ANALYSIS:
If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, Canisius likely fits the bill. They have a record of 11-21 and are ranked 270th overall (out of 358) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 11 schools in the MAAC (average ranking 203.3), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference.

Canisius is not one of the better offensive teams you will find. They are rated #279 in efficiency on that end of the court and only score about 95 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Canisius has a hard time converting field goals attempts on offense. The team is rated #326 in the country in field goal percentage, making good on a meager 39.9% of their attempts vs. AO. Canisius is also one of the more deficient teams in the nation as it pertains to scoring off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 3.4% of all second-chance opportunities (324th nationally).

Canisius doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 104 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #239 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Canisius fares terribly when attempting to stop opponents from converting from the inside. The team is ranked 348th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 65.1% of their attempts from close-up. And with such little resistance, AO will merrily cut, slash, and drive right to the hoop as often as possible. Of AO's total field goals, a big portion of them (38.5%) will be from short-distance. Canisius also allows opponents' field goal percentages to get far too high. The ball-club ranks #312 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 46.6% of their total attempts from the floor. If Canisius does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success stopping opponents from earning second-chance opportunities via offensive boards. The team has a rating of 10.67 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 37th-best in college hoops.

Canisius is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 21st in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
