The men’s Final Four is here, with the nation’s top three teams on KenPom plus an unusual Cinderella in UCLA ready to face off Saturday with a national title on the line. Ahead of a big night of hoops, here’s one key stat to know about the four teams still fighting to be the last left standing in the Indianapolis bubble.
Gonzaga: 61% effective field goal percentage
The Zags’ effective field goal percentage this season is a blistering 61%, the best mark by any team in the last 20 years, per KenPom. This Bulldog offense is historically efficient shooting the ball, mostly because of how efficient its guards are around the rim. Jalen Suggs, Corey Kispert, Joel Ayayi and Andrew Nembhard all shoot better than 58% on two-point field goals, thanks mostly to Gonzaga’s elite spacing and ball movement. Gonzaga isn’t too bad from three either, shooting 37% from deep this season.
