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.

Offensive Performance
127.5 122.3
Defensive Performance 97.3 119.8

 Comments

Both teams did a stellar job on offense, which really doesn't say much about KU's defense, does it?

Starting to be a trend where KU takes good care of the ball.

 An incredible advantage in shooting percentage and FT attempts should do the trick for KU.  Shooting was the overwhelming key here, with a pinch of ball control and FT attempts.
