ANALYSIS: URI has a fairly solid squad that likely falls within the top quartile of all teams in college basketball this year. Ranked 44th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 25-10. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of 14) in the A-10 (average ranking 124.5).
The primary strength for URI is defense. The team is ranked 40th in efficiency, allowing fewer than 94 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. URI will put a good dent in the shooting percentages of several opponents, considering the team ranks in the top-50 in each of the four major defensive shooting categories. Defending the long-ball is their strength (allowing 30.3% shooting from three vs. AO, tenth-best in the nation), but the team also harasses AO into converting just 51.8% of their near-proximity attempts (21st), 33.1% of their mid-range chances (45th), and 40.1% of their total shots from the field (33rd). URI also has been doing fairly decent work to prevent opponents from getting off shots from the field. The club is ranked 63rd in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 78.96 vs. AO. If URI does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's tendency to send opponents to the line too much by fouling. The squad has a rating of 33.37 in defensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 16th-worst in the country.
URI plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 50th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 109 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. URI 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 8.04, which ranks #14 in the country. URI also does a really good job to acquire opportunities from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 32.10 vs. AO, they are ranked 27th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. Unfortunately, they don't convert a ton of their free throws and make just 66.5% of their attempts.
URI has been playing some of its most efficient basketball of the season recently and is presently ranked fourth in positive momentum. URI has also been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 307th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most. When playing on the road, URI has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked fourth in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
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:
When facing teams that tend to get off more shots, URI often performs better than normal. URI is more efficient than usual 69% of the time when facing teams that have an offensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO greater than 82.63. In their other contests, URI performs better than the norm 23% of the time.
URI does better vs. clubs that are more proficient at draining the mid-range shot. When playing squads that have an offensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 38.49%, URI performs above average 62% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 27% of the time.
