| Comments and ObservationsThe postseason could not have gotten off to a worse start for Kansas than that ugly, ugly first half. But the Jayhawks did exactly what a title-contending team should do in response ... storm back immediately after halftime and basically never look back. Until the Jayhawks are challenged near the end of the game, I wouldn't be too worried about this team's mindset. And even then, only if it comes against a much weaker team obviously. 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. | (pts per 100 poss) | Kansas | Nebraska
| Offensive Performance
| 122.8 | 111.8 | | Defensive Performance | 83.4 | 87.3
| Comments When all was said and done, KU performed a little shy of its season averages on both offense and defense, while NU did slightly better in both. But KU was still the better team on both sides of the ball. | Four Factor Analysis(Actual statistics moved to Game Projections table below) What did the difference in this
statistic mean to each team? | Scoring Margin Advantage Gained
(not necessarily supposed to add up to final margin) | | Statistic Measured | Kansas | Nebraska | | eFG% | 3.8
| | | TO Rate | | 2.0
| | O-Reb% | 5.0
| | | Freethrows | FT Pct | 0.2
| | | FT Attempts | 14.8 | |
Game Projections | | Projection | Actual | Comments | OVERALL RESULTS | | Final Score | KU 75-56 | KU 64-54 | | Tempo (# poss)
| 65 | 60 | Kudos to NU's ability to dictat, especially on offense.
| FOUR FACTORS ADVANTAGES
| | eFG% | KU 56-46% | KU 51-47%
| | | TO Rate (lo better) | KU 24-21% | NU 30-27%
| | | O-Reb% | KU 35-26%
| KU 52-33%
| | | FT Rate | KU 28-26% | KU 54-14%
| Single largest factor in win was FT attempts.
| Four Factors Overall
| Every factor, even the usually weak FT category, are projected to be in KU’s favor. The eFG% advantage projects as the largest contributor to a projected KU blowout victory. | Sloppy play from KU was overcome by biggest factors - FT attempts and OREB%.
