ANALYSIS:
If you see Houston Baptist on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. Ranked 222nd overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 17-14. Of the 13 schools in the Southland (average ranking 265.5), they're currently ranked as our #3 team in the conference.

Houston Baptist does not provide much of a challenge on defense. They are ranked at #286 in efficiency on that end of the court and give up about 108 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Houston Baptist hasn't done terribly well defending the mid-range jumper. The squad is ranked 283rd nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 39.0% of their attempts from those in-between spots on the floor.

Even though the team ranks considerably higher in offensive efficiency, Houston Baptist isn't a powerhouse on that end of the floor either. Scoring roughly 101 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #176 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Houston Baptist has some difficulty protecting the ball efficiently when in possession, which leads to some quick and easy baskets for the opposition. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 12.76, which ranks 309th in D1. If Houston Baptist does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's knack for obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 19.38 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks ninth in all of college hoops.

When playing on the road, Houston Baptist performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 307th in our site's away-from-home metric.
