ANALYSIS: Montana has a squad that most likely falls somewhere in the bottom half of NCAA Division I teams this year. Haslametrics has them ranked 231st overall (out of 357) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 15-13. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of 11) in the Big Sky (average ranking 219.6).
If there is a strength for Montana this year, it's probably on the defensive end of the court. The team is rated 178th in defensive efficiency, allowing fewer than 101 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Although they have a capable defense, Montana doesn't stand out in any one particular area on that end of the court, and they fall outside the top-100 in every one of the defensive categories we take into consideration for this analysis. If Montana does exhibit a noticeable 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 5.68 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks second-worst in the college game.
Montana doesn't perform as well offensively as they do defensively. The team is ranked 252nd in offensive efficiency, scoring about 95 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Montana happens to be one of the very worst in the game when it comes to maximizing the number of shot attempts they get off from the floor. The team is nationally ranked 347th in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 76.77 vs. AO. If Montana does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's outstanding shooting at the charity stripe. The squad makes 80.9% of their free throw attempts, which ranks #6 in Division I.
Montana has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 328th in the country 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.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
Montana does better vs. clubs that are likely to allow more second chances off of offensive rebounds. When playing squads that have a defensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 13.30, Montana performs above average 100% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 33% of the time.
Montana performs better against squads that find ways to get to the free throw line. When facing teams that have an offensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO greater than 23.89, Montana is more efficient than normal 79% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 22% of the time.
When playing teams that effectively clean the offensive glass, Montana usually performs better than average. Montana is more efficient than normal 79% of the time when facing clubs that have an offensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 11.36. In all other contests, Montana performs better than average 22% of the time.
