KU-Tech is another great example of the value in using tempo free stats.
With a score of 64-63, most people would think that this was a defensive battle, however the opposite was true because the game only had 54 possessions. Both teams shot the ball really well (both over 50% eFG%) and both teams really hit the offensive glass (both 46% OR%). As a result KU won the efficiency battle 1.19 to 1.17 points per possession. Scoring at that rate is extremely rare against a Bill Self coached team, they give up 1.15 or more ppp 2-3 times per season at the most.
