| 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 | Villanova | Offensive Performance | 117.0 | 102.6 | | Defensive Performance | 77.1
| 85.7
| Comments KU didn't have its usual stellar offense, but it compensated by suffocating on defense even more than usual. Nova had a commanding defensive performance, considering who they were shutting down, while the Wildcats' offense was just a smidge above the average team. | 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 | Villanova
