They're ranked 41st in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 31.8% of their attempts from that distance. Memphis has also had some success this season preventing opponents from converting many of their overall field goal attempts. The team ranks #59 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 40.5% of their total attempts from the floor.
