ANALYSIS: A top-25 caliber team, Notre Dame will almost certainly present a challenging task for any Division I opponent. Ranked 11th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 32-6. Of the 15 schools in the ACC (average ranking 59.1), they're currently ranked as our #4 team in the conference.
Notre Dame is undoubtedly one of the best in the business on offense. The team is rated third in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 121 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Notre Dame is one of the most lethal teams in the country when it comes to shooting the basketball, ranking in the top-25 in each of our four major field goal categories. They make 39.9% of their three-pointers (tenth in the nation), 44.0% of their mid-range jumpers (first), 67.4% of their near-proximity chances (11th), and 51.8% of their total shots from the field (first) vs. AO. Notre Dame also allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 8.48, which ranks #12 in the country. Notre Dame is lastly deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 75.2% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 22nd nationally in free throw percentage. Moreover, they get ample opportunity to beat you from the line, as the ball-club falls in the top-100 in free throw attempt rate with a rating of 30.98 vs. AO.
Notre Dame is also a fairly decent team on the defensive end of the court. The team ranks 96th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 97 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Notre Dame is a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 21.19 vs. AO, they are currently rated sixth in the country in that category. Notre Dame also does a pretty solid job providing themselves chances to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked 36th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.01. If Notre Dame does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's propensity to allow too many shot attempts per trip. The squad has a rating of 87.46 in defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 12th-worst in college basketball.
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:
Notre Dame is typically better vs. teams that allow more chances at the line. Against foes that have a defensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO greater than 25.40, Notre Dame performs above their norm 62% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 25% of the time.
