ANALYSIS: A borderline top-25 caliber adversary, New Mexico will likely be a stiff test for any team in Division I. Haslametrics has them ranked 29th overall (out of 362) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 26-10. They are also ranked by this site as the best team (out of 11) in the MWC (average ranking 113.3).
Favoring a very up-tempo style of play (the 13th-fastest pace in D1), New Mexico has been a force on the defensive end of the court. The team is rated 21st in defensive efficiency and allows fewer than 96 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. New Mexico thrives on scoring fast and easy points off of steals. They're ranked tenth in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 16.85. New Mexico will also take a bite out of many opponents' shooting percentages, based on the fact that the team ranks in the top-50 in three of our four primary defensive field goal categories. They'll inflict the most harm on the outside, allowing AO to convert just 31.1% of their three-pointers (22nd in the nation), 34.6% of their mid-range chances (21st), and 40.8% of their total shots from the field (41st).
New Mexico plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 43rd nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 114 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. New Mexico does an outstanding job finishing any scoring chances they obtain from offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 8.6% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked seventh nationally), and with a rating of 17.82, they're 16th in potential points scored off of the offensive glass as well. New Mexico will also routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is eighth in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. As far as converting those near-proximity shots goes, the team shoots 59.2% vs. AO, which falls somewhere in the middle of the pack of the rankings in that category. New Mexico is lastly one of the very best when it comes to maximizing field goal opportunities. The team is ranked 14th in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 90.27 vs. AO. And when they do shoot, they make a fair portion of their shots. Ranked in the top-75 in field goal shooting percentage, the squad converts about 46.5% of their total attempts vs. AO.
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.

When facing teams that have a defensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 11.87, New Mexico is more efficient than normal 68% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 30% of the time.
When playing teams that are typically efficient on offense, New Mexico usually performs worse than average. New Mexico is more efficient than normal 39% of the time when facing clubs that have an offensive efficiency rating vs. AO greater than 108.68. In all other contests, New Mexico performs better than average 77% of the time.
