ANALYSIS:
They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Rutgers, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. They are ranked #122 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 15-18. Of the 14 schools in the Big Ten (average ranking 55.9), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference.

The primary strength for Rutgers is defense. The team is ranked 62nd in efficiency, allowing fewer than 97 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Rutgers will take a bite out of many opponents' shooting percentages, based on the fact that the team ranks in the top-50 in three of our four primary defensive field goal categories. They allow AO to convert only 32.2% of their three-pointers (41st in the nation), 52.3% of their near-proximity attempts (25th), and 40.8% of their total shots from the field (48th). Rutgers also does an adequate job to prevent opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 5.5% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 57th in the NCAA).

Unfortunately, Rutgers is not even remotely close to being as good on offense as they are on defense. The team is ranked 220th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 98 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Rutgers has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 62.0% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #345 overall in free throw percentage. Rutgers is also downright rotten when shooting the mid-range jumper. The team is ranked 341st in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 30.7% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. If Rutgers does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's knack for obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 24.01 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks first in all of college hoops.

On the road, Rutgers performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 36th in our away-from-home metric.
