ANALYSIS:
W. Michigan is not one of the better teams in Division I this year. Ranked 325th overall (out of 357) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 5-16. Of the 12 schools in the MAC (average ranking 197.1), they're currently ranked as our #10 team in the conference.

W. Michigan is not one of the most productive teams on offense. Scoring fewer than 90 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are rated at #326 in offensive efficiency. W. Michigan is one of the more inferior teams in the college game when it comes to maximizing opportunities to score on offense. The team is nationally ranked 323rd in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 78.09 vs. AO. W. Michigan also has some difficulty protecting the ball efficiently when in possession, which leads to some quick and easy baskets for the opposition. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 13.74, which ranks 317th in D1.

W. Michigan doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 106 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #303 in the nation in defensive efficiency. W. Michigan allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked 345th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 87.48 vs. AO. W. Michigan is also extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #333 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.74 vs. AO.

W. Michigan has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 314th in the country in positive momentum. W. Michigan is also one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 22nd in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
