ANALYSIS: If you see Fairfield on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. Haslametrics has them ranked 223rd overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 19-14. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of 11) in the MAAC (average ranking 215.2).
Fairfield does not provide much of a challenge on defense. They are ranked at #253 in efficiency on that end of the court and give up about 106 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Fairfield is 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 9.3% of all second-chance opportunities (331st nationally).
Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, Fairfield still isn't one of the more capable offensive teams in college hoops. Scoring roughly 100 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #185 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Fairfield does a terrible job to take advantage of scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 4.0% of all second-chance opportunities (340th nationally), and with a rating of 10.65, they're 332nd in potential points scored off of the offensive boards as well. Fairfield also struggles to draw fouls and earn opportunities at the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 24.14 vs. AO, they are 325th in the overall rankings for that category.
Fairfield 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. When playing on the road, Fairfield has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 21st in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
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:
When facing teams that are likely to allow more second chances off of offensive rebounds, Fairfield often performs worse than normal. Fairfield is more efficient than usual 27% of the time when facing teams that have a defensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 16.01. In their other contests, Fairfield performs better than the norm 64% of the time.
