ANALYSIS: This website places Drake in the top 25% of all NCAA college basketball teams this year. They have a record of 26-5 and are ranked 61st overall (out of 357) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 10 schools in the MVC (average ranking 156.7), they're currently ranked as our #2 team in the conference.
Drake succeeds primarily through their offense. They are ranked 36th in offensive efficiency and score in excess of 109 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Drake is one of the very best when it comes to maximizing field goal opportunities. The team is ranked eighth in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 88.60 vs. AO. And when they do shoot, they make a fair portion of their shots. Ranked in the top-75 in field goal shooting percentage, the squad converts about 46.0% of their total attempts vs. AO. Drake also has a keen ability to drain field goals between the three-point line and the low post. The squad is ranked 36th nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 42.8% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO. The team will take a fair amount of shots from those in-between locations, too. Approximately 32.7% of their attempts vs. AO are of the mid-range variety, which puts the team in the top-75 in that category nationally.
Drake is also a fairly decent team on the defensive end of the court. The team ranks 109th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 97 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Drake has done a very good job to prevent opponents from draining threes this year. They rank 40th in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 31.0% of their attempts from afar.
Drake has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 327th in the country in positive momentum.
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.
