To determine how many games the team scored 72 points or more, we'll look at each point value from the last 10 games and see if it falls into the "72 or more" category.

Here are the point values in each of the last 10 games:
[tex]\[ 51, 70, 63, 59, 56, 75, 60, 55, 67, 64 \][/tex]

We will go through each of these values and count how many fall into the "72 or more" category.

- 51: This is in the 51-57 category.
- 70: This is in the 65-71 category.
- 63: This is in the 58-64 category.
- 59: This is in the 58-64 category.
- 56: This is in the 51-57 category.
- 75: This is in the 72 or more category.
- 60: This is in the 58-64 category.
- 55: This is in the 51-57 category.
- 67: This is in the 65-71 category.
- 64: This is in the 58-64 category.

Now, we can see the number of games that have 72 or more points:

- The point value 75 falls into the "72 or more" category.

We only see one game that falls into the "72 or more" category. Therefore, the total number of games where the team scored 72 or more points is:
