The two highest values drop to 0 -- and you have four starters with 0 previous minutes and the average drops dramatically.

Then try the next best metric -- players that played college basketball the previous season. Again, 4 from ND did not play the previous season, and a 5th didn't play 75% of the previous season, and the 6th barely played while recovering from being out the previous season -- and then missed the first half of the season being evaluated.

In short -- ND is the only team that had in effect zero returning players that played college basketball the prior season and 4 of 5 starters that had zero minutes playing for ND.
