| My ObservationsDue to an unusual glitch from the software vendor that makes the channel guide for my cable company, my game did not record! Sorry, no observations or player analysis for this game. Four Factor Analysis- eFG% - 57-33% domination for Kansas. An advantage like this in the most important factor is the proverbial "nail in the coffin."
- TURNOVERS - Essentially a draw, as both teams had a high rate of TO's (KU 23% - BU 24.5%)
- OFFENSIVE REBOUNDING - In a disturbing trend for KU in road games, Baylor did a better job on O-Reb% (39-36%)
- FREETHROW RATE - 27.5-18% advantage for KU, as the Jayhawks scored four more points from the FT line.
What did the difference in this
statistic mean to each team? | Scoring Margin Advantage Gained | | Statistic Measured | Kansas | Baylor | | eFG% | 29.2 | | | TO Rate | 0.9 | | | O-Reb% | | 0.6 | | Freethrows | FT Pct | 2.1 | | | FT Attempts | 1.9 | |
CONCLUSION - This was all about KU shooting better from the field. Not having seen the game, I am not able to comment on why, but presumably KU was getting better looks at the basket combined with probably an off night for Baylor's gunners. Player Performance AnalysisDue to an unusual glitch from the software vendor that makes the channel guide for my cable company, my game did not record! Sorry, no observations or player analysis for this game. Pre-Game Keys to Watch For | | Keys to Watch For | Metric | Result | Edge (Comments) | | Baylor will fire away from deep, so they must make a healthy percentage to have a chance. | Baylor to shoot at least 38% from 3FG | Miserable 18% | KANSAS - Shooting was the key to the whole game. | | Rebounds and TO's are not an area BU will exploit when KU has the ball, so they must take advantage of the other two (FG and FT shooting) | Main KU shooters (Rush, Arthur, Chalmers) to shoot no more than 45 eFG% | 58.3 eFG% | KANSAS - The team shot very well overall. | | See above | KU to attempt 14 or fewer FT's | KU had 23 | KANSAS - Not that they did much better than BU, but this could have been a weak link for KU. |
