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 Alcorn State
Offensive Performance
104.5 47.0
Defensive Performance 49.1 97.3

 Comments

When Alcorn St. had the ball, it was absolute bloody murder.  This was a product of both KU's outstanding defense and Alcorn State's abysmal offense.
