ANALYSIS: A borderline top-25 caliber team, Wisconsin will almost certainly present a challenging task for any Division I opponent. Carrying a record of 25-8, they are currently rated #29 overall (out of 358) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 14 schools in the Big Ten (average ranking 52.3), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference. Sporting a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.728 (the ninth-highest in the country), Wisconsin has prepared themselves by challenging some of the best teams in the college game.
Wisconsin has been a force on the defensive end of the court. The team is rated 19th in defensive efficiency and allows fewer than 91 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Wisconsin does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 2.9% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked fifth in the NCAA), and with a rating of 9.95, they're 18th in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well. Wisconsin has also done a very good job to prevent opponents from draining threes this year. They rank 33rd in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 30.6% of their attempts from afar.
Wisconsin plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 53rd nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 108 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Wisconsin 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 8.10, which ranks #11 in the country. Wisconsin also does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 28.66 vs. AO, they are ranked 14th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 73.7%. Wisconsin is lastly one of the nation's most effective teams finishing close to the iron. The team is ranked 25th in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 65.3% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. However, even with their high conversion rate on near-proximity attempts, this team usually settles for shots from longer distances. Only about 32.3% of their total attempts vs. AO are from the inside.
Wisconsin is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 18th in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
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:
When facing teams that shoot the ball well from the field, Wisconsin often performs better than normal. Wisconsin is more efficient than usual 71% of the time when facing teams that have an offensive field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 46.95%. In their other contests, Wisconsin performs better than the norm 37% of the time.
Wisconsin does better vs. clubs that effectively clean the offensive glass. When playing squads that have an offensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 13.98, Wisconsin performs above average 69% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 35% of the time.
Wisconsin performs better against squads that are typically efficient on offense. When facing teams that have an offensive efficiency rating vs. AO greater than 105.54, Wisconsin is more efficient than normal 67% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 33% of the time.
