Top 10 Fastest Fast-Paced College Basketball Teams

College basketball is a quick game, and your team is going to have to be quick when it needs to be in order to survive the tournament. It’s no accident that the fastest teams in the nation, the teams with the highest tempo, or pace, are the teams that can score the most, and consequently, usually the teams that have the best record. Truly great NCAA hoops teams will be able to run and gun, score on the fast break off turnovers, as well as play good, fundamental half-court offense. These are the teams that the Final Four Blog has picked as the fastest of the fast. We basically used the raw tempo/pace data at Basketball Prospectus.com, combined with our own secret recipe. Enjoy.
