ANALYSIS:
Santa Clara is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. They have a record of 17-16 and are ranked 126th overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of 10) in the WCC (average ranking 166.8).

Based on the data, Santa Clara will likely find more success on offense than on defense. Scoring about 103 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO and utilizing a more deliberate, half-court style of play (the 15th-slowest pace in D1), they currently occupy the #129 slot in the rankings for offensive efficiency. Santa Clara lives and dies by the three-ball and will launch from long-distance early and often. The team ranks eighth in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. And they'll absolutely kill you if you let them shoot from behind the arc. The squad makes 39.8% of its attempts from long-distance vs. AO, 19th-best in the nation. Santa Clara also allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 7.93, which ranks #11 in the country. If Santa Clara does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining and converting second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a second-chance conversion percentage of just 3.6% vs. AO, which ranks third-worst in the nation.

Santa Clara plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 132nd nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 101 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Santa Clara does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 12.11 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 24th in the country). If Santa Clara does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's unwillingness to take risks in order to score fast points off of the opposition's turnovers. The squad only has a rating of 8.42 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 45th-worst in the college game.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
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:
Santa Clara performs worse against squads that allow more chances at the line. When facing teams that have a defensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO greater than 27.10, Santa Clara is more efficient than normal 23% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 63% of the time.
When playing teams that convert well from the charity stripe, Santa Clara usually performs better than average. Santa Clara is more efficient than normal 70% of the time when facing clubs that have an adjusted free throw percentage vs. AO greater than 71.93%. In all other contests, Santa Clara performs better than average 36% of the time.
