Hasn't been a lot of talk about either.

NCAA RPI: Men ranked 17th, women ranked 29th. (link)

Some context though:
Women have lost to #7 South Carolina, #10 Clemson, #4 North Carolina and tied #16 Louisville

Men have lost to #8 Clemson, #23 NC ST, #1 Viginia, #19 North Carolina and tied #6 Indiana
From just a quick glance at UND.com

It looks like the men's team is having an awful season while the women are having a mediocre season. Neither squad is ranked and neither one seems destined to earn an NCAA Tournament berth.

But hey, maybe the perpetually underachieving women's Lax team will surprise us in the spring.

I don't think looking simply at wins and losses us a useful way to answer my question.
Some real insight there. *

I don't think the team has much offense beyond Jack Lynn but no bad losses so far. I thought they competed well in the win over Duke in awful conditions.
