ANALYSIS: They're far from the worst of the worst, but UMass should not be a terribly frightening opponent for most clubs. They are ranked #199 (out of 358) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 15-17. They are also ranked by this site as the #11 team (out of 14) in the A-10 (average ranking 137.9).
The primary strength for UMass this year is offense. The team is ranked 68th in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 107 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. UMass does a really good job converting from the free throw line. Making 75.8% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 45th nationally in free throw percentage. Moreover, they get ample opportunity to beat you from the line, as the ball-club falls in the top-75 in free throw attempt rate with a rating of 27.61 vs. AO. UMass will also likely shoot a fair share of three-pointers each contest. The team ranks 66th in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to shoot from long, they have the ability to punish you for it, too. Ranked in the top-100 in three-point shooting percentage, they make approximately 35.3% of their three-point attempts vs. AO. If UMass does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining and converting second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a second-chance conversion percentage of just 3.2% vs. AO, which ranks 16th-worst in the nation.
Sadly for UMass, the drop-off from offensive efficiency to defensive efficiency is massive. The team is ranked 332nd in defensive efficiency, allowing about 110 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. UMass 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. AO will convert a healthy 36.5% of their three-pointers (330th in the nation), 64.0% of their near-proximity attempts (333rd), and 47.5% of their total shots from the field (338th). UMass also gives up too many chances to easily score off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 6.4% of all second-chance opportunities (318th nationally).
UMass has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #40 ranking in positive momentum.
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.
