ANALYSIS:
S. Carolina St. is a poor basketball team, arguably one of the very worst in all of college hoops. Their record this season is 1-17, and the club is ranked fifth from the bottom overall (out of 357) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the worst team (out of 11) in the MEAC (average ranking 304.9).

S. Carolina St. has a very tough time coming by points on offense. Scoring about 83 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are woefully ranked #350 in offensive efficiency. S. Carolina St. has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 60.7% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #353 overall in free throw percentage. S. Carolina St. also shoots dreadfully from the floor and ranks in the bottom-25 in three of our four major field goal shooting categories. They are worse off shooting inside the three-point stripe, making good on just 32.1% of their mid-range jumpers (337th in the nation), 50.3% of their near-proximity chances (sixth from the bottom), and 38.4% of their total shots from the field (tenth from the bottom) vs. AO.

Sadly, S. Carolina St. is almost as horrific on the defensive end of the floor as they are on the offensive end of it. Allowing roughly 112 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #348 in the nation in defensive efficiency. S. Carolina St. 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. AO will convert a healthy 37.0% of their three-pointers (322nd in the nation), 67.6% of their near-proximity attempts (fifth from the bottom), and 49.8% of their total shots from the field (third from the bottom). S. Carolina St. is also 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 6.7% of all second-chance opportunities (335th nationally).

S. Carolina St. has been playing much better basketball as of late and is presently ranked ninth in positive momentum because of it. When playing on the road, S. Carolina St. performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 325th in our site's away-from-home metric.
