ANALYSIS:
This website places Utah in the top 25% of all NCAA college basketball teams this year. They are ranked #51 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 20-12. Of the 12 schools in the Pac-12 (average ranking 96.9), they're currently ranked as our #4 team in the conference.

Utah succeeds primarily through their offense. They are ranked 45th in offensive efficiency and score in excess of 110 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Utah is an excellent shooting team, capable of converting from multiple locations on the court and ranking in the top-50 in three of our four primary field goal categories. They are most proficient from two-point range, making good on 40.3% of their mid-range jumpers (30th in the nation), 67.5% of their near-proximity chances (15th), and 51.5% of their total shots from the field (second) vs. AO. Utah will also routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is second in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. Utah lastly does an outstanding job finishing any scoring chances they obtain from offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 10.1% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked fifth nationally). If Utah does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's penchant for allowing too many easy buckets off of giveaways. The squad has a rating of 12.76 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of steals, which ranks 43rd-worst in the college game.

Utah plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 55th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 95 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Utah does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 11.02 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked fifth in the country), and they allow AO to convert just 4.7% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 15th) as well. Utah also does a pretty solid job avoiding careless fouls and minimizing opponents' opportunities from the free throw line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 23.38 vs. AO, they are currently rated 43rd in the country in that category.

When playing on the road, Utah performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 326th in our site's away-from-home metric.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location.

Utah is more efficient than usual 67% of the time when facing teams that have a defensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 36.43%. In their other contests, Utah performs better than the norm 19% of the time.
Utah does better vs. clubs that aren't terribly skilled defensively. When playing squads that have a defensive efficiency rating vs. AO greater than 97.96, Utah performs above average 53% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 8% of the time.
Utah performs worse against squads that convert well from the charity stripe. When facing teams that have an adjusted free throw percentage vs. AO greater than 68.87%, Utah is more efficient than normal 17% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 58% of the time.
