ANALYSIS:
While not an atrocious team by any means, Loyola Marymount is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. They are ranked #224 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 14-17. They are also ranked by this site as the #9 team (out of 10) in the WCC (average ranking 151.0).

Loyola Marymount does not provide much of a challenge on defense. They are ranked at #254 in efficiency on that end of the court and give up about 106 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Loyola Marymount does a very lackluster job preventing opponents from draining threes. They rank 321st nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 38.1% of their attempts from afar. If Loyola Marymount does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their ability to limit the number of shot attempts by the opposition. The team has a defensive field goal attempt rate of 78.57 vs. AO, which ranks 47th-best in college basketball.

Loyola Marymount doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 99 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #211 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Loyola Marymount does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 22.78 vs. AO, they are 341st in the overall rankings for that category. If Loyola Marymount does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to successfully get off shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of 85.58 vs. AO, which ranks #36 in college basketball.

On the road, Loyola Marymount performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 38th in our away-from-home metric.
