ANALYSIS: This website places VCU in the top 25% of all NCAA college basketball teams this year. They have a record of 24-14 and are ranked 72nd overall (out of 362) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 15 schools in the A-10 (average ranking 123.4), they're currently ranked as our #2 team in the conference.
VCU will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 44th in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 98 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. VCU does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 3.9% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 21st in the NCAA). VCU will also take a bite out of many opponents' shooting percentages, based on the fact that the team ranks in the top-50 in three of our four primary defensive field goal categories. They allow AO to convert only 31.1% of their three-pointers (26th in the nation), 51.9% of their near-proximity attempts (26th), and 40.3% of their total shots from the field (28th).
VCU is also a fairly decent team on the offensive end of the court. The team ranks 117th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 108 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. VCU is deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 78.3% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 13th nationally in free throw percentage. VCU will also make a concerted effort to fire off quite a few three-pointers each game. The team ranks 40th in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to shoot from long, they have the ability to punish you for it, too. Ranked in the top-100 in three-point shooting percentage, they make approximately 36.2% of their three-point attempts vs. AO. If VCU does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties in getting off a sufficient number of shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of just 82.15 vs. AO, which ranks 40th-worst in college basketball.
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:
When facing teams that tend to get off more shots, VCU often performs worse than normal. VCU is more efficient than usual 41% of the time when facing teams that have an offensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO greater than 84.16. In their other contests, VCU performs better than the norm 91% of the time.
VCU does better vs. clubs that allow a greater number of field goal opportunities. When playing squads that have a defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO greater than 85.19, VCU performs above average 75% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 33% of the time.
VCU performs worse against squads that effectively clean the offensive glass. When facing teams that have an offensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 13.00, VCU is more efficient than normal 38% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 77% of the time.
