ANALYSIS:
This website places Xavier in the top 25% of all NCAA college basketball teams this year. They have a record of 24-14 and are ranked 38th overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #5 team (out of 10) in the Big East (average ranking 56.5). With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.784 (which ranks seventh nationally), Xavier is one of the more battle-tested teams in the college game.

The primary strength for Xavier this year is offense. The team is ranked 34th in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 112 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Xavier does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 34.03 vs. AO, they are ranked second in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 68.7%. Xavier will also routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is 16th in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. As far as converting those near-proximity shots goes, the team shoots 61.1% vs. AO, which falls somewhere in the middle of the pack of the rankings in that category.

Xavier plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 60th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 96 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Xavier does an outstanding job shutting down the opposition from behind the arc. They rank 20th in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 31.3% of their attempts from afar. Xavier also does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 12.18 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 25th in the country).

Xavier has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #42 ranking in positive momentum. When playing on the road, Xavier performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 310th in our site's away-from-home metric.
