ANALYSIS: As an average to slightly above-average foe, Lehigh should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. Carrying a record of 20-11, they are currently rated #164 overall (out of 353) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the Patriot League (average ranking 211.8), they're currently ranked as our #3 team in the conference.
Lehigh has a reasonably potent offensive attack. Occupying the #100 slot in our offensive efficiency rankings, they will score about 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Lehigh is one of the most accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They're ranked second nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 40.6% of their attempts from there vs. AO. Lehigh is also deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 77.9% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked seventh nationally in free throw percentage. Lehigh is lastly superb at converting jumpers in between the three-point stripe and the low post. The squad is ranked 11th nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 41.6% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO. If Lehigh does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad only has a rating of 9.58 vs. AO in potential points off of second chances, which ranks tenth-worst in college hoops.
Unfortunately, Lehigh is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 272nd in defensive efficiency, allowing about 108 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Lehigh allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked 332nd in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 87.46 vs. AO.
Lehigh has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 310th in the country in positive momentum. Lehigh is also one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked fifth in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
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:
Lehigh is typically worse vs. teams that are typically efficient on offense. Against foes that have an offensive efficiency rating vs. AO greater than 102.58, Lehigh performs above their norm 11% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 68% of the time.
When facing teams that convert well from outside the arc, Lehigh often performs worse than normal. Lehigh is more efficient than usual 17% of the time when facing teams that have an offensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 34.29%. In their other contests, Lehigh performs better than the norm 74% of the time.
Lehigh does better vs. clubs that have trouble defending the mid-range shot. When playing squads that have a defensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 37.46%, Lehigh performs above average 90% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 33% of the time.
