ANALYSIS:
They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but UMass, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Carrying a record of 17-15, they are currently rated #132 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #9 team (out of 14) in the A-10 (average ranking 120.8).

Based on their performances this year, UMass will likely find more success on defense than they will on offense. Allowing about 99 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #128 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. UMass does a pretty solid job providing themselves chances to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked 47th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 13.57. UMass has also been fairly decent in preventing teams from draining shots from between the three-point stripe and the low post. They're ranked 62nd in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 32.9% of their attempts from that distance.

UMass plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 142nd nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 101 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. UMass will routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is 17th in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to get to the inside, they are undoubtedly capable of making you pay. Presently rated in the top-100 in near-proximity shooting percentage, they make roughly 61.1% of their attempts from short-distance vs. AO. UMass also does a really good job to acquire opportunities from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 33.71 vs. AO, they are ranked 26th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 69.2%. If UMass does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's ability (or lack thereof) to sink threes. The squad converts just 31.1% of their three-point attempts vs. AO, which ranks 38th-worst in the nation.

UMass has definitely not been as efficient as of late compared to earlier in the season and, consequently, the team is nationally ranked 340th in positive momentum. UMass is also one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 29th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
