ANALYSIS: Baylor has been extremely effective at times this year and should be regarded as a serious opponent. They are ranked #33 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 19-15. They are also ranked by this site as the #5 team (out of 10) in the Big 12 (average ranking 38.9).
Baylor has a fairly effective defensive attack. Occupying the #26 slot in our defensive efficiency ratings, they will allow about 94 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Baylor does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 4.8% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 14th in the NCAA). Baylor is also one of the very best in the land in overall defensive field goal percentage. The team ranks #20 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 40.1% of their total attempts from the floor.
Baylor plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 56th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 110 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Baylor loves taking the mid-range two, far more so than most other teams. The club is ranked sixth in ratio of mid-range attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to take that in-between shot, they can certainly make it, too. Currently rated in the top-50 in mid-range shooting percentage, they make roughly 40.7% of their attempts from that distance vs. AO. Baylor also does an outstanding job finishing any scoring chances they obtain from offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 10.5% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked ninth nationally), and with a rating of 19.03, they're 21st in potential points scored off of the offensive glass as well. Baylor is lastly one of the nation's most effective teams finishing close to the iron. The team is ranked 22nd in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 66.7% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. The squad likewise lands in the top-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage and makes good on about 47.5% of their total attempts vs. AO.
On the road, Baylor performs noticeably worse than they do at home. The team is currently ranked 334th in the country in the away-from-home metric we track.
