ANALYSIS:
While not an atrocious team by any means, Boston U is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. Their record this season is 19-15, and the club is ranked 247th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of 10) in the Patriot League (average ranking 248.4).

Defensively, Boston U finds itself in the lower half of our ratings. The team is ranked 242nd in defensive efficiency, giving up more than 105 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Boston U hasn't done terribly well defending the mid-range jumper. The squad is ranked 301st nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 39.0% of their attempts from those in-between spots on the floor.

Boston U doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 98 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #218 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Boston U is one of the more inferior teams in the college game when it comes to maximizing opportunities to score on offense. The team is nationally ranked 322nd in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 78.07 vs. AO.
