ANALYSIS: As an average to slightly above-average foe, W. Carolina should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. Haslametrics has them ranked 140th overall (out of 353) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 19-12. Of the 10 schools in the Southern (average ranking 176.9), they're currently ranked as our #4 team in the conference.
W. Carolina succeeds primarily through their offense. They are ranked 80th in offensive efficiency and score in excess of 104 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. W. Carolina is one of the more accurate teams in the college game when it comes to shooting the three. They're ranked 26th nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 36.9% of their attempts from there vs. AO. The team will try to shoot a fair amount of threes, too. Roughly 44.0% of their field goal attempts vs. AO are from long, giving the team a top-50 ranking in that category. W. Carolina also does a really good job to acquire opportunities from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 29.17 vs. AO, they are ranked 36th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 71.8%. If W. Carolina does have a 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 78.91 vs. AO, which ranks 50th-worst in college basketball.
Unfortunately, W. Carolina is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 256th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 103 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. W. Carolina will fail to secure many opportunities to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked #301 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 8.58 vs. AO.
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:
When facing teams that convert well from outside the arc, W. Carolina often performs better than normal. W. Carolina is more efficient than usual 67% of the time when facing teams that have an offensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 33.42%. In their other contests, W. Carolina performs better than the norm 27% of the time.
W. Carolina does worse vs. clubs that favor a faster tempo. When playing squads that have a pace vs. AO greater than 68.46, W. Carolina performs above average 40% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 78% of the time.
