ANALYSIS:
Rutgers is not one of the better teams in Division I this year. Carrying a record of 7-25, they are currently rated #290 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 14 schools in the Big Ten (average ranking 80.5), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference.

Rutgers is not one of the most productive teams on offense. Scoring fewer than 96 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are rated at #279 in offensive efficiency. Rutgers fares worse than most teams when it comes to converting from locations close to the hoop. The team is ranked 274th in near-proximity field goal percentage, making only 55.5% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO.

Rutgers doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 108 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #277 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Rutgers allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked fourth from the bottom in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 89.49 vs. AO. Rutgers also gives up far too many offensive rebounds and second chances to their opponents. The club has a rating of 18.51 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (335th nationally). If Rutgers does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their ability to prevent opponents from draining shot attempts in between the three-point line and the low post. AO will convert just 31.4% of their mid-range field goal attempts, and the team is nationally ranked 21st-best in that category as a result.

When playing on the road, Rutgers performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 324th in our site's away-from-home metric.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
