ANALYSIS:
Akron 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. Ranked 115th overall (out of 363) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 22-11. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 12) in the MAC (average ranking 215.0).

Based on the data, Akron will likely find more success on offense than on defense. Scoring about 106 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #117 slot in the rankings for offensive efficiency. Akron allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 7.75, which ranks #9 in the country. Akron will also make a concerted effort to fire off quite a few three-pointers each game. The team ranks 50th 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 34.1% from beyond the arc vs. AO. If Akron does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining and converting second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a second-chance conversion percentage of just 3.9% vs. AO, which ranks 43rd-worst in the nation.

Akron plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 124th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 101 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Akron does a bang-up job preventing the opposition from draining jumpers in between the three-point line and the low post. They're ranked second in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 31.0% of their attempts from that distance. Akron also does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 10.24 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked sixth in the country).

Akron has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked third from the bottom overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict.
