"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;As part of its preview of the 2015 NCAA men\u2019s basketball tournament, SI.com is taking a look at all 68 teams in the field.&amp;nbsp;RPI&amp;nbsp;and SOS data from&amp;nbsp;realtimerpi.com. Adjusted offense and defense are from&amp;nbsp;kenpom.com&amp;nbsp;and measure the number of points scored and allowed per 100 possessions, and the team\u2019s national rank. All stats are through Monday, March 16.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Record:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;24-9 (12-6 Big South)\r\n&lt;strong&gt;RPI/SOS:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;124/301\r\n&lt;strong&gt;Adjusted offensive/defensive efficiency:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;103.6 (140th)/102.2 (165th)\r\n&lt;strong&gt;Seed:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;West No. 16\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Impact player:&lt;/strong&gt; Warren Gillis, senior, guard. 13.1 ppg, 3.2 apg, 101.5 offensive rating\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u200B&lt;strong&gt;The Case For: &lt;/strong&gt;The Chanticleers will be a low seed with a high degree of familiarity with the NCAA tournament, making their second straight appearance. And they actually had a halftime lead on No. 1 seed Virginia last March, suggesting that coach Cliff Ellis can effectively flush any sense of intimidation or inferiority from his crew.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nor is this a team driven by one superlative, small-conference star. Four players average in double figures, and it has seven players with usage rates between 16.8% and 24.3%. That should prevent&amp;nbsp;Coastal Carolina from flopping because things go bad for one guy, and it should present a challenge to a swaggering higher seed, which will have to pay heed to multiple options on the offensive end. And the Chanticleers can pound the boards; they posted 440 offensive rebounds by the end of the Big South tournament, which placed them in the top 20 nationally. Their rebound percentage (38%) was actually better than Kentucky\u2019s. They are a balanced crew with NCAA tournament experience that can do the little things needed to win. That makes them a threat.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Enter our Bracket Challenge for your chance to win $1 million&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Case Against:&lt;/strong&gt; The Chanticleers were only 1-2 against the major-conference competition it faced this season, and the win was a four-point victory over a very bad, very rebuilding Auburn team. They\u2019re not particularly elite on either side of the ball\u2014137th in offensive efficiency, 164th in defensive efficiency. They hit 35.4% from three-point range, good for a middling 117th nationally, and they don\u2019t seem to move the ball a ton, assisting on just 46.5% of their baskets, which puts them in the bottom third of Division 1.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nor do they create a lot of havoc, forcing opponents into turnovers 17.8% of the time, good for 84th nationally. In other words, there isn\u2019t one &lt;em&gt;thing&lt;/em&gt; that Coastal Carolina does that would be foreign or particularly frustrating to a big-conference opponent. And though they are a strong rebounding outfit, the Chanticleers don\u2019t deploy anyone taller than 6\u20197\u201D in their regular rotation, so matchups could be a problem on the defensive end.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SI prediction:&lt;/strong&gt; Lose in the Round of 64 to Wisconsin\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
