ANALYSIS: When listing some of the better squads you will find in NCAA basketball this year, one can definitely make a case for Arkansas. They are ranked #21 (out of 357) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 25-7. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of 14) in the SEC (average ranking 60.1).
Arkansas will suffocate most opponents with its stifling defense. Allowing roughly 88 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, this squad is rated #7 in defensive efficiency. Arkansas does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 9.95 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 20th in the country). Arkansas will also take a bite out of many opponents' shooting percentages, based on the fact that the team ranks in the top-50 in three of our four primary defensive field goal categories. They're most likely to shut you down inside the three-point arc, considering the team limits AO to converting just 34.0% of their mid-range jumpers (42nd in the nation), 54.0% of their near-proximity chances (42nd), and 39.9% of their total shots from the field (32nd).
Arkansas plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 43rd nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 109 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Arkansas will make a strong effort to get off as many field goals close to the basket as they can. The ball-club is 26th 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 59.8% vs. AO, which falls somewhere in the middle of the pack of the rankings in that category. Arkansas is also one of the better teams in the country when it comes to converting scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 7.1% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 29th nationally), and with a rating of 16.10, they're 40th in potential points scored off of the offensive glass as well.
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:
Arkansas does better vs. clubs that typically allow more than a fair share of breakaway opportunities. When playing squads that have a potential point rate allowed off steals vs. AO greater than 10.35, Arkansas performs above average 71% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 20% of the time.
Arkansas performs worse against squads that convert more frequently off of offensive rebounds. When facing teams that have an offensive second-chance conversion percentage vs. AO greater than 5.40%, Arkansas is more efficient than normal 33% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 73% of the time.
When playing teams that are typically efficient on offense, Arkansas usually performs worse than average. Arkansas is more efficient than normal 32% of the time when facing clubs that have an offensive efficiency rating vs. AO greater than 106.57. In all other contests, Arkansas performs better than average 69% of the time.
