What Is The Ceiling For A Defense-First Offensively-Challenged Team?

Four seasons into the Mike White era it’s easy to see his identity as a head coach and it’s a defense-first mentality geared towards suffocating an opponent when they have the basketball. Each season so far in his tenure has seen the Gators be significantly better on the defensive side than the offensive one and if you go back to his time at Louisiana Tech only one season out of four saw the Bulldogs be more efficient offensively than defensively.

Using KenPom’s adjusted offensive and adjusted defensive efficiency stats (which I will be referencing moving forward in this article) here are where the Gators have sat nationally over the last four seasons.
