Inside the Numbers of the 2016 NCAA Basketball Championship

We started with 68 teams in the NCAA tournament, and now we're down to two. On Monday, just one will be left standing after the North Carolina Tar Heels and Villanova Wildcats battle for the national title.

Both the Tar Heels and Wildcats compiled some eye-opening numbers to get to this point, some that have carried over throughout the 2015-16 season and others that they put together over the last few weeks. There's only one number left that will matter, that being the final score of the title game. While anxiously awaiting that matchup, let's look at some of the figures that have stood out along the way:

1-1: Villanova's record in NCAA championship games. The Wildcats won the 1985 title over Georgetown and lost to UCLA in 1971.

1.484: Points per possession for Villanova in its 95-51 win over Oklahoma, its second-best effort of the season. The only time the Wildcats were more efficient on offense was in the Sweet 16, when they scored 1.559 points per possession in their 92-69 win over Miami.

1.6: Percentage of brackets in ESPN's Tournament Challenge that correctly picked this year's national championship game matchup, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

4: Teams to pull off the “quadruple,” as CBS Sports' Gary Parrish calls winning a national championship in the same season a team is the preseason No. 1 in the Associated Press poll, wins its regular-season title and wins its conference tournament. North Carolina was the first to do so (in 1982). Since then, UNLV (1990), Duke (1992) and Florida (2007) have achieved it. This year's Tar Heels would be the fifth if they can get past Villanova.

5: National titles for North Carolina, tied with Duke and Indiana for third-most. UCLA is the all-time leader with 11, while Kentucky has cut down the nets eight times.

5-1: North Carolina's record against Villanova in the NCAA tournament. Its last meeting was in the first round in 2013, which UNC won, and the Tar Heels also claimed victory in the 2009 Final Four, 2005 Sweet 16, 1991 second round and 1982 Elite Eight. Villanova's only tourney win in the series came in the 1985 Elite Eight.

8.49: Rebounding margin for the Tar Heels, 10th-best in Division I. North Carolina has only been out-rebounded five times this season, most recently in the ACC tournament final win over Virginia.

16.2: UNC's average margin of victory in five NCAA tourney games. Saturday's 83-66 win over Syracuse was its second-largest, topped only by the 85-66 win over Providence in the second round. The Tar Heels have won all five games by double digits.

24.2: Villanova's average margin of victory in the NCAA tournament. The record is 23.75, which UCLA set in 1967 over four games.

25: Consecutive points Villanova scored in the second half against Oklahoma. The Wildcats turned a 54-41 game with 12:56 left into a 79-41 edge with 6:53 to go. It was part of a game-defining 35-5 run.

34: Wins for Villanova, a school record and most in Division I this season. Last year's Wildcats went 33-3 but lost to North Carolina State in the second round, and they won 30 games en route to the 2009 Final Four.

44: Villanova's margin of victory over Oklahoma, the largest in Final Four history. The previous mark was 34, which Cincinnati set against Oregon in 1963 and Michigan State tied against Penn in 1979. No team had lost by more than 39 points in this NCAA tournament, and it was the worst loss by a Top 10-ranked team in the last 67 years, per Sports-Reference.com (via College B-Ball Ref).

50: Points in the paint for North Carolina against Syracuse. The Tar Heels have used their considerable size advantage inside to average 43.2 points in the paint this NCAA tournament, collecting 66 offensive rebounds.

57.3: Season two-point field-goal percentage for Villanova, second-best in the country behind Belmont (62.7 percent). The Wildcats made 24 of 31 two-pointers against Oklahoma, but only 57 percent of their field goals come inside the three-point line. That's 27th-fewest among Division I's 351 schools.

67: Turnaround in scoring margin from the first Oklahoma-Villanova meeting to the second. The Sooners rolled to a 78-55 win over 'Nova on Dec. 7 in Hawaii, only to lose by 44 in the game that mattered more. Per Ken Pomeroy, that's the largest scoring difference in a rematch "this millennium."

71.4: Field-goal percentage for Villanova in the semifinal, its second-best in tournament history. The only better performance came in 1985, when the Wildcats were 22-of-28 for a championship-game-best 78.6 percent against Georgetown to win the national title.

78.2: Villanova's season free-throw percentage, second-best in the country. The Wildcats were 14-of-19 from the line against Oklahoma and are 70-of-85 (82.4 percent) from the line in the NCAA tourney, including consecutive 18-of-19 efforts in the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight.

408: Rebounds for UNC senior forward Brice Johnson, a single-season school record. He had nine boards against Syracuse along with 16 points, falling short of adding to his school-record 23 double-doubles.

1,823: Career points for Marcus Paige, which ranks 12th in school history. During the Sweet 16, he moved past some guy named Michael Jordan.

1981: The last time UNC lost in an NCAA final, falling to Indiana. The Tar Heels won it all in their last four championship game appearances in 1982, 1993, 2005 and 2009.
