ANALYSIS: This website places St. Bonaventure in the top 25% of all NCAA college basketball teams this year. Their record this season is 26-8, and the club is ranked 79th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 14) in the A-10 (average ranking 151.4).
St. Bonaventure will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 69th in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 97 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. St. Bonaventure thrives on scoring fast and easy points off of steals. They're ranked eighth in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.96. St. Bonaventure also does a bang-up job preventing the opposition from draining jumpers in between the three-point line and the low post. They're ranked 20th in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 32.8% of their attempts from that distance. Due to this fact, AO will take nowhere near as many mid-range shots as they typically would and, as a result, only 23.3% of AO's field goal attempts will come from those in-between locations.
St. Bonaventure plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 77th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 108 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. St. Bonaventure does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 31.54 vs. AO, they are ranked 16th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. In addition, the team is in the top-75 in free throw shooting, converting a solid 75.4% of their attempts. St. Bonaventure is also fairly competent protecting the ball on offense, which minimizes opportunities for the opponent to score quickly off of steals. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 9.62, which ranks #64 in the country.
St. Bonaventure has been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 313th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most.
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.
