ANALYSIS: Per this website's calculations, LA Tech is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. Haslametrics has them ranked 132nd overall (out of 364) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 20-12. Of the 10 schools in Conference USA (average ranking 144.2), they're currently ranked as our #5 team in the conference.
Based on their performances this year, LA Tech will likely find more success on defense than they will on offense. Allowing about 106 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #115 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. LA Tech has done a very good job to prevent opponents from draining threes this year. They rank 32nd in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 31.0% of their attempts from afar.
LA Tech plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 158th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 109 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. LA Tech will routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is 24th in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. As far as converting those near-proximity shots goes, the team shoots 57.7% vs. AO, which falls somewhere in the middle of the pack of the rankings in that category. LA Tech is also one of the better teams in the country when it comes to converting scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 7.7% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 41st nationally). If LA Tech does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's penchant for allowing too many easy buckets off of giveaways. The squad has a rating of 14.26 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of steals, which ranks 49th-worst in the college game.
LA Tech has been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 315th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most.
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:
LA Tech is typically better vs. teams that allow a higher number of conversions off of the offensive glass. Against foes that have a defensive second-chance conversion percentage vs. AO greater than 5.98%, LA Tech performs above their norm 82% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 33% of the time.
When facing teams that tend to capitalize off breakaway opportunities, LA Tech often performs better than normal. LA Tech is more efficient than usual 91% of the time when facing teams that have a potential point rate off steals vs. AO greater than 13.62. In their other contests, LA Tech performs better than the norm 44% of the time.
LA Tech does worse vs. clubs that tend to allow more shots on the perimeter.
