Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4508326, member: 1329"] This bolded thing is certainly partly (or maybe mostly) an offensive problem. 4 of our 5 losses we've had turnover rates over 21% - 21.6%, 23.2%, 27.3%, and 26.9%. The Creighton win in the middle? 7.9% TO rate. A lot of this is matchup (Johnnies force a lot of TOs, Creighton very few), but we have to value the ball more. A high turnover rate will often present itself in stats as defensive issues, because the opponent is getting free dunks and layups and transition 3s the other way. However, it is also true that our 2 lowest TO% forced on opps happened in the last 2 games. I believe this is because we started going under more screens at the 3point line and almost exclusively drop coverage, because Johnnies and Hall couldn't shoot. We tried playing more solid/less aggressive D. But we're bad at that, because we foul way too much and our guys aren't as used to some of those coverages. And as a tradeoff we lost much of our disruption. I think we'll go back to defense 1.0 tomorrow against Butler. [/QUOTE]
