ANALYSIS:
They're far from the worst of the worst, but Canisius should not be a terribly frightening opponent for most clubs. Haslametrics has them ranked 187th overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 18-16. They are also ranked by this site as the #5 team (out of 11) in the MAAC (average ranking 203.1).

If there is a strength for Canisius this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 118th in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 103 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Canisius will likely shoot a fair share of three-pointers each contest. The team ranks 52nd 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 36.5% from beyond the arc vs. AO. If Canisius does have a 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 23.69 vs. AO, which ranks 42nd-worst in the country.

Unfortunately, Canisius is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 279th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 108 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Canisius allows the opposition far too many easy shots from the floor and ranks in the bottom-25 in three of our four major defensive field goal shooting categories. They are exceptionally deficient defending inside the three-point line, allowing AO to make good on 40.8% of their mid-range jumpers (329th in the nation), 67.4% of their near-proximity chances (332nd), and 49.6% of their total shots from the field (tenth from the bottom). Canisius is also one of the very worst teams in the game when it comes to preventing opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 9.0% of all second-chance opportunities (333rd nationally).

Canisius is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked fourth in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict. On the road, Canisius performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 33rd in our away-from-home metric.
