ANALYSIS: Belmont has a fairly solid squad that likely falls within the top quartile of all teams in college basketball this year. They are ranked #51 (out of 353) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 27-6. Of the 12 schools in the OVC (average ranking 224.8), they're currently ranked as our #2 team in the conference.
Belmont showcases one of the country's most efficient offenses. Racking up about 114 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO and promoting a very up-tempo style of play (the 23rd-fastest pace in D1), the team is nationally rated 25th in efficiency on that end of the floor. Belmont is one of the best field goal shooting teams that opposing defenses will have the displeasure of facing this season. The squad is ranked 18th in the country in field goal percentage, making approximately 48.2% of their attempts vs. AO. Belmont also has the potential to make you pay if you let them get close to the rim. The team is ranked 29th in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 65.3% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. The team will attempt a fair amount of field goals from up-close, too. Approximately 41.2% of their attempts vs. AO are taken from near-proximity locations, which puts the team in the top-50 in that category nationally.
Belmont is also a fairly decent team on the defensive end of the court. The team ranks 89th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 99 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Belmont does a pretty solid job avoiding careless fouls and minimizing opponents' opportunities from the free throw line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 22.70 vs. AO, they are currently rated 44th in the country in that category. Belmont has also been pretty good preventing teams from hitting shots in the paint. They are ranked 52nd in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 55.4% of their attempts from close-up. If Belmont does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's troubles stopping opponents from converting mid-range jumpers. AO will make good on 40.5% of their mid-range field goal attempts, and the squad ranks 25th-worst in that category because of it.
Belmont has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #40 ranking in positive momentum. When playing on the road, Belmont has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked seventh in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
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:
Belmont does better vs. clubs that allow opponents to shoot well from the field. When playing squads that have a defensive field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 45.87%, Belmont performs above average 62% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 26% of the time.
