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 Port St
Offensive Performance
128.1 113.1
Defensive Performance 87.6 104.1

 Comments

As expected, a stellar performance for KU on both sides of the ball.  Portland State did better on offense than their season average.  But against KU's #1 defense, that won't look good.

 Domination in shooting is the big story.  FT's kept this from looking even more embarrassing for PSU.
