ANALYSIS: As an average to slightly above-average foe, Stephen F. Austin should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. They are ranked #124 (out of 357) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 16-5. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of 13) in the Southland (average ranking 265.5).
Stephen F. Austin will likely call on their defense to win a majority of their games. The team is ranked 142nd in defensive efficiency and allows fewer than 99 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Stephen F. Austin has extremely pesky defenders that ceaselessly attempt to deny opponents ample opportunity to shoot. The club is ranked third in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 74.44 vs. AO. Stephen F. Austin also does a pretty solid job providing themselves chances to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked 36th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.43. (Predictably, this aggressive style of play tends to result in too many fouls -- the team has a defensive free throw attempt rate of 29.89, ranked #333 in the country -- so they need to be wary of opponents that can convert from the foul line.) If Stephen F. Austin does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's troubles stopping opponents from converting mid-range jumpers. AO will make good on 43.1% of their mid-range field goal attempts, and the squad ranks 43rd-worst in that category because of it.
Stephen F. Austin plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 143rd nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 101 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Stephen F. Austin will routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is first in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to get to the inside, they are undoubtedly capable of making you pay. Presently rated in the top-100 in near-proximity shooting percentage, they make roughly 62.1% of their attempts from short-distance vs. AO. Stephen F. Austin also does an outstanding job finishing any scoring chances they obtain from offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 8.6% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked sixth nationally). Stephen F. Austin lastly does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 29.74 vs. AO, they are ranked 20th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. Unfortunately, they don't convert a ton of their free throws and make just 67.7% of their attempts. If Stephen F. Austin does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties in getting off a sufficient number of shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of just 77.75 vs. AO, which ranks 21st-worst in college basketball.
When playing on the road, Stephen F. Austin performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 314th in our site's away-from-home metric.
