Did continuity actually matter last season?--Mid-Major Madness
If ever there was a year that having the gang back would help, it was 2020-21.
Or so one would naturally think. The early stages of the pandemic had mixed abbreviated offseason practice schedules with usual roster fluidity to seemingly make teams as unfamiliar with each other and the way coaches around the country wanted to play as ever. That, at least, was easy narrative heading into last season.
But did roster continuity actually matter? Through a simplified lens, the answer seems to be “probably a little,” and that may be a good indicator of teams to watch in 2021-22. Before we launch ourselves into the fast-approaching season, here are the 10 mid-major teams that had the most returning minutes last year per KenPom’s Minutes Continuity stat, which determines what percentage of a team’s minutes were played by the same players as the year before.
Mid-major minutes continuity leaders in 20-21
Team Continuity Rank 20-21 KenPom 20-21 Record 19-20 KenPom 19-20 Record Loyola Chicago 11 10 26-5 (16-2) 101 21-11 (13-5) Records are hard to compare given the haphazard nature of the 2020-21 schedule when compared to the full slate that was generally played in the sunny, pre-pandemic 2019-20 season. But looking at KenPom rating, eight of the 10 teams improved, which would seem the natural result of a team that has experience playing together.
The real interesting wrinkle comes with the teams that made significant leaps.
And of course there was Loyola Chicago, which entered the season with big expectations under Cameron Krutwig and did not disappoint with its run to the Sweet 16.
