ANALYSIS: They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Wofford, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Their record this season is 19-16, and the club is ranked 148th overall (out of 353) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. Of the 10 schools in the Southern (average ranking 176.9), they're currently ranked as our #6 team in the conference.
Based on the data, Wofford will likely find more success on offense than on defense. Scoring about 102 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #114 slot in the rankings for offensive efficiency. Wofford lives and dies by the three-ball and will launch from long-distance early and often. The team ranks 17th 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 34.1% from beyond the arc vs. AO. Wofford also fares better than most teams when it comes to converting from locations close to the basket. The team is ranked 51st in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 63.0% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. If Wofford does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's inability to get to the free throw line. The squad has a free throw attempt rate of only 20.65 vs. AO, which ranks 26th-worst in the country.
Wofford doesn't perform as well defensively as they do offensively. The team is ranked 212th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 101 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Wofford has done a pretty poor job this season to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. The team is ranked 318th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 64.5% of their attempts from close-up. If Wofford 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 9.55 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks eighth-best in college hoops.
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 playing squads that have an offensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 34.44%, Wofford performs above average 9% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 68% of the time.
Wofford performs worse against squads that convert well from the charity stripe. When facing teams that have an adjusted free throw percentage vs. AO greater than 0.71%, Wofford is more efficient than normal 10% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 65% of the time.
When playing teams that are likely to allow more second chances off of offensive rebounds, Wofford usually performs better than average. Wofford is more efficient than normal 73% of the time when facing clubs that have a defensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 13.11. In all other contests, Wofford performs better than average 28% of the time.
