ANALYSIS: Despite what their win percentage might indicate, Rutgers is a good team that can cause more than enough trouble for most opponents. Carrying a record of 15-17, they are currently rated #72 overall (out of 364) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 18 schools in the Big Ten (average ranking 41.3), they're currently ranked as our #16 team in the conference.
Rutgers has a reasonably potent offensive attack. Occupying the #55 slot in our offensive efficiency rankings, they will score about 117 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Rutgers is one of the better teams in the country when it comes to converting scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 8.0% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 27th nationally), and with a rating of 18.64, they're 29th in potential points scored off of the offensive glass as well. Rutgers also does a really good job to acquire opportunities from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 32.25 vs. AO, they are ranked 32nd in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 71.4%.
Rutgers is also a fairly decent team on the defensive end of the court. The team ranks 106th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 105 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Rutgers has been fairly decent in preventing teams from draining shots from between the three-point stripe and the low post. They're ranked 69th in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 34.4% of their attempts from that distance. Rutgers also makes a point to avoid fouls and prevent opponents from getting to the free throw line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 24.17 vs. AO, they are currently rated 70th in the country in that category. If Rutgers does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's issues trying to stop opponents from obtaining and converting second-chance opportunities via offensive rebounds. The squad has a defensive second-chance conversion percentage of 7.4% vs. AO, which ranks 33rd-worst in the nation.
Rutgers is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked eighth in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
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.
