ANALYSIS:
They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Columbia, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Carrying a record of 13-15, they are currently rated #171 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of eight) in the Ivy League (average ranking 183.0).

If there is a strength for Columbia this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. While favoring a more deliberate, half-court style of play (the 14th-slowest pace in D1), the team is rated 151st in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 100 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Columbia lives and dies by the three-ball and will launch from long-distance early and often. The team ranks fourth in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. When it comes to actually making their three-point attempts, the squad shoots a so-so 35.4% from beyond the arc vs. AO. Columbia also does a pretty solid job of scoring points off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 7.8% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 68th nationally). If Columbia does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's inability to get to the free throw line. The squad has a free throw attempt rate of only 21.77 vs. AO, which ranks third-worst in the country.

Columbia doesn't perform as well defensively as they do offensively. The team is ranked 211th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 103 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Columbia is extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #344 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.63 vs. AO. Columbia also struggles on occasion to deny opponents opportunities to shoot from the floor. The team is ranked 304th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 85.15 vs. AO. If Columbia does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success stopping opponents from converting from locations near the basket. AO will convert just 54.1% of their near-proximity field goal attempts, and the team ranks 49th-best in the country in that category as a result.

Columbia has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked last overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict. When playing on the road, Columbia has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 22nd in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
