ANALYSIS: UMass is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. Ranked 104th overall (out of 357) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 8-7. Of the 14 schools in the A-10 (average ranking 131.6), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference.
The primary strength for UMass this year is offense. The team is ranked 97th in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 103 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. UMass will make a concerted effort to fire off quite a few three-pointers each game. The team ranks 49th in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. When it comes to actually making their three-point attempts, the squad shoots a so-so 34.7% from beyond the arc vs. AO. UMass also does fairly solid work converting shots between the three-point stripe and the low post. The squad is ranked 74th nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 41.0% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO.
UMass plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 105th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 97 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. UMass does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 3.4% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 21st in the NCAA). UMass also does a pretty solid job providing themselves chances to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked 38th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.30.
When playing on the road, UMass has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked fifth in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
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.
