ANALYSIS:
If you see Valparaiso on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. They have a record of 14-18 and are ranked 190th overall (out of 358) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 10 schools in the MVC (average ranking 128.7), they're currently ranked as our #9 team in the conference.

If there is a strength for Valparaiso this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 175th in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 101 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Valparaiso does a really good job converting from the free throw line. Making 76.2% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 32nd nationally in free throw percentage. Valparaiso also fares better than most teams when it comes to converting from locations close to the basket. The team is ranked 63rd in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 63.1% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO.

Valparaiso doesn't perform as well defensively as they do offensively. The team is ranked 239th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 104 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Valparaiso will allow opponents more chances to shoot than the norm. The team is ranked 305th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 87.52 vs. AO. If Valparaiso does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success preventing opponents from getting to the free throw line. The team has a defensive free throw attempt rate of 21.03 vs. AO, which ranks 44th-best in the country.

Valparaiso is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked tenth in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
