ANALYSIS: When listing some of the better squads you will find in NCAA basketball this year, one can definitely make a case for Texas Tech. Carrying a record of 27-10, they are currently rated #19 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 10) in the Big 12 (average ranking 38.9).
The Texas Tech defense will be extremely problematic for most opposing offenses. Allowing about 90 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, the club is ranked eighth overall in defensive efficiency. Texas Tech will wreak havoc with many opponents' shooting percentages this year. And it doesn't really matter where the shots originate; the team ranks in the top-25 in each of the four major defensive shooting categories. They allow AO to make just 31.6% of their three-pointers (20th in the nation), 32.2% of their mid-range shots (11th), 52.1% of their near-proximity attempts (14th), and 39.1% of their total shots from the field (tenth). Texas Tech also does a really good job to prevent opponents from getting off shots from the field. The club is ranked 28th in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 77.72 vs. AO.
Texas Tech plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 46th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 111 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Texas Tech does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 32.47 vs. AO, they are ranked eighth in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 70.4%. Texas Tech also does an outstanding job finishing any scoring chances they obtain from offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 9.4% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 23rd nationally), and with a rating of 17.99, they're 39th in potential points scored off of the offensive glass as well.
