Adj. to Opponent

Christian Braun: Produced over 17.5 more points than he allowed, while playing efficiently on both ends by limiting turnovers and winning possessions through rebounds, blocks, and forced TO’s. His opponent-adjusted score of +12.94 was the second-best on the season of any Jayhawk, only slightly behind his season-leading St. John’s performance.

David McCormack: Produced over 8.5 more points than he allowed, while winning more possessions back on defense than he used on offense. This high efficiency allowed him his second-best game of the season at +8.49.

Ochai Agbaji: Despite giving up 9 points on defense, Ochai came away with 10 possession winners (including 4 steals and 1 TO forced) to produce an overall value score of +4.54.

Dejuan Harris: Produced over 15 points, a career-high, but also gave up 12 points on defense against Nevada’s scoring guards. He turned it over twice, but forced five turnovers and grabbed two defensive rebounds, so was possession-positive. His value was +3.67.

Remy Martin: Produced over 4 points more on offense than he allowed. He forced a few turnovers and grabbed few rebounds to finish with a value of +1.96.

K.J. Adams: Assisting on a Braun 3 and a nice pitch-ahead to Agbaji on a fast-break (which the box score missed), Adams produced more points than he allowed despite not scoring himself. He had a miss and a rebound, netting to zero on possessions. His value was +0.61.

Jalen Wilson: Jalen scored 7 points and gave up 7 points, but since he scored two of his baskets on assists his point produced – allowed was negative. However, he made up for this by winning possessions from rebounds (8). His value was +0.24.

Michael Jankovich: Had one miss and one rebound, netting to zero. The slightly-negative score of -0.05 was due to opponent adjustment.

Chris Teahan: Had one miss. Value score of -0.51.

Jalen Coleman-Lands: Made 1 shot of 4, producing 2 points on offense. However, he didn’t give up any points on defense, making up some ground for his poor offensive efficiency. Value score of -0.60.

Zach Clemence: Gave up 3 more points than he produced, fouling three times in his 5:11 of floor time. He grabbed a couple boards as well. Value score of -1.21.

Mitch Lightfoot: Gave up nearly 4 more points than he allowed in 10:16 of floor time. Possessions were also on the negative side, with his 3 turnovers driving his score down. Value score of -4.35.

Joseph Yesufu: Gave up 6 points in only 5:20 of floor time, while turning it over twice on offense. Value score of -5.68.

TEAM: Offensive efficiency of 1.14, Defensive efficiency of 0.79. Value score of +20.05 was the second-best on the season (behind the Missouri game).
