ANALYSIS:
Per this website's calculations, Akron is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. Their record this season is 15-8, and the club is ranked 116th overall (out of 357) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of 12) in the MAC (average ranking 197.1).

Akron succeeds primarily through their offense. They are ranked 88th in offensive efficiency and score in excess of 104 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Akron allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 7.09, which ranks #6 in the country. Akron also does a really good job converting from the free throw line. Making 77.0% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 30th nationally in free throw percentage.

The defense for Akron, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 190th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 101 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Akron does a pretty inadequate job to provide chances for themselves to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked #329 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.95 vs. AO. Akron will also allow opponents more chances to shoot than the norm. The team is ranked 307th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 85.05 vs. AO.

Akron has been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 316th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
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 performs better against squads that typically allow more than a fair share of breakaway opportunities. When facing teams that have a potential point rate allowed off steals vs. AO greater than 10.31, Akron is more efficient than normal 75% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 33% of the time.
When playing teams that have trouble defending the mid-range shot, Akron usually performs worse than average. Akron is more efficient than normal 42% of the time when facing clubs that have a defensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 36.96%. In all other contests, Akron performs better than average 78% of the time.
Akron is typically better vs. teams that are likely to allow more second chances off of offensive rebounds. Against foes that have a defensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 12.75, Akron performs above their norm 78% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 42% of the time.
