ANALYSIS: Regardless of what the win percentage says, Boston U isn't a very good team this year. They are ranked #179 (out of 353) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 21-13. Of the 10 schools in the Patriot League (average ranking 253.8), they're currently ranked as our #2 team in the conference.
Based on their performances this year, Boston U will likely find more success on defense than they will on offense. Allowing about 99 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #160 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. Boston U makes a point to avoid fouls and prevent opponents from getting to the free throw line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 22.87 vs. AO, they are currently rated 81st in the country in that category. If Boston U does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's unwillingness to take risks in order to score fast points off of the opposition's turnovers. The squad only has a rating of 8.34 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 40th-worst in the college game.
Boston U is not quite as good on the offensive end of the floor. The team is ranked 182nd in offensive efficiency, scoring about 99 points every 100 possessions vs. AO.
