ANALYSIS: American presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. Haslametrics has them ranked 332nd overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 6-24. Of the 10 schools in the Patriot League (average ranking 251.4), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference.
American will certainly not be one of the stingier defenses opponents will encounter. Allowing more than 111 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked down at #324 in defensive efficiency. American allows opposing teams far too many easy chances from the floor, ranking in the bottom-50 in three of the four main defensive field goal shooting categories. They are at their worst when defending outside the paint, allowing AO to convert 39.9% of their three-pointers (tenth from the bottom in the nation), 40.4% of their mid-range chances (302nd), and 49.3% of their total shots from the field (332nd). American also fouls far too much and sends the opposition to the line way too often. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 32.25 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #337 in the country in that category. American is lastly one of the very worst teams in the game when it comes to preventing opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 9.0% of all second-chance opportunities (329th nationally).
American doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 92 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #323 in the nation in offensive efficiency. American has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 65.7% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #335 overall in free throw percentage. American also needs improvement when it comes to draining the mid-range shot. The team is ranked 325th in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 32.5% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO.
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.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
When playing teams that have trouble defending the mid-range shot, American usually performs better than average. American is more efficient than normal 76% of the time when facing clubs that have a defensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 37.13%. In all other contests, American performs better than average 22% of the time.
American is typically worse vs. teams that are more proficient at draining the mid-range shot. Against foes that have an offensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 37.79%, American performs above their norm 27% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 79% of the time.
When facing teams that aren't terribly skilled defensively, American often performs better than normal. American is more efficient than usual 75% of the time when facing teams that have a defensive efficiency rating vs. AO greater than 106.01. In their other contests, American performs better than the norm 30% of the time.
