ANALYSIS:
While not an atrocious team by any means, Boston U is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. Ranked 190th overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 18-14. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 10) in the Patriot League (average ranking 216.7).

Based on their performances this year, Boston U will likely find more success on defense than they will on offense. Allowing about 101 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #142 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. Boston U thrives on scoring fast and easy points off of steals. They're ranked 25th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.18.

Boston U doesn't perform as well offensively as they do defensively. The team is ranked 214th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 99 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Boston U isn't the greatest at protecting the ball on offense and, as a result, opponents tend to score more quick points off of steals than they normally would. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 12.25, which ranks 283rd in D1.
