ANALYSIS:
Texas has a fairly solid squad that likely falls within the top quartile of all teams in college basketball this year. Carrying a record of 19-12, they are currently rated #69 overall (out of 353) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the Big 12 (average ranking 46.5), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference.

Texas will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 28th in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 91 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Texas has done a really good job this year to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. They are ranked 41st in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 53.9% of their attempts from close-up. Texas has also had some success this season preventing opponents from converting many of their overall field goal attempts. The team ranks #65 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 41.0% of their total attempts from the floor.

Though they're not quite as efficient offensively as they are defensively, Texas still does OK when they have possession of the ball. The team ranks 135th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 101 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Texas has the potential to make you pay if you let them get close to the rim. The team is ranked 27th in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 64.8% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. However, even with their high conversion rate on near-proximity attempts, this team usually settles for shots from longer distances. Only about 31.1% of their total attempts vs. AO are from the inside. Texas also has one of the better squads in the college game when it comes to maximizing opportunities to score. The team is ranked 41st in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 84.92 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 44.5% of their total attempts vs. AO. If Texas does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's inability to get to the free throw line. The squad has a free throw attempt rate of only 20.05 vs. AO, which ranks 18th-worst in the country.

Texas has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #44 ranking in positive momentum.

Texas does worse vs. clubs that are likely to allow more second chances off of offensive rebounds. When playing squads that have a defensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 12.23, Texas performs above average 22% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 68% of the time.
