ANALYSIS:
If you see Canisius on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. They have a record of 15-17 and are ranked 262nd overall (out of 353) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 11 schools in the MAAC (average ranking 271.5), they're currently ranked as our #4 team in the conference.

Canisius does not provide much of a challenge on defense. They are ranked at #292 in efficiency on that end of the court and give up about 110 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Canisius gives up far too many offensive rebounds and second chances to their opponents. The club has a rating of 16.55 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (329th nationally), and they let AO convert a healthy 7.7% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 319th) as well. Canisius also allows opponents' field goal percentages to get far too high. The ball-club ranks #325 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 47.9% of their total attempts from the floor.

Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, Canisius still isn't one of the more capable offensive teams in college hoops. Scoring roughly 100 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #211 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Canisius won't enter the conversation if you're looking to list the best three-point shooting teams in the country. They are ranked 305th in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 31.7% of their attempts from long vs. AO.

Canisius has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 316th in the country in positive momentum. When playing on the road, Canisius has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 15th in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:

In their other contests, Canisius performs better than the norm 41% of the time.
Canisius does worse vs. clubs that do not defend well on the perimeter. When playing squads that have a defensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 36.53%, Canisius performs above average 35% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 87% of the time.
Canisius performs worse against squads that have trouble defending the mid-range shot. When facing teams that have a defensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 37.28%, Canisius is more efficient than normal 27% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 76% of the time.
