ANALYSIS: URI is a moderately good team, capable of testing many an opponent that they'll encounter. They are ranked #69 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 23-10. Of the 14 schools in the A-10 (average ranking 122.4), they're currently ranked as our #5 team in the conference.
URI will suffocate most opponents with its stifling defense. Allowing roughly 90 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, this squad is rated #14 in defensive efficiency. URI does an outstanding job shutting down the opposition from behind the arc. They rank second in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 28.0% of their attempts from afar. For this reason, AO takes nowhere near as many threes as they typically would -- just 27.2% of AO's field goal attempts will be from downtown. URI also has extremely pesky defenders that ceaselessly attempt to deny opponents ample opportunity to shoot. The club is ranked 21st in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 77.05 vs. AO. If URI 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 33.12 in defensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 48th-worst in the country.
Though they're not quite as efficient offensively as they are defensively, URI still does OK when they have possession of the ball. The team ranks 167th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 100 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. URI does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 36.25 vs. AO, they are ranked sixth in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. Unfortunately, they don't convert a ton of their free throws and make just 65.3% of their attempts. URI will also routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is 19th in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to get to the inside, they are undoubtedly capable of making you pay. Presently rated in the top-100 in near-proximity shooting percentage, they make roughly 61.7% of their attempts from short-distance vs. AO. If URI does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties in getting off a sufficient number of shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of just 77.87 vs. AO, which ranks 31st-worst in college basketball.
URI is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked sixth in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
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:
URI performs worse against squads that tend to capitalize off breakaway opportunities. When facing teams that have a potential point rate off steals vs. AO greater than 13.09, URI never performs above average. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 57% of the time.
When playing teams that do a nice job converting inside the paint, URI usually performs worse than average. URI is more efficient than normal 23% of the time when facing clubs that have an offensive near-proximity field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 58.03%. In all other contests, URI performs better than average 70% of the time.
URI is typically better vs. teams that are likely to allow more second chances off of offensive rebounds. Against foes that have a defensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 14.50, URI performs above their norm 55% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 8% of the time.
