Here’s the criteria to reach the final four:

1. Defensive efficiency ranking of 25 or better

2. Offensive efficiency ranking of 50 or better

3. RPI ranking of 27 or better

Team O Efficiency D Efficiency RPI
Duke 1 8 2
Kansas 2 2 4
Purdue 22 9 5
Syracuse 8 14 7
Georgetown 39 21 12
Texas 17 4 14
Wisconsin 20 10 15
Brigham Young 9 20 22

Once a team reaches the final four, offensive efficiency becomes much more important.

National championship criteria:

1. Defensive efficiency ranking of 16 or better

2. Offensive efficiency ranking of 4 or better

3. RPI ranking of 16 or better

Kansas and Duke remain potential national champions.

Team O Efficiency D Efficiency RPI
