ANALYSIS: They're far from the worst of the worst, but Fairfield should not be a terribly frightening opponent for most clubs. They have a record of 16-15 and are ranked 220th overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 11 schools in the MAAC (average ranking 203.1), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference.
Fairfield sports an offensive attack that is mediocre at best. Rated at #238 in offensive efficiency, they score about 97 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Fairfield does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 20.47 vs. AO, they are sixth from the bottom in the overall rankings for that category. Fairfield also does a fairly poor job cleaning the offensive glass. Against AO, the ball-club has a rating of 10.64 in potential points scored off of second chances (326th nationally), and they convert just 5.2% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 304th) as well.
Fairfield doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 103 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #189 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Fairfield could do a better job to deny opponents chances to score off of the offensive glass. The club has a rating of 15.98 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (272nd nationally).
