ANALYSIS:
This website places Baylor in the top 25% of all NCAA college basketball teams this year. They have a record of 19-15 and are ranked 35th overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 10 schools in the Big 12 (average ranking 38.9), they're currently ranked as our #5 team in the conference.

The primary strength for Baylor is defense. The team is ranked 33rd in efficiency, allowing fewer than 95 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Baylor is one of the very best in the land in overall defensive field goal percentage. The team ranks #17 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 39.9% of their total attempts from the floor. Baylor also does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 5.0% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 20th in the NCAA).

Baylor plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 53rd nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 110 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Baylor loves taking the mid-range two, far more so than most other teams. The club is ranked sixth in ratio of mid-range attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to take that in-between shot, they can certainly make it, too. Currently rated in the top-75 in mid-range shooting percentage, they make roughly 40.3% of their attempts from that distance vs. AO. Baylor also does an outstanding job finishing any scoring chances they obtain from offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 10.6% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked seventh nationally), and with a rating of 19.44, they're 18th in potential points scored off of the offensive glass as well. Baylor is lastly one of the nation's most effective teams finishing close to the iron. The team is ranked 15th in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 67.4% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. The squad likewise lands in the top-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage and makes good on about 47.4% of their total attempts vs. AO.

On the road, Baylor performs noticeably worse than they do at home. The team is currently ranked 335th in the country in the away-from-home metric we track.
