ANALYSIS: Samford is not one of the better teams in Division I this year. Ranked 271st overall (out of 357) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 6-13. Of the 10 schools in the Southern (average ranking 165.5), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference.
Samford is not one of the most productive teams on offense. Scoring fewer than 94 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are rated at #275 in offensive efficiency. Samford won't enter the conversation if you're looking to list the best three-point shooting teams in the country. They are ranked 326th in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 30.0% of their attempts from long vs. AO. Samford also isn't the greatest at protecting the ball on offense and, as a result, opponents tend to score more quick points off of steals than they normally would. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 13.44, which ranks 307th in D1.
Samford doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 103 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #230 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Samford commits too many fouls, which leads to plentiful free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 29.61 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #329 in the country in that category. If Samford does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success stopping opponents from earning second-chance opportunities via offensive boards. The team has a rating of 10.56 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 41st-best in college hoops.
Samford has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 318th in the country in positive momentum.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
Samford does better vs. clubs that are likely to allow more second chances off of offensive rebounds. When playing squads that have a defensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 12.58, Samford performs above average 88% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 33% of the time.
