The four factors

Their strongest factor is offensive boards allowed — 23.7, 10th of 362.

Each bar is the team’s place among all 362 Division I teams, so a longer bar is better on both sides — even where the better number is the smaller one (turnovers committed, everything allowed). The tick marks the median team. Free-throw rate is free throws attempted per 100 shots.
