325
Ryan Nembhard's assist total this season, which ranks No. 1 in the country. It's the all-time single season record for both Gonzaga and the West Coast Conference.
13.2%
Nembhard has 13.2% more assists than the second-leading distributor in the country, Purdue's Braden Smith, who has a total of 287.
#10
Nembhard's current rank for all-time assists in a single college basketball season. While Mark Wade's all-time record (406) is out of reach, he could move into the Top 5 with a nine assist game in the opening round of the tourney.
92.9%
Khalif Battle free-throw percentage this season (117-126), which ranks third in the NCAA, and could be vital if the Zags have to hit shots from the charity line in a close tournament game.
32.4
Graham Ike's player efficiency rating (an advanced stat that attempts to calculate how impactful a player is in the minutes they play). Ike ranks third in the country in PER and is also near the top in other nerdier benchmarks like win shares per 40 minutes (fifth) and box score plus/minus (seventh).
1
The number of games where coach Mark Few decided to start both of Gonzaga's best big men — Graham Ike and Braden Huff. Unsurprisingly, that lineup worked out great, sparking the Zags to notch their biggest win of the season: beating St. Mary's in the WCC Championship Game.
22
The number of scoring droughts of 3+ minutes that the Zags had this season. If you've watched the team and been like, "Why do I feel like this offense isn't as elite as the advanced metrics say?" it's probably because when they're off, they're really off.
#9
Gonzaga's national rank both overall and in offensive efficiency according to the formula used by the prominent college hoops analytics site KenPom.com. (The Zags defensive efficiency ranks 29th.)
0-121
The record of teams in games where they scored under 60 points, shot under 10% on 15+ three point attempts, and got outrebounded by 15... until Gonzaga broke that streak with those dreadful stats in the WCC Championship Game against St. Mary's.
9
Consecutive Sweet 16s reached by GU. The all-time record is 14 by UCLA back when the legendary John Wooden was coaching the team.
4
Wins by single digits this season for the Zags (Arizona State, Pepperdine, San Francisco, St. Mary's), none of which came down to the final few possessions. The Zags haven't won a down-to-the-wire game all season. The other 21 wins for the Zags were by double digits.
