ANALYSIS: As an average to slightly above-average foe, Nevada should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. They are ranked #99 (out of 357) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 16-10. Of the 11 schools in the MWC (average ranking 178.7), they're currently ranked as our #4 team in the conference.
The primary strength for Nevada this year is offense. The team is ranked 86th in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 104 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Nevada does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 31.16 vs. AO, they are ranked seventh in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. In addition, the team is in the top-75 in free throw shooting, converting a solid 75.1% of their attempts. Nevada also does fairly solid work converting shots between the three-point stripe and the low post. The squad is ranked 51st nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 42.2% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO.
Nevada is also a fairly decent team on the defensive end of the court. The team ranks 141st nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 98 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Nevada has extremely pesky defenders that ceaselessly attempt to deny opponents ample opportunity to shoot. The club is ranked 23rd in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 77.48 vs. AO. Nevada has also been able to successfully prevent opponents from making shots between the three-point stripe and the low post. They're ranked 39th in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 33.9% of their attempts from that distance. If Nevada does exhibit a noticeable 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 31.51 in defensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks ninth-worst in the country.
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:
Nevada is typically better vs. teams that tend to allow more shots on the perimeter. Against foes that have a defensive shooting proximity score vs. AO greater than 2.03, Nevada performs above their norm 94% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 22% of the time.
When facing teams that tend to capitalize off breakaway opportunities, Nevada often performs better than normal. Nevada is more efficient than usual 100% of the time when facing teams that have a potential point rate off steals vs. AO greater than 11.67. In their other contests, Nevada performs better than the norm 39% of the time.
Nevada does worse vs. clubs that allow more chances at the line. When playing squads that have a defensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO greater than 24.29, Nevada performs above average 42% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 92% of the time.
