ANALYSIS: Old Dominion is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. Haslametrics has them ranked 158th overall (out of 357) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 15-8. Of the 14 schools in Conference USA (average ranking 168.9), they're currently ranked as our #8 team in the conference.
Based on their performances this year, Old Dominion will likely find more success on defense than they will on offense. Allowing about 98 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #133 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. Old Dominion does a pretty solid job providing themselves chances to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked 50th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 13.68. Old Dominion has also been fairly decent in preventing teams from draining shots from between the three-point stripe and the low post. They're ranked 75th in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 35.2% of their attempts from that distance.
Old Dominion doesn't perform as well offensively as they do defensively. The team is ranked 188th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 99 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Old Dominion is one of the least accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They are ranked 342nd in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 29.0% of their attempts from long vs. AO. If Old Dominion does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to convert efficiently from the inside. The squad makes 64.4% of their near-proximity field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks 40th in the country.
Old Dominion has been playing some of its most efficient basketball of the season recently and is presently ranked 18th in positive momentum.
