ANALYSIS:
Not one of the better ball-clubs in college basketball, Cal Poly should be a fairly easy win for most capable opponents. They are ranked #318 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 9-22. They are also ranked by this site as the #8 team (out of nine) in the Big West (average ranking 208.3).

Cal Poly will certainly not be one of the stingier defenses opponents will encounter. Allowing more than 111 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked down at #323 in defensive efficiency. Cal Poly does an extremely poor job to deny the opposition behind the arc. They rank 340th nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 39.6% of their attempts from afar. Cal Poly also allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked 332nd in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 86.43 vs. AO.

Cal Poly doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 94 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #303 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Cal Poly will have a really tough time winning games when taking into consideration their shooting percentage near the basket. The team is ranked fourth from the bottom in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 49.4% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. Moreover, they find themselves in the bottom-25 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting just 39.7% of their total attempts vs. AO. Cal Poly also does a terrible job to take advantage of scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 3.6% of all second-chance opportunities (fourth from the bottom nationally). Cal Poly lastly does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 21.10 vs. AO, they are 328th in the overall rankings for that category. If Cal Poly does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's outstanding shooting at the charity stripe. The squad makes 79.3% of their free throw attempts, which ranks #7 in Division I.

Cal Poly has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked 336th overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict.
