ANALYSIS:
They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Richmond, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Haslametrics has them ranked 170th overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 12-20. They are also ranked by this site as the #9 team (out of 14) in the A-10 (average ranking 152.0).

If there is a strength for Richmond this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 142nd in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 102 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Richmond has the potential to make you pay if you let them get close to the rim. The team is ranked 30th in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 65.8% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO.

Richmond doesn't perform as well defensively as they do offensively. The team is ranked 213th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 105 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Richmond is one of the very worst teams in the game when it comes to preventing opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 9.1% of all second-chance opportunities (333rd nationally). Richmond has also done a pretty poor job this season to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. The team is ranked 322nd in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 65.6% of their attempts from close-up. If Richmond does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their willingness to take risks in order to score fast points off of steals. The team has a solid rating of 14.38 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 13th-best in college basketball.

Richmond has been playing some of its most efficient basketball of the season recently and is presently ranked ninth in positive momentum. When playing on the road, Richmond has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 14th in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
