ANALYSIS:
Per this website's calculations, UC Riverside is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. They have a record of 16-12 and are ranked 146th overall (out of 358) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of 11) in the Big West (average ranking 205.1).

UC Riverside will likely call on their defense to win a majority of their games. The team is ranked 103rd in defensive efficiency and allows fewer than 97 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. UC Riverside does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 3.3% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 21st in the NCAA), and with a rating of 11.02, they're 45th in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well. UC Riverside also does an outstanding job shutting down the opposition from behind the arc. They rank 24th in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 30.3% of their attempts from afar. If UC Riverside does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's unwillingness to take risks in order to score fast points off of the opposition's turnovers. The squad only has a rating of 8.15 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 34th-worst in the college game.

The offense for UC Riverside, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the defense is. The team is ranked 208th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 99 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. UC Riverside poses no threat whatsoever to grab rebounds off their own misses. Against AO, the ball-club has a rating of 8.16 in potential points scored off of second chances (fourth from the bottom nationally), and they convert just 3.1% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 343rd) as well. UC Riverside is also not one of the better teams at drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 20.69 vs. AO, they are 308th in the overall rankings for that category. If UC Riverside does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to convert efficiently from the inside. The squad makes 63.8% of their near-proximity field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks 47th in the country.
