15 UK Teams With Greatest Average Margin of Wins (My 2nd Favorite Stat behind Wins)

[dlh331]

Growing up in the Rupp era (which I did), it was obvious Rupp loved to just throttle teams. Pitino was much the same (and a big reason why I loved his tenure). With that being said, here are the 15 UK teams with the highest average margin of wins:

1. 1947 NIT Runners-up
30.3 ppg winning margin
Led Nation
#1 (tied with 1972 UCLA) All Time for college basketball

2. 1954 25-0 unbeaten AP#1
27.2 ppg
#1 in Nation
#3 All time in NCAA

3. 1952 AP#1, Elite 8
26.9 ppg
#1 in Nation
#4 All time in NCAA

4. 1948 NCAA Champs
24.6 ppg
#1 in Nation
#9 All time

5. 1949 NCAA Champs
24.4 ppg
#1 in Nation
#11 All time

6. 1951 NCAA Champs
22.2 ppg
#1 in Nation
#18 All time

7. 1996 NCAA Champs
22 ppg
#1 in Nation
#20 All time

8. 1946 NIT Champs
21 ppg

9. 1997 NCAA Runners-up
20.3 ppg
#1 in Nation

10. 2015 Final 4 38-1
20.1 ppg
#1 in Nation

11. 1995 Elite 8
18.4 ppg
#1 in Nation

12. 1993 Final 4
17.7 ppg

13. 1966 NCAA Runnes-up
16.9 ppg

14. 2012 NCAA Champs
16.8 ppg
#1 in Nation

15. 1970 AP#1, Elite 8
16.3 ppg

With the way Pope coaches, once he gets Elite talent I suspect we will destroy quite a few teams.
