ANALYSIS:
Per this website's calculations, GA Southern is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. They are ranked #133 (out of 353) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 20-13. Of the 12 schools in the Sun Belt (average ranking 173.3), they're currently ranked as our #4 team in the conference.

GA Southern will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 98th in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 96 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. GA Southern does a pretty solid job avoiding careless fouls and minimizing opponents' opportunities from the free throw line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 20.35 vs. AO, they are currently rated 27th in the country in that category. GA Southern has also done a very good job to prevent opponents from draining threes this year. They rank 28th in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 30.3% of their attempts from afar. If GA Southern does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's difficulties stopping opponents from converting from the inside. AO will convert 65.9% of their near-proximity field goal attempts, and the team ranks 17th-worst in that category as a result.

GA Southern is also a fairly decent team on the offensive end of the court. The team ranks 171st nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 99 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. GA Southern fares better than most teams when it comes to converting from locations close to the basket. The team is ranked 64th in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 62.4% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. GA Southern also does an adequate job of creating chances for themselves off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the squad has a rating of 14.96 in potential points scored off of second chances (ranked 69th in the NCAA).

GA Southern is one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 34th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
