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 Jackson State
Offensive Performance
102.9 97.6
Defensive Performance 83.1 93.7

 Comments

Somewhat mediocre offensive performances by each team.  The only excellent performance was that of the KU defense.

 TO Rate (lo better)  KU 25-22%
 O-Reb% KU 34-26%
 FT Rate JSU 39-22%
 Bottom Line
 Jackson State players must have kissed the freethrow line before leaving the court.  If not for their 9.3-point advantage gained from FT attempts, this would have been a laugher.  instead those FT attempts kept them in the game early.
