ANALYSIS:
New Mexico 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 #152 (out of 353) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 19-14. They are also ranked by this site as the #8 team (out of 11) in the MWC (average ranking 131.7).

Based on their performances this year, New Mexico will likely find more success on defense than they will on offense. Allowing about 99 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO and favoring a very up-tempo style of play (the 21st-fastest pace in D1), they currently occupy the #162 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. New Mexico is a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 19.51 vs. AO, they are currently rated 12th in the country in that category. New Mexico will also look to secure a relatively healthy number of easy scoring opportunities off of steals. They're ranked 63rd in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 13.12.

New Mexico plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 163rd nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 100 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. New Mexico makes an effort to get off shots from the inside more so than the perimeter. The ball-club is 54th in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to get to the inside, they are undoubtedly capable of making you pay. Presently rated in the top-75 in near-proximity shooting percentage, they make roughly 62.5% of their attempts from short-distance vs. AO. If New Mexico does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's penchant for allowing too many easy buckets off of giveaways. The squad has a rating of 14.76 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of steals, which ranks seventh-worst in the college game.

When playing on the road, New Mexico performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 321st in our site's away-from-home metric.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:

Against foes that have an offensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 36.10%, New Mexico performs above their norm 18% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 67% of the time.
When facing teams that are more proficient at draining the mid-range shot, New Mexico often performs worse than normal. New Mexico is more efficient than usual 23% of the time when facing teams that have an offensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 39.34%. In their other contests, New Mexico performs better than the norm 68% of the time.
New Mexico does better vs. clubs that prefer the outside shot. When playing squads that have an offensive shooting proximity score vs. AO greater than 2.08, New Mexico performs above average 80% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 36% of the time.
