ANALYSIS:
A top-25 caliber adversary, Kansas will likely be a stiff test for any team in Division I. Ranked 13th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 27-9. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of 10) in the Big 12 (average ranking 42.3). Sporting a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.813 (the highest in the country), Kansas has prepared themselves by challenging some of the best teams in the college game.

Kansas will suffocate most opponents with its stifling defense. Allowing roughly 88 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, this squad is rated #8 in defensive efficiency. Kansas will put a good dent in the shooting percentages of several opponents, considering the team ranks in the top-50 in each of the four major defensive shooting categories. They allow AO to make just 30.1% of their three-pointers (11th in the nation), 31.6% of their mid-range shots (34th), 50.7% of their near-proximity attempts (ninth), and 37.4% of their total shots from the field (eighth). Kansas is also 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 5.0% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 28th in the NCAA).

Kansas plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 18th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 112 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Kansas does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 34.89 vs. AO, they are ranked 15th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. In addition, the team is in the top-100 in free throw shooting, converting a solid 72.3% of their attempts. Kansas is also one of the more accurate teams in the college game when it comes to shooting the three. They're ranked 28th nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 38.5% of their attempts from there vs. AO. Though they convert many of their threes, the team doesn't really shoot a ton of them. Only 29.8% of their total attempts vs. AO are from long-distance. The team likewise falls in the top-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting about 46.6% of their attempts vs. AO.
