ANALYSIS:
New Mexico St. is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. They are ranked #93 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 28-6. They are also ranked by this site as the best team (out of eight) in the WAC (average ranking 208.0).

New Mexico St. has a reasonably potent offensive attack. Occupying the #72 slot in our offensive efficiency rankings, they will score about 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. New Mexico St. does a really good job to acquire opportunities from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 31.22 vs. AO, they are ranked 50th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 70.9%. New Mexico St. also does an adequate job of creating chances for themselves off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the squad has a rating of 16.81 in potential points scored off of second chances (ranked 57th in the NCAA).

New Mexico St. is also a fairly decent team on the defensive end of the court. The team ranks 128th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 100 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. New Mexico St. has done a very good job to prevent opponents from draining threes this year. They rank 42nd in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 32.2% of their attempts from afar. For this reason, AO takes nowhere near as many threes as they typically would -- just 32.7% of AO's field goal attempts will be from downtown. If New Mexico St. does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's difficulties stopping opponents from obtaining second-chance opportunities via offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 16.78 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 42nd-worst in college hoops.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:

Against foes that have a defensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 14.60, New Mexico St. performs above their norm 70% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 27% of the time.
