ANALYSIS: As an average to slightly above-average foe, UC Irvine should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. Haslametrics has them ranked 90th overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 21-13. Of the nine schools in the Big West (average ranking 152.7), they're currently ranked as our #2 team in the conference.
The primary strength for UC Irvine is defense. The team is ranked 82nd in efficiency, allowing fewer than 97 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. UC Irvine does tremendous work shutting down the opposition from the inside. They are ranked tenth in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 51.4% of their attempts from close-up. UC Irvine also boasts one of the better overall defensive field goal percentages in the country. The team ranks #37 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 39.4% of their total attempts from the floor.
UC Irvine plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 110th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 103 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. UC Irvine allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 8.72, which ranks #18 in the country. UC Irvine also has a keen ability to drain field goals between the three-point line and the low post. The squad is ranked 34th nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 39.1% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO. The team will take a fair amount of shots from those in-between locations, too. Approximately 37.4% of their attempts vs. AO are of the mid-range variety, which puts the team in the top-50 in that category nationally. If UC Irvine does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's inability to get to the free throw line. The squad has a free throw attempt rate of only 24.60 vs. AO, which ranks 37th-worst in the country.
UC Irvine is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 23rd in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
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.

When facing teams that have a potential point rate allowed off steals vs. AO greater than 10.09, UC Irvine is more efficient than normal 32% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 92% of the time.
