ANALYSIS: USC Upstate is not one of the better teams in Division I this year. They are ranked #331 (out of 353) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 6-26. Of the 11 schools in the Big South (average ranking 208.3), they're currently ranked as our #10 team in the conference.
USC Upstate has one of the most anemic offenses around. They rank 330th in efficiency on that end of the court and score fewer than 92 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. USC Upstate does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 20.26 vs. AO, they are 331st in the overall rankings for that category. USC Upstate is also among the worst of the worst when it comes to field goal shooting. The team is rated #331 in the country in field goal percentage, making good on a meager 39.7% of their attempts vs. AO.
USC Upstate doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 112 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #318 in the nation in defensive efficiency. USC Upstate is one of the very worst teams in the game when it comes to preventing opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 8.7% of all second-chance opportunities (ninth from the bottom nationally), and with a rating of 15.79, they're 307th in potential points surrendered off of the offensive boards as well. USC Upstate is also one of the very worst teams in the country in terms of overall defensive field goal percentage. The ball-club ranks #342 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 48.6% of their total attempts from the floor. USC Upstate lastly fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 30.89 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #329 in the country in that category.
USC Upstate has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 324th in the country in positive momentum. USC Upstate is also one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 40th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
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.
