ANALYSIS: They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Fort Wayne, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Ranked 168th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 16-15. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of nine) in the Summit League (average ranking 213.2).
Fort Wayne will likely rely on their offense more than anything else to win games. The team is ranked 123rd in offensive efficiency and scores more than 102 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Fort Wayne will make a strong effort to get off as many field goals close to the basket as they can. The ball-club is 38th 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 59.4% vs. AO, which falls somewhere in the middle of the pack of the rankings in that category. If Fort Wayne does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties in getting off a sufficient number of shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of just 78.61 vs. AO, which ranks 45th-worst in college basketball.
The defense for Fort Wayne, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 240th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 105 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Fort Wayne has done a pretty poor job this season to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. The team is ranked 312th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 64.0% of their attempts from close-up. On a positive note, AO will take nowhere near as many inside shots as they typically would and, as a result, only 29.9% of AO's field goal attempts will come from short-distance. Fort Wayne also struggles on occasion to deny opponents opportunities to shoot from the floor. The team is ranked 307th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 85.31 vs. AO. If Fort Wayne does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success preventing opponents from getting to the free throw line. The team has a defensive free throw attempt rate of 23.13 vs. AO, which ranks 17th-best in the country.
