Final Four results sort of led me down a rabbit hole looking at some stats from this season. I was mainly looking at 3pt shooting because of how I thought it was the number 1 issue for Duke and Kentucky. Duke shoots them horribly and Kentucky doesn't shoot them enough (336 in the country in attempts).The teams they lost to are basically their complete opposites. Michigan State is 26th in the country in 3pt% and Auburn is 2nd in attempts. Here is some stuff that stood out to me (numbers are national rank):

3PT Attempts: Buffalo (9), Bama (193)
Assist/Turnover Ratio: Buffalo (17), Bama (275)
Assists Per Game: Buffalo (15), Bama (257)
FG% Defense:Buffalo (81), Bama (159)
FT Attempts: Buffalo (36), Bama (52)
OReb Per Game: Buffalo (22), Bama (84)
Scoring Offense: Buffalo (5), Bama (187)
Turnovers Forced: Buffalo (35), Bama (279)
KenPom AdjO: Buffalo (20), Bama (103)
KenPom AdjD:Buffalo (30), Bama (58)
