ANALYSIS: New Mexico St. 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. They are ranked #130 (out of 364) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 17-15. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of 10) in Conference USA (average ranking 144.2).
New Mexico St. has a fairly effective defensive attack. Occupying the #83 slot in our defensive efficiency ratings and preferring a more deliberate, half-court style of play (the 23rd-slowest pace in D1), they will allow about 103 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. New Mexico St. does an outstanding job shutting down the opposition from behind the arc. They rank 15th in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 29.6% of their attempts from afar. And to expose that weakness, this team will force AO to shoot the three more than they usually would. Of AO's total field goals, a large chunk of them (43.5%) will come from long-distance. New Mexico St. also boasts one of the better overall defensive field goal percentages in the country. The team ranks #46 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 40.6% of their total attempts from the floor.
The offense for New Mexico St., on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the defense is. The team is ranked 205th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 106 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. New Mexico St. is not one of the better teams when it comes to sinking foul shots. Converting just 67.5% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #327 overall in free throw percentage. New Mexico St. also needs improvement when it comes to draining the mid-range shot. The team is ranked 322nd in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 33.2% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. If New Mexico St. does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to successfully get off shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of 92.09 vs. AO, which ranks #18 in college basketball.
New Mexico St. has been playing some of its most efficient basketball of the season recently and is presently ranked 13th in positive momentum. New Mexico St. has also been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked sixth from the bottom overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict.
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:
New Mexico St. is typically better vs. teams that allow a higher number of conversions off of the offensive glass. Against foes that have a defensive second-chance conversion percentage vs. AO greater than 5.92%, New Mexico St. performs above their norm 62% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 25% of the time.
