ANALYSIS: Belmont has been extremely effective at times this year and should be regarded as a serious opponent. Haslametrics has them ranked 81st overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 23-7. Of the 12 schools in the OVC (average ranking 211.3), they're currently ranked as the best team in the conference.
Belmont succeeds primarily through their offense. They are ranked 56th in offensive efficiency and score in excess of 109 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Belmont lives and dies by the three-ball and will launch from long-distance early and often. The team ranks second 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 34.1% from beyond the arc vs. AO. Belmont is also deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 79.0% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked fourth nationally in free throw percentage. Though they typically convert their shots from the line, the downside is that they hardly ever manage to get there. The squad has a free throw attempt rate of 21.70 vs. AO (18th-worst in the nation). Belmont is lastly superb at converting jumpers in between the three-point stripe and the low post. The squad is ranked 16th nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 41.1% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO. If Belmont does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining and converting second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a second-chance conversion percentage of just 4.6% vs. AO, which ranks 23rd-worst in the nation.
The defense for Belmont, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 179th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 102 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Belmont is extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #347 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 6.98 vs. AO.
Belmont is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 23rd in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier 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:
Belmont is typically better vs. teams that tend to get off more shots. Against foes that have an offensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO greater than 80.10, Belmont performs above their norm 55% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 11% of the time.
When facing teams that have trouble defending the mid-range shot, Belmont often performs worse than normal. Belmont is more efficient than usual 21% of the time when facing teams that have a defensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 37.03%. In their other contests, Belmont performs better than the norm 60% of the time.
