ANALYSIS: Per this website's calculations, Cleveland State is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. Haslametrics has them ranked 168th overall (out of 358) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 20-11. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of 12) in the Horizon League (average ranking 250.7).
If there is a strength for Cleveland State this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 177th in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 100 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Cleveland State will routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is first in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to get to the inside, they are undoubtedly capable of making you pay. Presently rated in the top-100 in near-proximity shooting percentage, they make roughly 61.5% of their attempts from short-distance vs. AO. Cleveland State also does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 28.23 vs. AO, they are ranked 24th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. Unfortunately, they don't convert a ton of their free throws and make just 67.8% of their attempts. If Cleveland State 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 79.79 vs. AO, which ranks 31st-worst in college basketball.
Cleveland State is not quite as good on the defensive end of the floor. The team is ranked 207th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 102 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Cleveland State has some difficulty staying out of foul trouble, leading to an excess of free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 26.35 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #274 in the country in that category. If Cleveland State does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their willingness to take risks in order to score fast points off of steals. The team has a solid rating of 15.15 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 20th-best in college basketball.
