ANALYSIS: This website places Princeton in the top 25% of all NCAA college basketball teams this year. Carrying a record of 23-9, they are currently rated #74 overall (out of 363) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the eight schools in the Ivy League (average ranking 158.5), they're currently ranked as our #2 team in the conference.
Princeton has a fairly effective defensive attack. Occupying the #62 slot in our defensive efficiency ratings, they will allow about 97 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Princeton does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 2.7% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked first in the NCAA), and with a rating of 10.55, they're tenth in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well. Princeton has also done a really good job this year to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. They are ranked 43rd in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 54.4% of their attempts from close-up. If Princeton 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 6.63 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks seventh-worst in the college game.
Princeton plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 85th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 108 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Princeton allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 8.02, which ranks #11 in the country. Princeton will also routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is 15th in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. As far as converting those near-proximity shots goes, the team shoots 59.0% vs. AO, which falls somewhere in the middle of the pack of the rankings in that category. If Princeton does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad only has a rating of 9.16 vs. AO in potential points off of second chances, which ranks 13th-worst in college hoops.
Princeton has been playing some of its most efficient basketball of the season recently and is presently ranked 12th in positive momentum. On the road, Princeton performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 46th in our away-from-home metric.
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.
