ANALYSIS:
When listing some of the better squads you will find in NCAA basketball this year, one can definitely make a case for Baylor. Ranked 18th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 24-10. Of the 10 schools in the Big 12 (average ranking 42.3), they're currently ranked as our #4 team in the conference. Sporting a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.736 (the seventh-highest in the country), Baylor has prepared themselves by challenging some of the best teams in the college game.

Baylor will suffocate most opponents with its stifling defense. Allowing roughly 90 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, this squad is rated #16 in defensive efficiency. Baylor does an outstanding job shutting down the opposition from behind the arc. They rank 13th in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 30.2% of their attempts from afar. Baylor is also a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 23.58 vs. AO, they are currently rated 19th in the country in that category. Baylor lastly thrives on scoring fast and easy points off of steals. They're ranked 20th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.74.

Baylor plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 20th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 112 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Baylor appears to be one of the top-notch offensive rebounding teams you will find this year. Against AO, the squad has a rating of 22.05 in potential points scored off of second chances (ranked fourth in the NCAA), and they convert 9.0% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 16th) as well. Baylor is also one of the very best when it comes to maximizing field goal opportunities. The team is ranked eighth in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 87.90 vs. AO. And when they do shoot, they make a fair portion of their shots. Ranked in the top-100 in field goal shooting percentage, the squad converts about 44.7% of their total attempts vs. AO.
