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.

 

 

  Kansas North Dakota
Off Perf 110.8 99.8
Def Perf 89.1 104.8
Overall Perf 10.8 -2.5
 ANALYSIS: When KU had the ball, it was a little more of good KU than it was bad UND.  When UND had the ball, it was all about KU's strong defense.  Overall, UND performed a little better than season average rating, while KU did a little worse than its average.

COMMENTS: The single biggest contributor to victory for KU was its advantage in FT attempts.  Other than the FT pct, KU had the upper hand in all major areas.  It was a comprehensive victory, but it was not as dominant as it should have been (see performance figures above).
