ANALYSIS:
This site considers Villanova to be tops among the most elite of all the Division I basketball programs this year. Haslametrics has them ranked first overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 32-4. Of the 10 schools in the Big East (average ranking 56.5), they're obviously ranked as the best team in the conference.

Villanova is one of the very most competent offensive teams in the country. Ranked fourth in offensive efficiency, they'll rack up more than 120 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Villanova is an outstanding shooting team, capable of converting from a variety of locations on the floor and ranking in the top-50 in each of our four most noteworthy field goal categories. They make 38.4% of their three-pointers (39th in the nation), 42.8% of their mid-range jumpers (fifth), 69.7% of their near-proximity chances (fifth), and 50.4% of their total shots from the field (seventh) vs. AO. Villanova is also deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 78.8% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked sixth nationally in free throw percentage. Moreover, they get ample opportunity to beat you from the line, as the ball-club falls in the top-75 in free throw attempt rate with a rating of 30.10 vs. AO.

Compounding opponents' problems, Villanova is nearly as powerful on the defensive end of the floor as they are on the offensive side of things. The team ranks eighth nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 89 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Villanova is a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 17.70 vs. AO, they are currently rated first in the country in that category. Villanova also does an outstanding job shutting down the opposition from behind the arc. They rank second in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 28.7% of their attempts from afar. Villanova lastly thrives on scoring fast and easy points off of steals. They're ranked tenth in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 15.03.
