The top five offensive performances for WSU this year:
Date | Opponent (kenpom defensive rank) | Efficiency |
11/21/08 | Sacramento State (326) | 133.7 |
2/21/09 | UCLA (44) | 127.1 |
12/13/08 | Montana State (236) | 120.9 |
2/12/09 | Oregon (177) | 120.9 |
1/22/09 | UCLA (44) | 119.8 |
Will somebody please explain to me how a team that is 102nd in the nation in adjusted offensive efficiency has been able to put together two of its five best offensive performances against a team that is 44th nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency?
Especially given our offensive performances against UCLA the last two-plus years (minus the insane end-of-game shooting performance at Pauley last year), this just defies all logic. If anyone has an explanation for our offensive success, I'm all ears.
