ANALYSIS: While this site doesn't quite consider them to be in the national title hunt, Richmond has the potential to be a formidable opponent for many in Division I. They have a record of 22-13 and are ranked 84th overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 14 schools in the A-10 (average ranking 124.5), they're currently ranked as our #6 team in the conference.
The primary strength for Richmond this year is offense. The team is ranked 74th in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 107 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Richmond is an excellent shooting team, capable of converting from multiple locations on the court and ranking in the top-50 in three of our four primary field goal categories. They are most proficient from two-point range, making good on 42.3% of their mid-range jumpers (sixth in the nation), 67.6% of their near-proximity chances (17th), and 47.7% of their total shots from the field (41st) vs. AO. Richmond will also likely shoot a fair share of three-pointers each contest. The team ranks 68th in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. If Richmond does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad only has a rating of 10.34 vs. AO in potential points off of second chances, which ranks 20th-worst in college hoops.
Richmond plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 117th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 100 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Richmond owns a pretty good track record against teams that shoot the three. They rank 55th in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 32.8% of their attempts from afar. If Richmond does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's issues trying to stop opponents from obtaining and converting second-chance opportunities via offensive rebounds. The squad has a defensive second-chance conversion percentage of 9.1% vs. AO, which ranks 16th-worst in the nation.
Richmond has been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 317th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most. When playing on the road, Richmond has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked tenth in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.

Against foes that have a defensive near-proximity field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 54.89%, Richmond performs above their norm 36% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 80% of the time.
When facing teams that are more proficient at draining the mid-range shot, Richmond often performs better than normal. Richmond is more efficient than usual 60% of the time when facing teams that have an offensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 34.76%.
