ANALYSIS:
While not an atrocious team by any means, Loyola (MD) is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. Carrying a record of 16-17, they are currently rated #232 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the Patriot League (average ranking 216.7), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference.

Offense is not the strong suit when it comes to Loyola (MD). The team is ranked 275th in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 96 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Loyola (MD) is downright rotten when shooting the mid-range jumper. The team is ranked fourth from the bottom in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 29.7% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. Loyola (MD) also has some difficulty protecting the ball efficiently when in possession, which leads to some quick and easy baskets for the opposition. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 12.91, which ranks 318th in D1. If Loyola (MD) does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's knack for obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 17.05 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 45th in all of college hoops.

Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, Loyola (MD) still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 104 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #202 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Loyola (MD) has done a lackluster job this year when defending the mid-range shot. The squad is ranked 325th nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 40.5% of their attempts from those in-between spots on the floor.

Loyola (MD) is one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 39th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
