These 7 college basketball teams seem destined for the NCAA tournament bubble. And have one of the best players in the country in Jordan Murphy. Minnesota still has to play Michigan twice.

Every national champion since Connecticut in 2014 has finished in the top 12 of KenPom's offensive and defensive efficiency rankings. Balance is key when it comes to winning at the highest level.

Here are five teams who are excellent on both ends of the floor.

Virginia

We know all about the defense. Virginia ranks second on that end and is its usual nasty, snarling self. Duke fared pretty well against the Cavaliers defense; that is the exception to the rule. Going into that Blue Devils game, Virginia hadn't allowed an opponent to crack 60 points in the new year.

But the offense is the reason to be more optimistic about UVA than last year. Virginia ranked 30th then — good, but not great, and we saw its inherent deficiencies against UMBC,

The Hoos rank third in offense this season. De'Andre Hunter's star turn helps, and Ty Jerome and Kyle Guy have improved. The Cavaliers still play at the slowest pace in America, but they squeeze every last drop out of each possession. Virginia rarely turns the ball over (it has the country's third-lowest turnover rate) and makes 39.7 percent of its 3s, which ranks 10th. That's a recipe for a great offense.

Duke bottled Virginia up by switching everything one through five on Saturday, forcing them to isolate more. That's not their game. Then again, most teams don't have the personnel Duke does. At any rate, it's worth seeing if more coaches will try switching against Virginia.

Hunter's health is one reason to like this edition of the Cavaliers more than last year's. But balance is up there.

Duke

This one is obvious. Duke ranks fourth in offense and sixth in defense. The Blue Devils are able to score every year, but defense has been an issue in recent seasons. Duke was outside of the top 50 in defensive rating last year until it switched to zone. But this is the Blue Devils' best defensive unit since the 2015 title team.

It helps to have two ace defenders in Zion Williamson and Tre Jones. Cam Reddish is just a notch below them, and R.J. Barrett is solid on that end. Marques Bolden has made big strides as a rim protector and Javin DeLaurier is a defensive specialist. Scheme is important when it comes to point prevention, but Duke just has better defensive personnel than it's had in years past. It shows.

And any team that has Williamson, Barrett and Reddish is going to score a ton of points. More of Barrett's shots should go to Williamson, but this team should stumble into 80 points every night. Its ceiling is much higher than that.

Michigan State

Michigan State is the hottest team in America right now, and Tom Izzo always seems to do more with less. This team has some nice players. But the Spartans had Jaren Jackson, Miles Bridges and Nick Ward in the same frontcourt last year and struggled. Two of those guys are gone. And Michigan State is thriving anyway.
