Marquette Offense Posts 4 of Top 7 Season Performances

The following is the list of all Big East offensive performances against teams in the www.kenpom.com top 250 this season. 

Marquette's 96 point outing against Baylor in just 69 possessions calculates as the top offensive performance of the year based on AdjO (adjusted offense - points per possession).

The following are the steps to calculated this figure.

1. The Raw Offense is 1.39, based on points (96) divided by Possessions (69).

2. The figure is then adjusted by the opponent's defense. Baylor typically averages allowing 0.06 fewer points per possession than the average team. Therefore Marquette's total is adjusted up 0.06 from 1.39 to 1.45.

3. Marquette was at home for the game, and that helps a team 0.02 on offense and defense, so the figure is adjusted down to 1.43 as the estimate of how many points per possession Marquette would have had verses an average team on a neutral court.

Marquette's offense has posted four of the top seven offensive performances this season in of 217 Big East performances.

The worst (217th best) Big East offensive performances was DePaul scoring only 45 points in 74 possessions against Northwestern, for a 0.61 average. Because Northwestern is an excellent defense and the game was at Northwestern, the final AdjO is a bit better at 0.71.
