ANALYSIS: If you see W. Illinois on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. Ranked 228th overall (out of 358) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 16-16. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of 10) in the Summit League (average ranking 228.5).
W. Illinois does not provide much of a challenge on defense. They are ranked at #260 in efficiency on that end of the court and give up about 105 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. W. Illinois has done a lackluster job this year when defending the mid-range shot. The squad is ranked 332nd nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 42.5% of their attempts from those in-between spots on the floor. Making matters worse, AO will take advantage of that weakness and put up mid-range shots in abundance. Of AO's total field goals, a huge portion of them (34.7%) will be from those in-between locations. W. Illinois also allows opponents' field goal percentages to get far too high. The ball-club ranks #327 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 47.0% of their total attempts from the floor.
W. Illinois doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 99 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #211 in the nation in offensive efficiency. W. Illinois fares worse than most teams when it comes to converting from locations close to the hoop. The team is ranked 285th in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 55.1% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. If W. Illinois does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to successfully hit from mid-range locations on the court. The team makes 41.3% of their in-between field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks 40th in the NCAA.
W. Illinois has been playing some of their worst basketball of the season as of late, and they're presently ranked last in positive momentum because of it.
