ANALYSIS:
As an average to slightly above-average foe, Loyola-Chicago should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. Their record this season is 18-14, and the club is ranked 89th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 10) in the MVC (average ranking 146.9).

Loyola-Chicago succeeds primarily through their offense. They are ranked 90th in offensive efficiency and score in excess of 105 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Loyola-Chicago 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 can be considered sharpshooters out on the perimeter, converting 38.5% of their three-pointers (35th in the nation), 43.4% of their mid-range chances (third), and 48.5% of their total shots from the field (24th) vs. AO. Loyola-Chicago 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 8.87, which ranks #32 in the country. If Loyola-Chicago 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 8.33 vs. AO in potential points off of second chances, which ranks fourth-worst in college hoops.

Loyola-Chicago plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 126th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 100 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Loyola-Chicago makes a point to avoid fouls and prevent opponents from getting to the free throw line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 24.75 vs. AO, they are currently rated 71st in the country in that category. Loyola-Chicago also has been doing fairly decent work to prevent opponents from getting off shots from the field. The club is ranked 75th in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 79.17 vs. AO.
