ANALYSIS: While this site doesn't quite consider them to be in the national title hunt, Wichita State has the potential to be a formidable opponent for many in Division I. They are ranked #74 (out of 357) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 16-6. Of the 11 schools in the AAC (average ranking 120.0), they're currently ranked as our #3 team in the conference.
The primary strength for Wichita State is defense. The team is ranked 63rd in efficiency, allowing fewer than 95 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Wichita State has had some success this season preventing opponents from converting many of their overall field goal attempts. The team ranks #59 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 41.0% of their total attempts from the floor.
Wichita State plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 85th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 105 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Wichita State is one of the very best when it comes to maximizing field goal opportunities. The team is ranked tenth in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 88.22 vs. AO. Conversely, the squad isn't all that good at draining those shots, converting about 41.5% of their total attempts vs. AO. Wichita State also does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 29.38 vs. AO, they are ranked 23rd in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 68.9%. If Wichita State does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's inability to drain mid-range jumpers. The squad makes just 29.6% of their mid-range field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks fourth-worst in the nation.
Wichita State is one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 50th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
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.
