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 | Tex A&M
| Offensive Performance
| 145.8 | 141.0 | | Defensive Performance | 103.2
| 101.0 | Comments Tremendous offensive performance by both teams but below-average defense. That's surprising, but it made for more entertaining basketball. The offensive edge goes slightly to KU, while the defensive advantage was slightly in TAM's favor. | Four Factor Analysis(Actual statistics moved to Game Projections table below) What did the difference in this
