ANALYSIS:
A top-25 caliber team, Loyola-Chicago will almost certainly present a challenging task for any Division I opponent. Carrying a record of 26-5, they are currently rated #15 overall (out of 357) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the MVC (average ranking 159.3), they're currently ranked as the best team in the conference.

Preferring a more deliberate, half-court style of play (the 13th-slowest pace in D1), Loyola-Chicago is one of the most menacing defensive teams in the country. Ranked eighth in defensive efficiency, they will allow fewer than 88 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Loyola-Chicago is a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 19.02 vs. AO, they are currently rated tenth in the country in that category. Loyola-Chicago also does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 10.04 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 20th in the country).

Loyola-Chicago plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 35th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 110 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Loyola-Chicago allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 7.70, which ranks #8 in the country. Loyola-Chicago is also one of the best field goal shooting teams that opposing defenses will have the displeasure of facing this season. The squad is ranked 17th in the country in field goal percentage, making approximately 48.4% of their attempts vs. AO.
