ANALYSIS:
If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, FAU likely fits the bill. Haslametrics has them ranked 281st overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 9-20. They are also ranked by this site as the #13 team (out of 14) in Conference USA (average ranking 186.1).

Offense is not the strong suit when it comes to FAU. The team is ranked 271st in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 95 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. FAU does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 23.22 vs. AO, they are 338th in the overall rankings for that category.

FAU doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 106 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #267 in the nation in defensive efficiency. FAU performs really badly when attempting to stop opponents from making mid-range jumpers. The squad is ranked 341st nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 41.1% 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 (41.3%) will be from those in-between locations. FAU also allows opponents' field goal percentages to get far too high. The ball-club ranks #316 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 46.7% of their total attempts from the floor. If FAU does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their ability to hinder opponents from sinking threes. AO will convert only 31.7% of their three-point attempts, and the team ranks 40th-best in the NCAA in that category because of it.

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 playing teams that are typically efficient on offense, FAU usually performs better than average. FAU is more efficient than normal 80% of the time when facing clubs that have an offensive efficiency rating vs. AO greater than 97.45. In all other contests, FAU performs better than average 25% of the time.
	FAU is typically better vs. teams that allow a greater number of field goal opportunities. Against foes that have a defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO greater than 83.64, FAU performs above their norm 88% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 42% of the time.
	When facing teams that do not defend well on the perimeter, FAU often performs worse than normal. FAU is more efficient than usual 42% of the time when facing teams that have a defensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 33.62%. In their other contests, FAU performs better than the norm 88% of the time.
