Wisconsin Had the Best Defense in 2007

The Wisconsin Badgers allowed an average of 54.4 points per game from their opponents in 2007, by far the fewest in NCAA basketball in 2007. But how did the other teams rank? How good were the UCLA Bruins at keeping their opponents at bay? Are there any no-name teams near the top of the list?

We’re pulling some of our data from the National Team Scoring Defense Leaders list at cstv.com, a great place to get college sports news and info. Our list combined their list with our own secret criteria, which includes elements of strength of schedule and our own team biases here at the Final Four Blog. Anyway, here is our list:
