Watched a couple of games on Youtube (Dayton, Davidson from their conference tournament) and reviewed team and individual stats from Sports Reference here.

First of all, team notes:

Games of note (deleted less notable wins to avoid being too long):


  • Drake beat them by 3 at home
  • UNI lost to them at home (not sure UNI had their full roster)
  • Maryland beat them by 6 on a neutral court
  • Mississippi State lost to them by 11 on a neutral court
  • NC State lost to them by 9 on a neutral court
  • Dayton beat them at their place by 2, then lost to them by 4 (tournament semi-finals)
  • Davidson beat them by 3 on a neutral court, then lost to them by 2 on a neutral court (tournament finals)
They had a couple of bad road losses, but overall have been very competitive in their league and against other solid mid-majors or mid-level P5 teams.

Davidson is in the NCAA Tournament and Dayton was one of the first teams out.

I've highlighted some key items where they rank good or bad:
  • They do not foul much (PF) or allow teams to shoot a lot of fouls shots (FTA Opponents)
  • They have a high assist rate (they run a 5 out Princeton style offense which relies more on cutting and passing than isolation)
  • They don't turn the ball over (don't let opponents get steals either) and they get a lot of steals themselves - in particular their 5'9" PG.
  • They are not a good rebounding team, despite having a 6'7", 6'7" and 6'10" front line
  • They are not a good rim protecting team either
