ANALYSIS: While not an atrocious team by any means, Cornell is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. Carrying a record of 13-17, they are currently rated #207 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of eight) in the Ivy League (average ranking 181.4).
Cornell has a fairly effective defensive attack. Occupying the #99 slot in our defensive efficiency ratings, they will allow about 97 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Cornell has done a really good job this year to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. They are ranked 34th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 53.0% of their attempts from close-up. Cornell is also one of the better teams when it comes to not allowing opponents to convert scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 5.4% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 43rd in the NCAA).
Unfortunately, Cornell is not even remotely close to being as good on offense as they are on defense. The team is ranked 302nd in offensive efficiency, scoring about 92 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Cornell does a terrible job to take advantage of scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 4.7% of all second-chance opportunities (336th nationally), and with a rating of 11.82, they're 320th in potential points scored off of the offensive boards as well. Cornell also won't enter the conversation if you're looking to list the best three-point shooting teams in the country. They are ranked 325th in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 30.0% of their attempts from long vs. AO. Moreover, they find themselves in the bottom-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting just 38.7% of their total attempts vs. AO. If Cornell does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's outstanding shooting at the charity stripe. The squad makes 75.2% of their free throw attempts, which ranks #19 in Division I.
Cornell has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 318th in the country in positive momentum. Cornell has also been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked 334th 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:
Cornell performs better against squads that do not defend well on the perimeter. When facing teams that have a defensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 33.68%, Cornell is more efficient than normal 58% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 20% of the time.
