ANALYSIS: Per this website's calculations, Colgate is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. Ranked 118th overall (out of 363) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 26-9. Of the 10 schools in the Patriot League (average ranking 265.7), they're currently ranked as the best team in the conference.
Colgate has a reasonably potent offensive attack. Occupying the #60 slot in our offensive efficiency rankings, they will score about 110 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Colgate is one of the most accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They're ranked fifth nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 38.9% of their attempts from there vs. AO. The team likewise falls in the top-10 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting about 48.9% of their attempts vs. AO. Colgate will also routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is 25th in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to get to the inside, they are undoubtedly capable of making you pay. Presently rated in the top-100 in near-proximity shooting percentage, they make roughly 62.6% of their attempts from short-distance vs. AO. If Colgate does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's poor shooting at the line. The squad makes just 66.9% of their free throw attempts, which ranks 43rd-worst in Division I.
The defense for Colgate, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 209th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 104 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Colgate has done a lackluster job this year when defending the mid-range shot. The squad is ranked 327th nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 41.5% of their attempts from those in-between spots on the floor. Making matters worse, AO will take advantage of that weakness and put up mid-range shots in abundance. Of AO's total field goals, a huge portion of them (33.3%) will be from those in-between locations. If Colgate does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success preventing opponents from getting to the free throw line. The team has a defensive free throw attempt rate of 19.83 vs. AO, which ranks 13th-best in the country.
Colgate is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 15th 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.
