ANALYSIS:
They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but California, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Ranked 123rd overall (out of 362) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 13-19. They are also ranked by this site as the #10 team (out of 12) in the Pac-12 (average ranking 76.1).

If there is a strength for California this year, it's probably on the defensive end of the court. The team is rated 120th in defensive efficiency, allowing fewer than 103 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. California has been fairly decent in preventing teams from draining shots from between the three-point stripe and the low post. They're ranked 69th in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 36.5% of their attempts from that distance.

California plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 124th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 108 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. California is fairly competent protecting the ball on offense, which minimizes opportunities for the opponent to score quickly off of steals. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 9.96, which ranks #68 in the country.

California 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.
