I am annoyed like everyone else, but let's relax and calm down.
7-2 is where most people thought Dayton would be at this point in the season, only difference is losing @Vandy and winning versus Chattanooga.
Xavier and Chattanooga are not bad losses with Xavier expected to be top 25 RPI and Chattanooga top 100.
Still about #12 in RPI and #40 kenpom (probably projected to be 20 RPI at 23-7 or 25 RPI at 22-8 for the season. Dayton would be solid 7/8/9/10 seed right now if NCAA tourney were picked tomorrow.
Defense is ranked #30 in the nation with only weaknesses being 3 point defending where Dayton ranks #315/351 teams and creating turnovers where Dayton ranks #201. This is part of the defensive design playing the pack-line defense where weak-side help is mandated, but part just not closing out the shooters. 2015 Dayton was #27 in defense so I think we have played really well on the defensive end, giving up 61 versus Chattanooga is fine for example.
Offense is very inconsistent ranking #75. #282 in turnovers which is really bad & #283 in foul shooting ... O Rebounding at #172 and 3 point shooting at #172. A lot to work on from turnovers to 3 point shooting to foul shooting to offensive rebounding.
In Archie we trust.
