ANALYSIS: Despite what their win percentage might indicate, Xavier is a good team that can cause more than enough trouble for most opponents. Haslametrics has them ranked 62nd overall (out of 362) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 16-18. Of the 11 schools in the Big East (average ranking 73.5), they're currently ranked as our #9 team in the conference. Sporting a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.717 (the 15th-highest in the country), Xavier has prepared themselves by challenging some of the best teams in the college game.
The primary strength for Xavier is defense. The team is ranked 48th in efficiency, allowing fewer than 99 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Xavier 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. Though they're most successful defending the mid-range jumper (allowing 35.1% shooting in that category vs. AO, 31st in the country), the team also hassles AO into converting just 32.1% of their three-pointers (49th), 54.1% of their near-proximity chances (50th), and 41.2% of their total shots from the field (48th).
Xavier plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 71st nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 112 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Xavier does an adequate job of creating chances for themselves off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the squad has a rating of 16.15 in potential points scored off of second chances (ranked 58th in the NCAA). Xavier also acquires a fair amount of chances from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 29.37 vs. AO, they are ranked 63rd in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. In addition, the team is in the top-100 in free throw shooting, converting a solid 74.6% of their attempts.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
Xavier is typically worse vs. teams that are likely to allow more second chances off of offensive rebounds. Against foes that have a defensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 12.16, Xavier performs above their norm 39% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 82% of the time.
