ANALYSIS: UC Irvine has a fairly solid squad that likely falls within the top quartile of all teams in college basketball this year. They have a record of 32-7 and are ranked 83rd overall (out of 364) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of 11) in the Big West (average ranking 191.7).
The primary strength for UC Irvine is defense. The team is ranked 47th in efficiency, allowing fewer than 100 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. UC Irvine does tremendous work shutting down the opposition from the inside. They are ranked first in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 48.0% of their attempts from close-up. Because of this, AO takes nowhere near as many inside shots as they typically would -- just 32.7% of AO's field goal attempts will come from short-distance. UC Irvine is also a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 21.98 vs. AO, they are currently rated 22nd in the country in that category. UC Irvine is lastly one of the very best in the land in overall defensive field goal percentage. The team ranks #24 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 39.5% of their total attempts from the floor. If UC Irvine does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's propensity to allow too many shot attempts per trip. The squad has a rating of 91.27 in defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 28th-worst in college basketball.
Though they're not quite as efficient offensively as they are defensively, UC Irvine still does OK when they have possession of the ball. The team ranks 151st nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 109 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. UC Irvine is deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 80.2% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked fourth nationally in free throw percentage. UC Irvine also does a pretty solid job of scoring points off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 7.1% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 70th nationally).
On the road, UC Irvine performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 26th in our away-from-home metric.
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.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
When facing teams that favor a faster tempo, UC Irvine often performs better than normal. UC Irvine is more efficient than usual 62% of the time when facing teams that have a pace vs. AO greater than 65.34. In their other contests, UC Irvine performs better than the norm 25% of the time.
UC Irvine does worse vs. clubs that do not defend well on the perimeter. When playing squads that have a defensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 33.99%, UC Irvine performs above average 39% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 75% of the time.
