ANALYSIS: They're far from the worst of the worst, but Canisius should not be a terribly frightening opponent for most clubs. They are ranked #187 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 18-16. They are also ranked by this site as the #5 team (out of 11) in the MAAC (average ranking 200.5).
Based on the data, Canisius will likely find more success on offense than on defense. Scoring about 103 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #126 slot in the rankings for offensive efficiency. Canisius will likely shoot a fair share of three-pointers each contest. The team ranks 60th 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 35.9% from beyond the arc vs. AO. If Canisius does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's inability to get to the free throw line. The squad has a free throw attempt rate of only 23.16 vs. AO, which ranks 34th-worst in the country.
The defense for Canisius, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 269th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 107 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Canisius allows the opposition far too many easy shots from the floor and ranks in the bottom-25 in three of our four major defensive field goal shooting categories. They are exceptionally deficient defending inside the three-point line, allowing AO to make good on 41.6% of their mid-range jumpers (335th in the nation), 67.9% of their near-proximity chances (335th), and 49.8% of their total shots from the field (ninth from the bottom). Canisius is also one of the very worst teams in the game when it comes to preventing opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 9.3% of all second-chance opportunities (337th nationally).
Canisius is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked fourth in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict. On the road, Canisius performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 31st in our away-from-home metric.
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.
