ANALYSIS:
Wichita State is among the very best of the best in NCAA hoops this year. They are ranked #6 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 31-5. Of the 10 schools in the MVC (average ranking 149.7), they're currently ranked as the best team in the conference.

Wichita State is one of the most menacing defensive teams in the country. Ranked seventh in defensive efficiency, they will allow fewer than 89 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Wichita State will wreak havoc with many opponents' shooting percentages this year. And it doesn't really matter where the shots originate; the team ranks in the top-25 in each of the four major defensive shooting categories. They allow AO to make just 30.5% of their three-pointers (12th in the nation), 32.1% of their mid-range shots (22nd), 50.6% of their near-proximity attempts (seventh), and 37.3% of their total shots from the field (second). Wichita State also does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 4.6% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 12th in the NCAA), and with a rating of 12.68, they're 50th in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well.

Wichita State plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 16th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 116 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Wichita State is one of the most accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They're ranked sixth nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 41.2% of their attempts from there vs. AO. The team likewise falls in the top-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting about 47.4% of their attempts vs. AO. Wichita State also does a pretty good job of protecting the ball when they have possession and not allowing quick and easy baskets off of their own turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 8.83, which ranks #29 in the country.

Wichita State has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked fifth from the bottom overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict. On the road, Wichita State performs noticeably worse than they do at home. The team is currently ranked fifth from the bottom in the country in the away-from-home metric we track.
