ANALYSIS: Boston U is not one of the better teams in Division I this year. Carrying a record of 16-17, they are currently rated #287 overall (out of 362) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the Patriot League (average ranking 288.8), they're currently ranked as our #4 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.235 (which ranks sixth from the bottom nationally), Boston U has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.
Offense is not the strong suit when it comes to Boston U. The team is ranked 290th in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 99 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Boston U is downright rotten when shooting the mid-range jumper. The team is ranked fourth from the bottom in field goal percentage from that distance, making only 31.8% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO. Exacerbating the situation, they find themselves in the bottom-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, converting only 40.8% of all their attempts from the floor vs. AO. Boston U also does a terrible job to take advantage of scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team converts only 3.2% of all second-chance opportunities (352nd nationally).
Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, Boston U still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 108 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #236 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Boston U does a very lackluster job preventing opponents from draining threes. They rank 324th nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 37.0% of their attempts from afar.
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 performs worse against squads that typically allow more than a fair share of breakaway opportunities. When facing teams that have a potential point rate allowed off steals vs. AO greater than 11.16, Boston U is more efficient than normal 13% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 63% of the time.
When playing teams that allow a higher number of conversions off of the offensive glass, Boston U usually performs better than average. Boston U is more efficient than normal 50% of the time when facing clubs that have a defensive second-chance conversion percentage vs. AO greater than 5.74%. In all other contests, Boston U performs better than average 10% of the time.
Boston U is typically better vs. teams that tend to capitalize off breakaway opportunities. Against foes that have a potential point rate off steals vs. AO greater than 11.41, Boston U performs above their norm 58% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 25% of the time.
