ANALYSIS:
If you see Denver on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. Ranked 216th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 12-18. They are also ranked by this site as the #5 team (out of nine) in the Summit League (average ranking 213.2).

With an extremely deliberate pace (the third-slowest in D1), Denver will likely rely on their offense more than anything else to win games. The team is ranked 164th in offensive efficiency and scores more than 100 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Denver is deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 77.2% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked seventh nationally in free throw percentage. Though they typically convert their shots from the line, the downside is that they hardly ever manage to get there. The squad has a free throw attempt rate of 23.38 vs. AO (17th-worst in the nation). Denver also lives and dies by the three-ball and will launch from long-distance early and often. The team ranks 16th 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 36.9% of their three-point attempts vs. AO. If Denver does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad only has a rating of 7.79 vs. AO in potential points off of second chances, which ranks second-worst in college hoops.

The defense for Denver, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 280th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 106 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Denver is extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #343 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.72 vs. AO. Denver is also one of the very worst teams in the country in terms of overall defensive field goal percentage. The ball-club ranks #335 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 48.1% of their total attempts from the floor. Denver is lastly 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 8.9% of all second-chance opportunities (333rd nationally). If Denver does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their ability to limit the number of shot attempts by the opposition. The team has a defensive field goal attempt rate of 76.30 vs. AO, which ranks tenth-best in college basketball.

Denver has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked 327th overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict.
