Updated net efficiency margin totals for Elite 8 teams. (Sweet 16 totals here and first weekend totals here.) Previews to come later this week.
Teams are ranked by combined NEM for all games played. Larger numbers are better for total and offensive NEM, and smaller numbers are better for defensive NEM. The last column measures the team's consistency over their tournament games; the lower the number, the less variance in their tournament performance and the more consistent their play. Shaded teams are still alive going into the Final Four.
