ANALYSIS: As an average to slightly above-average foe, Butler should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. Haslametrics has them ranked 117th overall (out of 357) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 10-15. Of the 11 schools in the Big East (average ranking 62.5), they're currently ranked as our #10 team in the conference.
Based on their performances this year, Butler will likely find more success on defense than they will on offense. Allowing about 97 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #106 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. Butler is a solid rebounding team that will deny the opposition chances to score off of offensive rebounds. They have a rating of 10.26 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 28th in the country), and they allow AO to convert just 3.8% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 49th) as well. Butler 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 21.71 vs. AO, they are currently rated 68th in the country in that category.
Butler plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 148th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 101 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Butler allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 8.01, which ranks #22 in the country. If Butler does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's poor shooting at the line. The squad makes just 64.6% of their free throw attempts, which ranks 29th-worst in Division I.
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.
