The San Francisco Dons entered the NCAA Tournament as a No. 10 seed. However, they gave the 2-loss No. 7-seeded Murray State Racers a run for their money, taking the favorite to overtime and having plenty of opportunities to pull ahead.
The Dons were led by head coach Todd Golden, and they had an incredible season in the West Coast Conference. San Fran finished 39th in points per game out of more than 300 Division 1 programs.
Kenpom did them even better, ranking them as the No. 22 team in the nation with the 41st-best adjust offensive rating and 22nd-best adjust defensive rating.
