ANALYSIS:
Rutgers has been extremely effective at times this year and should be regarded as a serious opponent. Ranked 73rd overall (out of 358) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 18-14. They are also ranked by this site as the #9 team (out of 14) in the Big Ten (average ranking 52.3).

The primary strength for Rutgers is defense. The team is ranked 50th in efficiency, allowing fewer than 94 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Rutgers does a bang-up job preventing the opposition from draining jumpers in between the three-point line and the low post. They're ranked 19th in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 32.8% of their attempts from that distance. Rutgers also boasts one of the better overall defensive field goal percentages in the country. The team ranks #39 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 40.0% of their total attempts from the floor.

Rutgers is also a fairly decent team on the offensive end of the court. The team ranks 102nd nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 104 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Rutgers has the potential to make you pay if you let them get close to the rim. The team is ranked 33rd in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 64.7% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. Rutgers has also been fairly successful when shooting from the field. The squad is ranked 56th in the country in field goal percentage, making approximately 46.2% of their attempts vs. AO.

Rutgers has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked 344th overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict.
