Gonzaga’s The Best Team in College Basketball


Open for Debate

First, offense. In points per game, they are 1st and in offensive rating, they are 2nd. It’s obvious to me that they are the top offensive team in college basketball. Their last 3 games they’ve scored at least 100. Their last 5 games they’ve scored at least 90. Competition is unnecessary in this instance because that is crazy numbers. Their FG% is an UNREAL 53.9%. That’s comfortably first in the nation. Their 3P% is almost top 50 in the nation. Their assists are almost at 20 a game, which is 2nd. They are the best team offensively in college basketball.

Defensively, they are 122nd in opponent points but, when you adjust for pace, they are 22nd. Being top 25 in offense and defense can possibly make you the best team in college basketball. Their blocks are 16th in the country. Holmgren is a great rim protector, which is shown in the fact that opposing teams shoot 42% from 2 point range.

They have one of the best players in college basketball in Drew Timme. Couple him with another POY candidate, Holmgren, and you easily have the best front court in college.

They are crazy deep. They have two real POY candidates plus a quality starting 5. All their starters (except Bolton at 9.7) average at least 10 PPG. Not many teams can say that.

Their 2 L’a were early in the season to Alabama and Duke. 2 acceptable losses. They e also blown out UCLA, 3rd in the country, and beat Texas Tech who knocked off #1 Baylor.

This team is the best team in all of college basketball. Prove me wrong.
