Once again, we were the nation's most dynamic offensive team. Only two teams in NCAA history have averaged over 90 PPG: Villanova '36 and, now, Villanova '37. We also broke the record for field goals made per game, which our '36 team set last year. (33.3 for 2037, 32.9 for 2036). Our offensive efficiency is 119.6, best in the country.
Our 24.3 assists per game is a new NCAA record, breaking the one we set last season. No other team in the nation averages as many as 20 APG. I love that about our playing style.
It's fair to evaluate our defensive stats in the context of the pace we're playing; I have it set all the way to 10. Our defensive efficiency was 93.6, which ranked 30th. Still, our margins look great because our offense was so prolific.
