NU Misc Stat Stuff at end of 23-24 Reg Season

[OurDecay]

Some may find of interest - nice payoff of silently compiling stats over the last few decades of a rough program I cannot help but love.

 

Note: these rankings are over the last 44 seasons (1980-present) and include the coaching tenures of Iba, Nee, Collier, Sadler, Miles, Hoiberg.

 

• Rienk Mast’s 7.8 RPG is the best for a NU player since 2007-08 (Maric, 10.2)
• NU’s KenPom rank of #32 would be their best final ranking of all time (previous best: #35 (2007-08)
• NU’s scoring differential of +7.5 PPG is their 3rd-best in the last 40 seasons, behind +9.0 (1990-91), +7.6 (2003-04)
• NU’s scoring average of 76.8 PPG is NU’s best since 1995-96 (80.2)
• NU’s free throw shooting percentage of .754 is their second-best since 1980.  In 2011-12 they shot .767.
• NU’s 12 conference wins is their second-most all time behind their 13 in 2017-18.
• NU’s NET ranking as of 3/11/24 is #37.  Including NET’s predecessor RPI, that would be NU’s best ranking since their RPI of #19 in 1993-94.

 

Double-Digit Wins:

• NU won 18 games by double-figures this year (9 non-con, 9 conference).  This is the most since at least 1980.
• The top 10 in double-digit conference wins:

1. 2023-24: 9 (18 total) *11 vs P6 teams*
2. 1981-82: 8 (12 total) *8 vs P6 teams*
3. 1997-98: 7 (13 total) *8 vs P6 teams*
4. 2017-18: 7 (12 total) *7 vs P6 teams*
5. 1990-91: 6 (18 total) *8 vs P6 teams*
6. 1998-99: 6 (14 total) *7 vs P6 teams*
7. 1980-81: 5 (7 total) *6 vs P6 teams*
8. 1991-92: 5 (11 total) *7 vs P6 teams*
9. 2005-06: 5 (11 total) *6 vs P6 teams*
10. 2015-16: 5 (12 total) *6 vs P6 teams*
