ANALYSIS: Regardless of what the win percentage says, Boston U isn't a very good team this year. Their record this season is 22-13, and the club is ranked 236th overall (out of 358) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 10) in the Patriot League (average ranking 278.7).
Boston U will likely rely on their offense more than anything else to win games. The team is ranked 156th in offensive efficiency and scores more than 102 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Boston U is superb at converting jumpers in between the three-point stripe and the low post. The squad is ranked first nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 46.8% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO. The team will take a fair amount of shots from those in-between locations, too. Approximately 32.1% of their attempts vs. AO are of the mid-range variety, which puts the team in the top-100 in that category nationally. If Boston U does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's penchant for allowing too many easy buckets off of giveaways. The squad has a rating of 14.07 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of steals, which ranks 11th-worst in the college game.
Unfortunately, Boston U is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 312th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 109 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Boston U performs really badly when attempting to stop opponents from making mid-range jumpers. The squad is ranked fourth from the bottom nationally in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on 45.3% of their attempts from those in-between spots on the floor. Making matters worse, AO will take advantage of that weakness and put up mid-range shots in abundance. Of AO's total field goals, a huge portion of them (33.4%) will be from those in-between locations. Boston U also does a pretty inadequate job to provide chances for themselves to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked #328 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.73 vs. AO.
On the road, Boston U performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 50th in our away-from-home metric.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
Boston U is typically better vs. teams that do a nice job converting inside the paint. Against foes that have an offensive near-proximity field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 55.86%, Boston U performs above their norm 75% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 36% of the time.
