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.
