ANALYSIS:
While not an atrocious team by any means, Minnesota is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. They have a record of 9-22 and are ranked 233rd overall (out of 363) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the worst team (out of 14) in the Big Ten (average ranking 56.1).

Offensively, Minnesota finds itself in the lower half of the rankings. The team is rated 246th in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 100 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Minnesota has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 60.0% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #363 overall in free throw percentage. If Minnesota does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to convert efficiently from the inside. The squad makes 64.3% of their near-proximity field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks 36th in the country.

Minnesota doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 104 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #211 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Minnesota allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked third from the bottom in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 90.53 vs. AO. Minnesota also does a pretty inadequate job to provide chances for themselves to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked #335 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.66 vs. AO. If Minnesota does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success preventing opponents from getting to the free throw line. The team has a defensive free throw attempt rate of 21.11 vs. AO, which ranks 31st-best in the country.

Minnesota has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #39 ranking in positive momentum. Minnesota has also been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked 353rd overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict. When playing on the road, Minnesota has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 14th in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
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:
When facing teams that are likely to allow more second chances off of offensive rebounds, Minnesota often performs worse than normal. Minnesota is more efficient than usual 43% of the time when facing teams that have a defensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 12.55. In their other contests, Minnesota performs better than the norm 80% of the time.
