ANALYSIS: New Mexico has been extremely effective at times this year and should be regarded as a serious opponent. Ranked 34th overall (out of 362) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 26-10. Of the 11 schools in the MWC (average ranking 114.8), they're currently ranked as the best team in the conference.
Preferring a very up-tempo style of play (the 15th-fastest pace in D1), New Mexico is one of the most menacing defensive teams in the country. Ranked 22nd in defensive efficiency, they will allow fewer than 96 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. New Mexico will put a good dent in the shooting percentages of several opponents, considering the team ranks in the top-50 in each of the four major defensive shooting categories. Defending the long-ball is their strength (allowing 30.1% shooting from three vs. AO, 12th-best in the nation), but the team also harasses AO into converting just 53.6% of their near-proximity attempts (44th), 34.9% of their mid-range chances (28th), and 40.4% of their total shots from the field (29th). New Mexico also thrives on scoring fast and easy points off of steals. They're ranked 12th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 16.25.
New Mexico plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 55th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 113 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. New Mexico does an outstanding job finishing any scoring chances they obtain from offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 8.7% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked sixth nationally), and with a rating of 18.50, they're tenth in potential points scored off of the offensive glass as well. New Mexico is also one of the very best when it comes to maximizing field goal opportunities. The team is ranked tenth in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 91.10 vs. AO. And when they do shoot, they make a fair portion of their shots. Ranked in the top-100 in field goal shooting percentage, the squad converts about 45.9% of their total attempts vs. AO. New Mexico will lastly routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is tenth 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 58.9% vs. AO, which falls somewhere in the middle of the pack of the rankings in that category.
