ANALYSIS: This website places UNC Wilmington in the top 25% of all NCAA college basketball teams this year. They are ranked #61 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 29-6. They are also ranked by this site as the best team (out of 10) in the Colonial (average ranking 173.3).
The primary strength for UNC Wilmington this year is offense. The team is ranked 27th in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 114 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. UNC Wilmington is one of the very best when it comes to maximizing field goal opportunities. The team is ranked second in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 88.03 vs. AO. And when they do shoot, they make a fair portion of their shots. Ranked in the top-75 in field goal shooting percentage, the squad converts about 46.9% of their total attempts vs. AO. UNC Wilmington also 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 7.82, which ranks #7 in the country. UNC Wilmington is lastly superb at converting jumpers in between the three-point stripe and the low post. The squad is ranked 20th nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 40.5% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO.
Unfortunately, UNC Wilmington is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 183rd in defensive efficiency, allowing about 103 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. UNC Wilmington fares terribly when attempting to stop opponents from converting from the inside. The team is ranked tenth from the bottom in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 69.0% of their attempts from close-up. UNC Wilmington also allows opponents' field goal percentages to get far too high. The ball-club ranks #312 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 47.6% of their total attempts from the floor. If UNC Wilmington does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their ability to limit the number of shot attempts by the opposition. The team has a defensive field goal attempt rate of 77.94 vs. AO, which ranks 36th-best in college basketball.
UNC Wilmington has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked 334th overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult 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.
