Fun facts from Jay Bilas: These four squads are the top four teams in the KenPom efficiency ratings (the most digestible analytics for fans) and have a combined record of 135-16. All four teams are rated in the top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency, which is amazing and unusual. Better still, these four teams are each among the top 10 most efficient in the history of KenPom ratings, available since 1997. Duke is No. 2 all time, Houston No. 6, Florida No. 8 and Auburn No. 10. That is all time.
It’s gonna be one helluva Final Four. Quite a few experts are picking the Coogs over Duke and think Houston can win it all. I like Cooper Flagg but can’t root against my Coogs.
And we saw the game to prove how amazing it was to get to the title game!!! Duke was really good, a tip of the hat to that squad, but the Cougar defense wore out Duke. Simply put, Go cougars!!!
