ANALYSIS:
Texas is one of the teams in the upper echelon of college basketball this year. Carrying a record of 19-8, they are currently rated #22 overall (out of 357) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the Big 12 (average ranking 59.8), they're currently ranked as our #3 team in the conference.

Texas is one of the most menacing defensive teams in the country. Ranked 22nd in defensive efficiency, they will allow fewer than 91 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Texas does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 9.73 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 12th in the country). Texas will also take a bite out of many opponents' shooting percentages, based on the fact that the team ranks in the top-50 in three of our four primary defensive field goal categories. They'll inflict the most harm on the outside, allowing AO to convert just 31.4% of their three-pointers (50th in the nation), 33.9% of their mid-range chances (38th), and 39.9% of their total shots from the field (34th).

Texas plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 28th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 111 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Texas is one of the most accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They're ranked 25th nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 37.6% of their attempts from there vs. AO. The team likewise falls in the top-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting about 47.3% of their attempts vs. AO. Texas also 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 9.12, which ranks #50 in the country.
