ANALYSIS:
UCLA is a top-25 caliber squad that should be able to remain competitive with most, if not all, teams in the country. Haslametrics has them ranked 19th overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 31-5. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of 12) in the Pac-12 (average ranking 97.8).

With a very up-tempo style of play (the 22nd-fastest pace in D1), UCLA is undoubtedly one of the best in the business on offense. The team is rated second in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 121 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. UCLA is one of the most lethal teams in the country when it comes to shooting the basketball, ranking in the top-25 in each of our four major field goal categories. They make 41.1% of their three-pointers (sixth in the nation), 45.7% of their mid-range jumpers (first), 71.6% of their near-proximity chances (second), and 52.6% of their total shots from the field (first) vs. AO. UCLA also does an outstanding job finishing any scoring chances they obtain from offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 9.2% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 15th nationally).

UCLA is also a fairly decent team on the defensive end of the court. The team ranks 90th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 98 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. UCLA is a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 21.22 vs. AO, they are currently rated 11th in the country in that category. UCLA also does tremendous work shutting down the opposition from the inside. They are ranked 22nd in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 52.0% of their attempts from close-up. If UCLA does exhibit a noticeable 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 87.89 in defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks third-worst in college basketball.
