Mid Major Offensive Efficiency

We’re closing out the week here with some offensive efficiency talk. Oftentimes the best college basketball teams in the nation are the teams that play offense the most efficiently. This stat conveys, on average, how many points a team will score in 100 possessions. Last season North Carolina, the eventual national champion, had the highest offensive efficiency ranking at 124.2. Other NCAA Tournament teams like Pittsburgh, UCLA, Arizona St., Gonzaga and Oklahoma were in the top ten. But what about the mid majors? Last season’s tournament was short on Cinderellas, so we’re going to try to give you an idea about the best of the small schools, in terms of putting points on the board. Here are the most offensively efficient mid-majors:
