ANALYSIS:
If you're looking for a squad in the bottom quartile of all Division I basketball teams this year, UC Riverside likely fits the bill. They have a record of 10-23 and are ranked 324th overall (out of 353) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #8 team (out of nine) in the Big West (average ranking 226.6).

Defense is not exactly a strength for UC Riverside this year. The team is ranked 324th in defensive efficiency and allows more than 112 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. UC Riverside allows the opposition far too many easy shots from the floor and ranks in the bottom-25 in three of our four major defensive field goal shooting categories. They are at their worst when defending outside the paint, allowing AO to convert 38.5% of their three-pointers (330th in the nation), 43.0% of their mid-range chances (third from the bottom), and 48.1% of their total shots from the field (330th). If UC Riverside does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success stopping opponents from earning second-chance opportunities via offensive boards. The team has a rating of 10.97 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 16th-best in college hoops.

UC Riverside doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 94 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #307 in the nation in offensive efficiency. UC Riverside does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 16.78 vs. AO, they are last in the overall rankings for that category. UC Riverside is also one of the more deficient teams in the nation as it pertains to scoring off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 4.5% of all second-chance opportunities (307th nationally).
