ANALYSIS: There aren't many teams in the country that have been as strong as Kansas this year. Carrying a record of 28-8, they are currently rated #9 overall (out of 363) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the Big 12 (average ranking 28.4), they're currently ranked as our #2 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.792 (which ranks first nationally), Kansas is one of the more battle-tested teams in the college game.
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 11th overall in defensive efficiency. Kansas will do a number on many an opponent's shooting percentage, as the team ranks in the top-25 in three of our four major defensive field goal categories. They'll inflict the most harm on the outside, allowing AO to convert just 30.1% of their three-pointers (17th in the nation), 32.1% of their mid-range chances (eighth), and 39.2% of their total shots from the field (15th). Kansas also thrives on scoring fast and easy points off of steals. They're ranked 24th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.84.
Kansas plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 26th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 113 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Kansas is an excellent shooting team, capable of converting from multiple locations on the court and ranking in the top-50 in three of our four primary field goal categories. They convert 36.7% of their three-pointers (41st in the nation), 64.1% of their near-proximity attempts (43rd), and 48.4% of their total shots from the field (12th) vs. AO. Kansas also does a pretty good job of protecting the ball when they have possession and not allowing quick and easy baskets off of their own turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 8.66, which ranks #26 in the country.
Kansas is one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 34th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
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 facing teams that are likely to allow more second chances off of offensive rebounds, Kansas often performs better than normal. Kansas is more efficient than usual 63% of the time when facing teams that have a defensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 12.07. In their other contests, Kansas performs better than the norm 25% of the time.
