UConn ranks 4th overall at KenPom and sixth in adjusted offensive efficiency, averaging 78.5 points per game after playing a challenging conference schedule. The Gaels blew through the MAAC Tournament and easily grabbed the championship win. Rick Pitino’s Iona team ranks 74th overall at KenPom, but their strength of schedule does not crack the top 250.
