The last 16 teams to win the national championship arrived at the Final Four with an average winning margin of at least 10 points per game in their first four NCAA Tournament games.
Last season, Louisville won its first four by 21.8. Two years ago, the Anthony Davis/Michael Kidd-Gilchrist UK team was 13.8 points per game better than its first four opponents.
Tubby Smith's 1998 UK champs were 17.5 points better.
This Kentucky team has won its first four NCAA games by an average of 4.3. Three of its wins were one-possession games in the final minute.
The last team to win a national championship without an average winning margin of 10 points in its first four NCAA games was Arizona. The Wildcats arrived in Indianapolis with an average winning margin of 4.8.
