GoodGood Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Looking at the analytics, we are horrible defensively. EvanMiya has our defense ranked at 340 in the country. Reggie Thomas is our only perimeter defender with a positive ranking. Kind of fun the look at the analytics and see if they match the eye test. https://evanmiya.com/?team_ratings 3 Quote

Did a little reading: Collecting Data We have box score data available for every game played in the each college basketball season, along with play-by-play data, which includes substitutions. The possession by possession data is the main component used to drive our analysis. Quote
FSSD Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Interesting page - it would be interesting to understand the algorithm. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 8 Author Posted January 8 UND currently has the 355th ranked defense according to KenPom. There’s 364 teams…. In Sather’s 6 years here, his highest rated defense was 272. Brian Jones in 10 years of stats had 4 years below 272 with a low of 346 but he also had years ranked 135 and 157. Quote

SiouxFan100 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Between Omaha and us I would have thought UND would have been 4-0 in conference Quote

I resemble that remark but if it wasn’t for the older crowd there would be no crowd doubt the kids will show up, not the in thing to do Quote

If we don't inject some life into the program and get some buzz going, it will get worse. 6 Quote

If Chaves isn’t careful we’ll be in the same boat as USD and be lucky if we get 200 people at a game Quote

GoodGood Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I think we somehow moved up in the computer rankings. 280 NET 269 Kenpom. Must've been a quality loss! Quote
GoodGood Posted January 12 Posted January 12 8th place in the Summit League which I guess is the only rankings that truly matter now Quote
NewUndFan Posted January 13 Posted January 13 I dont know if anyone else listens to the Reaching the Summit podcast, but I just finished the episode from 2 weeks ago and I think they nailed UND. Defense is lacking, poor shot selection, team not jelling and coach not getting them the right plays. Until we get a change at the head spot afraid this is our future. 1 Quote

F'n Hawks Posted January 13 Posted January 13 2 minutes ago, HoopsFan03 said: Yeah that all sounds about spot on to me! All things we’ve had to deal with for 6 years unfortunately with 0 changes. Yep. Additionally, their inability to build off momentum is crazy. You win 7 conference games in a row last year (or whatever it was) but then falter a bit into the tourney and have an absolute meltdown in the quarterfinals. This year, you bring Alabama to the Betty, who is a top 5 team in the nation, and bring them down to the wire. One of the best atmospheres the Betty has ever had and they had a legit shot to win that game. Instead of building off that game, they haven’t looked the same since. Eaglestaff must have let the NIL talk get to him a bit because he has struggled big time since that game. 4 Quote

sioux24/7 Posted January 13 Author Posted January 13 It’s been super frustrating. I’m not sure how to really spin it any other way. I guess 2 of our 3 losses are to the current top teams in the Summit but both occurred at home and both were never really close. Quote

Should beat Denver and ORU at home. Could beat KC once. Still not ready to say Omaha is unbeatable (but their resume is pretty impressive so far). Not sure we can beat either SU or St Thomas. That’s about as positive as I can spin it right now 5 Quote

Popular Post Brim006 Posted January 13 Popular Post Posted January 13 Men's Bball = 1-3 conf and 7-12 overall good for 8th in summit currently Women's Bball = 2-2 conf and 7-10 overall good for 5th in summit currently Football = 2-6 conf and 5-7 overall good for 8th in MV Hockey = 7-3-2 conf and 12-8-1 overall good for 1st in NSIC, but bad non-con losses have them likely missing NCAAs yet again. Soccer = 0-4-4 conf and 4-8-6 overall good for last Softball 6-12 conf and 14-42 overall good for last Volleyball 2-14 conf and 9-18 overall good for last At what point does the pressure move to Chaves instead of just coach by coach? I'm not sure I can find a peer school with worse overall athletics than UND right now, and that includes last year and this year so far. 5 Quote
