Hard to stuff any more in, but how about this one? Maybe the most amazing stat of all for this powerhouse ballclub is that despite being the leading-scoring team in the country, they shoot the fewest 3-pointers of just about any team around.

The March Madness tournament for the Owls has been successful so far. They won their first-round game, defeating Waubonsee 81-59, and then notched a thrilling second-round victory over Black Hawk College from Moline, 73-64. To that note, the Oakton squad played their friends from Milwaukee earlier in the season and lost, but only by a score of 71-64 -- a far cry from last year's humiliation.
