The Best and Worst of the N.C.A.A. Tournament

They’re all good. But they have contrasting styles and abilities. Here are the best and the worst of the 68 teams in the N.C.A.A. men’s basketball tournament.

It’s no surprise that U.C.L.A., the team of Lonzo Ball, Bryce Alford and T. J. Leaf, has the most high-powered offense in the tournament. The Bruins average 90.4 points a game and have scored 100 nine times. They average 120.7 points per 100 possessions, best in Division I.

Worst: Mount St. Mary’s, a No. 16 seed that will start in a play-in game on Tuesday, averages only 99.
