ANALYSIS: As an average to slightly above-average foe, Southern Utah should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. Haslametrics has them ranked 122nd overall (out of 357) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 20-4. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 11) in the Big Sky (average ranking 219.6).
Southern Utah succeeds primarily through their offense. They are ranked 62nd in offensive efficiency and score in excess of 107 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Southern Utah is deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 79.1% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 12th nationally in free throw percentage. Moreover, they get ample opportunity to beat you from the line, as the ball-club falls in the top-50 in free throw attempt rate with a rating of 29.07 vs. AO. Southern Utah will also make a concerted effort to fire off quite a few three-pointers each game. The team ranks 47th in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. When it comes to actually making their three-point attempts, the squad shoots a so-so 32.9% from beyond the arc vs. AO.
Unfortunately, Southern Utah is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 263rd in defensive efficiency, allowing about 104 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Southern Utah struggles on occasion to deny opponents opportunities to shoot from the floor. The team is ranked 327th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 86.07 vs. AO. Southern Utah could also do a better job to deny opponents chances to score off of the offensive glass. The club has a rating of 15.00 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (307th nationally).
Southern Utah has been playing some of its most efficient basketball of the season recently and is presently ranked 19th in positive momentum. When playing on the road, Southern Utah has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 13th in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
