I will sneak in a BB post on the first half os season before Christmas.

[REMND]

Most likely we will be 11-2 after the St. Peter game. Kenpom has us at 24 with 5 ACC teams above us.

Here are UND's stats.und.com/sports/m-baskbl/stats/2016-2017/teamcume.html

Bonzie with his double double average is impressive. I think he needs to keep a lid on his 32% 3 point shooting.

SV (44%), RP (45%), Gibbs (41%) and Ryan (49%) are our best % 3 point shooters. Farrell and VJ are both under 40%. Ryan scores more points a minute than anyone.

8 man rotation and I believe that will continue.

4 guys in double figures and that should also continue. It is good because Gebens, Gibbs, Ryan and Pflueger can score as well.

Farrell has 72 assists vs 24 TOs in 12 games so far. A 3-1 assist to TO ratio is very impressive. So is 6 assists a game.

We are still growing as a team. Farrell and Pflueger have stepped up like we hoped. Gibbs, Geben and Ryan need to continue growing. Gibbs and Geben have been playing their roles pretty well I think. Ryan needs to get the rust off and play a more complete game.

VJ has been good but we expected him to be really really good. Hope we see it.

Very good first half of the season I think.

Going to need to pick up some quality wins in conference play. Let the two opportunities against Nova and Purdue slip away.
