ANALYSIS: They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Drake, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Their record this season is 17-17, and the club is ranked 159th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. Of the 10 schools in the MVC (average ranking 135.8), they're currently ranked as our #8 team in the conference.
Based on the data, Drake will likely find more success on offense than on defense. Scoring about 103 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #151 slot in the rankings for offensive efficiency. Drake is deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 77.4% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 20th nationally in free throw percentage.
Drake plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 174th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 103 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Drake is a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 20.78 vs. AO, they are currently rated 20th in the country in that category. Drake also owns a pretty good track record against teams that shoot the three. They rank 57th in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 33.0% of their attempts from afar. If Drake does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's propensity to allow too many shot attempts per trip. The squad has a rating of 86.54 in defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 16th-worst in college basketball.
Drake is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 16th 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.
