ANALYSIS:
UC Irvine has been extremely effective at times this year and should be regarded as a serious opponent. Their record this season is 31-6, and the club is ranked 61st overall (out of 353) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the best team (out of nine) in the Big West (average ranking 224.2).

UC Irvine will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 54th in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 97 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. UC Irvine does tremendous work shutting down the opposition from the inside. They are ranked second in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 48.3% of their attempts from close-up. UC Irvine is also one of the very best in the land in overall defensive field goal percentage. The team ranks #14 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 39.0% of their total attempts from the floor. If UC Irvine does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's propensity to allow too many shot attempts per trip. The squad has a rating of 87.25 in defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 28th-worst in college basketball.

UC Irvine plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 92nd nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 108 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. UC Irvine will make a strong effort to get off as many field goals close to the basket as they can. The ball-club is 36th 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 58.1% vs. AO, which falls somewhere in the middle of the pack of the rankings in that category. UC Irvine also has one of the better squads in the college game when it comes to maximizing opportunities to score. The team is ranked 37th in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 86.90 vs. AO. And when they do shoot, they make a fair portion of their shots. Ranked in the top-100 in field goal shooting percentage, the squad converts about 45.6% of their total attempts vs. AO.

UC Irvine has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #42 ranking in positive momentum. UC Irvine has also been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked tenth from the bottom overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict.
