ANALYSIS: Akron 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. Ranked 115th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 27-9. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of 12) in the MAC (average ranking 176.6).
Akron has a reasonably potent offensive attack. Occupying the #70 slot in our offensive efficiency rankings, they will score about 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Akron lives and dies by the three-ball and will launch from long-distance early and often. The team ranks ninth in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. When it comes to actually making their three-point attempts, the squad shoots a so-so 36.3% from beyond the arc vs. AO.
The defense for Akron, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 201st in defensive efficiency, allowing about 104 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Akron tends to struggle a bit against teams that shoot the three. They rank 278th nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 37.2% of their attempts from afar. If Akron does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success stopping opponents from earning second-chance opportunities via offensive boards. The team has a rating of 12.13 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 26th-best in college hoops.
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:

Akron is more efficient than usual 65% of the time when facing teams that have an offensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 33.72%. In their other contests, Akron performs better than the norm 8% of the time.
Akron does better vs. clubs that shoot the ball well from the field. When playing squads that have an offensive field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 42.83%, Akron performs above average 62% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 21% of the time.
Akron performs worse against squads that favor a faster tempo. When facing teams that have a pace vs. AO greater than 70.62, Akron is more efficient than normal 28% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 65% of the time.
