ANALYSIS:
UCSB is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. They have a record of 23-9 and are ranked 135th overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of nine) in the Big West (average ranking 208.1).

UCSB succeeds primarily through their offense. They are ranked 80th in offensive efficiency and score in excess of 107 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. UCSB does a pretty good job of protecting the ball when they have possession and not allowing quick and easy baskets off of their own turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 9.08, which ranks #35 in the country. UCSB is also one of the more accurate teams in the college game when it comes to shooting the three. They're ranked 46th nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 38.3% of their attempts from there vs. AO.

The defense for UCSB, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 229th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 105 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. UCSB is extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #335 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.20 vs. AO. UCSB also allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked 329th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 86.18 vs. AO.
