Data for Ball State not provided due to time constraints | My Observations Sorry, no time for observations or player performance analysis, as all my efforts went into the Florida preview. The keys to the game below are updated, however. Pre-Game Keys to Watch For | | Keys to Watch For | Metric | Result | Edge (Comments) | | BSU must force KU into lots of TO's | Kansas to commit TO's on more than 25% of possessions (avg game 70 poss = 17.5 TO's) | KU had TO's on 27% of poss | BALL STATE - This definitely kept things closer than Kansas would have liked. | | Faster the tempo, the more it favors Kansas | Is tempo <65 possessions or 75+? Anything in between probably won't influence much | About 63 poss | BALL STATE - And it did help them make it a closer game. | | KU will own the offensive glass, so BSU better keep KU's shooting percentage very low | KU eFG% of less than 45% | KU shot 46.4% eFG | KANSAS - The 3FG's really helped this metric and KU. | |
