ANALYSIS:
They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Colgate, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Haslametrics has them ranked 161st overall (out of 353) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 25-9. They are also ranked by this site as the best team (out of 10) in the Patriot League (average ranking 253.8).

If there is a strength for Colgate this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 109th in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 102 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Colgate lives and dies by the three-ball and will launch from long-distance early and often. The team ranks 12th in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to shoot from long, they have the ability to punish you for it, too. Ranked in the top-75 in three-point shooting percentage, they make approximately 35.1% of their three-point attempts vs. AO. Colgate also does a pretty decent job in most cases to maximize opportunities to score on offense. The team is ranked 66th in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 84.21 vs. AO. As far as making those field goal attempts goes, the team is somewhat middle-of-the-road, converting about 43.0% of them vs. AO. If Colgate does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's inability to drain mid-range jumpers. The squad makes just 33.3% of their mid-range field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks 37th-worst in the nation.

Colgate doesn't perform as well defensively as they do offensively. The team is ranked 184th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 100 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Colgate allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked 329th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 86.05 vs. AO. If Colgate does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their ability to prevent opponents from converting second-chance opportunities via offensive rebounds. The team has a defensive second-chance conversion percentage of 3.8% vs. AO, which ranks 40th-best in the nation.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
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:
Colgate performs worse against squads that have trouble defending the mid-range shot. When facing teams that have a defensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 40.09%, Colgate is more efficient than normal 29% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 63% of the time.
