My Observations

Sorry, no time for observations or player performance analysis, as all my efforts went into the Florida preview.  The keys to the game below are updated, however.

 

Pre-Game Keys to Watch For
Keys to Watch For Metric Result Edge (Comments)
BSU must force KU into lots of TO's Kansas to commit TO's on more than 25% of possessions (avg game 70 poss = 17.5 TO's) KU had TO's on 27% of poss BALL STATE - This definitely kept things closer than Kansas would have liked.
Faster the tempo, the more it favors Kansas Is tempo <65 possessions or 75+?  Anything in between probably won't influence much About 63 poss BALL STATE - And it did help them make it a closer game.
KU will own the offensive glass, so BSU better keep KU's shooting percentage very low KU eFG% of less than 45% KU shot 46.4% eFG KANSAS - The 3FG's really helped this metric and KU.
