ANALYSIS:
Samford 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. They are ranked #160 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 20-16. They are also ranked by this site as the #7 team (out of 10) in the Southern (average ranking 177.7).

Based on the data, Samford will likely find more success on offense than on defense. Scoring about 104 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #117 slot in the rankings for offensive efficiency. Samford converts a fair amount of its free throws. Making 74.7% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 53rd nationally in free throw percentage. Samford has also been generally quite good when shooting the three-pointer. They're ranked 75th nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 37.3% of their attempts from there vs. AO. If Samford does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's penchant for allowing too many easy buckets off of giveaways. The squad has a rating of 12.80 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of steals, which ranks 40th-worst in the college game.

The defense for Samford, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 219th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 105 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Samford can be weak on rebounding, giving the opposition too many chances to score off of the offensive glass. The club has a rating of 17.04 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (321st nationally). Samford also struggles on occasion to deny opponents opportunities to shoot from the floor. The team is ranked 303rd in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 85.20 vs. AO.

In all other contests, Samford performs better than average 61% of the time.
