ANALYSIS:
When you talk about the elite teams in college basketball this year, Wichita State most definitely is in the conversation. Carrying a record of 31-5, they are currently rated #8 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the MVC (average ranking 146.9), they're currently ranked as the best team in the conference.

The Wichita State defense will be extremely problematic for most opposing offenses. Allowing about 89 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, the club is ranked ninth overall in defensive efficiency. Wichita State will put a good dent in the shooting percentages of several opponents, considering the team ranks in the top-50 in each of the four major defensive shooting categories. They allow AO to make just 30.9% of their three-pointers (15th in the nation), 32.7% of their mid-range shots (33rd), 51.2% of their near-proximity attempts (ninth), and 37.7% of their total shots from the field (third). Wichita State also does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 4.5% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 13th in the NCAA), and with a rating of 12.33, they're 28th in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well.

Wichita State plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 18th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 116 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Wichita State is one of the most accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They're ranked seventh nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 41.0% of their attempts from there vs. AO. The team likewise falls in the top-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting about 47.6% of their attempts vs. AO. Wichita State also does a really good job to acquire opportunities from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 31.82 vs. AO, they are ranked 34th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. In addition, the team is in the top-50 in free throw shooting, converting a solid 74.8% of their attempts.

Wichita State has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked fifth from the bottom overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict. On the road, Wichita State performs noticeably worse than they do at home. The team is currently ranked fifth from the bottom in the country in the away-from-home metric we track.
