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 Kansas St.
Offensive Performance 133.4 131.5
Defensive Performance 97.7 95.8
ANALYSIS: Sizzling offensive performances from both teams coupled with only slightly better than average defense resulted in a thriller.  The overall performance (estimated by subtracting the defensive from the offensive) was essentially even.  Thus, KU won this game because after adjusting for homecourt edge, it was still the better team.
