ANALYSIS:
This website places Richmond in the top 25% of all NCAA college basketball teams this year. Their record this season is 24-7, and the club is ranked 50th overall (out of 353) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. Of the 14 schools in the A-10 (average ranking 135.3), they're currently ranked as our #2 team in the conference.

Richmond will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 50th in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 92 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Richmond does an outstanding job shutting down the opposition from behind the arc. They rank 18th in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 29.8% of their attempts from afar. Richmond also thrives on scoring fast and easy points off of steals. They're ranked 22nd in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.65.

Richmond plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 52nd nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 106 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Richmond is deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 78.0% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 15th nationally in free throw percentage. Unfortunately, with a free throw attempt rate of just 22.58 vs. AO, they don't provide themselves a whole lot of opportunities at the foul line. Richmond also allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 8.45, which ranks #16 in the country. If Richmond does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining and converting second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a second-chance conversion percentage of just 3.6% vs. AO, which ranks 38th-worst in the nation.
