ranked 316th overall (out of 353) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #7 team (out of 11) in the Big South (average ranking 282.5). With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.310 (which ranks 335th in the nation), Charleston So. has faced some of the easiest opponents in all of college basketball.

Defense is not exactly a strength for Charleston So. this year. The team is ranked 303rd in defensive efficiency and allows more than 105 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Charleston So. is one of the very worst teams in the game when it comes to preventing opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 7.0% of all second-chance opportunities (333rd nationally), and with a rating of 15.04, they're 306th in potential points surrendered off of the offensive boards as well. Charleston So. also allows opposing teams far too many easy chances from the floor, ranking in the bottom-50 in three of the four main defensive field goal shooting categories. They are exceptionally deficient defending inside the three-point line, allowing AO to make good on 41.1% of their mid-range jumpers (315th in the nation), 64.9% of their near-proximity chances (324th), and 47.0% of their total shots from the field (319th).

Charleston So. doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 92 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #300 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Charleston So. does a terrible job to take advantage of scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 2.5% of all second-chance opportunities (last nationally), and with a rating of 6.93, they're second from the bottom in potential points scored off of the offensive boards as well. Charleston So. also does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 17.61 vs. AO, they are second from the bottom in the overall rankings for that category. If Charleston So. does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's outstanding shooting at the charity stripe. The squad makes 76.1% of their free throw attempts, which ranks #32 in Division I.

Charleston So. has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked eighth from the bottom overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict. On the road, Charleston So. performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 31st in our away-from-home metric.

Charleston So. is more efficient than normal 25% of the time when facing clubs that have an offensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 31.83%. In all other contests, Charleston So. performs better than average 64% of the time.
