ANALYSIS: Per this website's calculations, FAU is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. Haslametrics has them ranked 165th overall (out of 357) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 13-10. They are also ranked by this site as the #9 team (out of 14) in Conference USA (average ranking 168.9).
FAU will likely call on their defense to win a majority of their games. The team is ranked 164th in defensive efficiency and allows fewer than 100 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. FAU does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 3.0% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked ninth in the NCAA), and with a rating of 10.10, they're 24th in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well. FAU also does a really good job to prevent opponents from getting off shots from the field. The club is ranked 28th in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 77.74 vs. AO. If FAU does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's tendency to send opponents to the line too much by fouling. The squad has a rating of 29.88 in defensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 27th-worst in the country.
FAU is not quite as good on the offensive end of the floor. The team is ranked 199th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 98 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. FAU is not one of the better teams when it comes to sinking foul shots. Converting just 65.3% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #324 overall in free throw percentage. FAU also needs improvement when it comes to draining the mid-range shot. The team is ranked 319th in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 33.6% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. If FAU does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's care for the ball. The squad has a rating of 7.50 in potential points allowed off of steals vs. AO, which ranks tenth in the college game.
FAU has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #39 ranking 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.

In all other contests, FAU performs better than average 56% of the time.
FAU is typically better vs. teams that tend to capitalize off breakaway opportunities. Against foes that have a potential point rate off steals vs. AO greater than 11.90, FAU performs above their norm 50% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 11% of the time.
When facing teams that allow a greater number of field goal opportunities, FAU often performs worse than normal.
