Right now UND has a LOT coming back. They are bringing back 4 players from their starting lineup and all 3 of their reserves from last year. In addition, they have Gordon coming back off of injury and she got some expereince in the COVID season. The freshman class coming in is, on paper, very talented and can address some of the issues from last year.
Some questions to consider
1) How does UND fill the hole at Center with Leet's graduation?
2) How will UND address the long-standing turnover issue?
3) What are the realistic expectations of the incoming freshman?
4) Who will step up and be the one to knock down outside shots consistenly?
My early expectations: Battle for the 3rd spot in the Summit, win 18-20 games overall, around 11-12 games in the Summit. Semi-Final appearance in Sioux Falls and an outside bid at the WNIT.
The biggest thing that UND needs to do is become a consistent program. Keep making steps forward and do not stagnant. The hardest thing for a program to do isn't to go from bad to good, it is to go from good to very good, and go from very good to great.
