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.

 

 

  Ven Adj A Ven Adj B
Off Perf 106.8 81.8
Def Perf 73.8 87.7
Overall Perf 16.5 -2.9
 ANALYSIS: The bottom line here was that KU's net performance was significantly better than USC's performance was poor.  When KU had the ball, USC's defense was slighter better than KU's offense as compared to an average team.  When USC had the ball, USC had a very poor offense, but KU's defense was even more spectacular than USC's offense was bad.
