Offensive and Defensive Performance

 

Using the outcome of the game and the adjusted offensive and defensive efficiencies for each team, performance indicates (in PTS per 100 Possessions) how each team would have fared against an average team.  That is, KU's offensive performance is how many points per 100 possessions KU would have scored against an average defense.  This provides a standard performance we can compare across teams.

Offensive Performance

Defensive Performance 69.1

 Comments

Both teams played better on defense than they did on offense.  It's just that Kansas did so in a dominating fashion.  Sure Colorado's offense was well below their usual performance level, but KU's defense was even better.  When KU had the ball, CU made it tougher on them than the Jayhawks usually have it.

The overwhelming advantage in eFG% for KU was nicely supported with an advantage in FT attempts and OREB%.  No positive areas for CU in this game, really.
