ANALYSIS: While not an atrocious team by any means, FAU is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. Carrying a record of 12-19, they are currently rated #224 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #10 team (out of 14) in Conference USA (average ranking 170.5).
Based on their performances this year, FAU will likely find more success on defense than they will on offense. Allowing about 101 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #134 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. FAU is one of the better teams when it comes to not allowing opponents to convert scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 5.3% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 37th in the NCAA), and with a rating of 12.55, they're 38th in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well.
Unfortunately, FAU is not even remotely close to being as good on offense as they are on defense. The team is ranked 306th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 94 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. FAU struggles to drain shots consistently from most spots on the floor, ranking in the bottom-50 in three of the four primary field goal shooting categories. They only convert 32.6% of their three-pointers (304th in the nation), 54.2% of their near-proximity attempts (311th), and 40.2% of their total shots from the field (327th) vs. AO. If FAU does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to successfully get off shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of 85.16 vs. AO, which ranks #42 in college basketball.
FAU has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #44 ranking in positive momentum.
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:
FAU does worse vs. clubs that convert well from the charity stripe. When playing squads that have an adjusted free throw percentage vs. AO greater than 67.65%, FAU performs above average 40% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 88% of the time.
FAU performs better against squads that allow more chances at the line. When facing teams that have a defensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO greater than 27.59, FAU is more efficient than normal 82% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 35% of the time.
When playing teams that do not defend well on the perimeter, FAU usually performs worse than average. FAU is more efficient than normal 27% of the time when facing clubs that have a defensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 35.74%. In all other contests, FAU performs better than average 71% of the time.
