ANALYSIS:
A top-25 caliber team, Kansas will almost certainly present a challenging task for any Division I opponent. Carrying a record of 21-9, they are currently rated #25 overall (out of 357) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the Big 12 (average ranking 59.8), they're currently ranked as our #4 team in the conference.

The Kansas defense will be extremely problematic for most opposing offenses. Allowing about 90 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, the club is ranked 17th overall in defensive efficiency. Kansas does a bang-up job preventing the opposition from draining jumpers in between the three-point line and the low post. They're ranked tenth in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 31.8% of their attempts from that distance. Kansas also boasts one of the better overall defensive field goal percentages in the country. The team ranks #32 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 39.8% of their total attempts from the floor.

Kansas plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 48th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 108 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Kansas is one of the very best when it comes to maximizing field goal opportunities. The team is ranked 23rd in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 86.48 vs. AO. And when they do shoot, they make a fair portion of their shots. Ranked in the top-100 in field goal shooting percentage, the squad converts about 45.2% of their total attempts vs. AO. Kansas is also fairly competent protecting the ball on offense, which minimizes opportunities for the opponent to score quickly off of steals. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 9.43, which ranks #67 in the country.
