College Basketball: One Key Stat for Each Top-25 Team

Teams Ranked 20th to 16th

20. Florida State Seminoles - The Noles' 84.7 points per game rank 17th in the country. All of their losses have come by seven points or fewer, yielding an average margin of defeat of just 4.7 points.

19. Saint Mary's (CA) Gaels - The fourth-most efficient offense, according to Kenpom, also plays at the country's fourth-slowest pace. The Gaels succeed this way because they lead the country in field goal percentage and rank third in true shooting percentage -- a measure that takes twos, threes, and free throws into consideration.

18. Wichita State Shockers - Much of Wichita State's success can be attributed to their scoring and rebounding. The Shockers rank 24th overall with 83.3 points per game while grabbing 57.3 percent of available rebounds, the third-best mark in college basketball.

17. Clemson Tigers - The Tigers rank 13th in defensive efficiency, holding teams to just under 66 points per game. The catalyst here is rim protection, with Clemson ranking inside the top 30 in shots blocked and personal fouls.

16. Nevada Wolf Pack - Nevada's disciplined offense has led them to a 20-4 start. The Wolf Pack rank 5th in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.62), while attempting nearly 24 free throws per game (24th in the nation). This adds up to them ranking 26th in scoring offense with 83.1 points per game.
