ANALYSIS: If you see Canisius on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. They have a record of 14-19 and are ranked 235th overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 11 schools in the MAAC (average ranking 215.2), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference.
If there is a strength for Canisius this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 128th in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 103 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Canisius will make a concerted effort to fire off quite a few three-pointers each game. The team ranks 38th 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 34.5% from beyond the arc vs. AO. Canisius also does a really good job converting from the free throw line. Making 74.0% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 43rd nationally in free throw percentage. If Canisius does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's troubles converting from the inside. The squad makes just 53.5% of their near-proximity field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks 40th-worst in Division I.
Unfortunately, Canisius is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 334th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 112 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Canisius is one of the very worst teams in the country in terms of overall defensive field goal percentage. The ball-club ranks #340 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 48.6% of their total attempts from the floor. Canisius also does an extremely poor job to deny the opposition behind the arc. They rank 330th nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 38.5% of their attempts from afar.
Canisius is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 18th in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
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.
