ANALYSIS:
USC Upstate has a squad that most likely falls somewhere in the bottom half of NCAA Division I teams this year. They are ranked #241 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 17-16. Of the eight schools in the Atlantic Sun (average ranking 243.4), they're currently ranked as our #3 team in the conference.

USC Upstate does not provide much of a challenge on defense. They are ranked at #288 in efficiency on that end of the court and give up about 109 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. USC Upstate allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked fourth from the bottom in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 87.77 vs. AO. USC Upstate also gives up too many chances to easily score off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 8.5% of all second-chance opportunities (313th nationally).

Even though the team ranks considerably higher in offensive efficiency, USC Upstate isn't a powerhouse on that end of the floor either. Scoring roughly 100 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #178 in the nation in offensive efficiency. USC Upstate is not one of the better teams at drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 23.91 vs. AO, they are 296th in the overall rankings for that category.

USC Upstate is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 11th in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict. When playing on the road, USC Upstate has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 19th in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
