How Arizona compares offensively to past NCAA Champions
Only three of the past 14 NCAA Champions have a higher KenPom offensive efficiency than Arizona in 2025. Florida in 2025 with a 128.1 AdJoe, Connecticut at 127.5 in 2024 and Villanova at 127.8 in 2018 are the only NCAA Champions since 2011 that had a higher AdJoe than Arizona has in 2025-26.
Arizona is currently fourth nationally with a 127.1 KenPom adjusted offensive efficiency rating, which is points scored per 100 possessions. The Arizona balanced offense has significantly helped them during their 18-game winning streak. Arizona does not have to rely on one or two players to carry them to victory.
