ANALYSIS: UCLA has been extremely effective at times this year and should be regarded as a serious opponent. They are ranked #52 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 21-12. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of 12) in the Pac-12 (average ranking 95.3).
The primary strength for UCLA this year is offense. The team is ranked 38th in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 111 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. UCLA is an outstanding shooting team, capable of converting from a variety of locations on the floor and ranking in the top-50 in each of our four most noteworthy field goal categories. The long-ball may be their strength (40.0% from three vs. AO, tenth in the nation), but the team also makes 64.4% of their near-proximity shots (43rd), 41.4% of their mid-range chances (33rd), and 48.0% of their total shots from the field (36th) vs. AO.
UCLA plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 70th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 97 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. UCLA boasts one of the better overall defensive field goal percentages in the country. The team ranks #27 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 40.3% of their total attempts from the floor. UCLA has also done a really good job this year to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. They are ranked 49th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 55.6% of their attempts from close-up. Because of this, AO takes nowhere near as many inside shots as they typically would -- just 29.4% of AO's field goal attempts will come from short-distance. If UCLA does exhibit a noticeable 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 86.36 in defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 23rd-worst in college basketball.
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:
UCLA does better vs. clubs that are more proficient at draining the mid-range shot. When playing squads that have an offensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 36.62%, UCLA performs above average 59% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 9% of the time.
UCLA performs worse against squads that do not defend well on the perimeter. When facing teams that have a defensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 34.48%, UCLA is more efficient than normal 17% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 57% of the time.
When playing teams that find ways to get to the free throw line, UCLA usually performs better than average. UCLA is more efficient than normal 58% of the time when facing clubs that have an offensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO greater than 27.84. In all other contests, UCLA performs better than average 21% of the time.
