[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 788386, member: 2299"] That's interesting. While looking at the matchup I notice Loyola was okay but not great in TO% coming it at 18.5 for about 150th which is overall on the good side of center but still middle of the road. The overall numbers are probably low due to pace, but I do think there is an opportunity to get some turnovers. Of course not all turnovers lead to transition opportunities (nor do all transition opportunities come from turnovers) but we really aren't that much of a push the tempo off of made or missed shots. I went back and looked at our games against UVA who is another slow tempo team, and 15th in TO% at 15.2. The first time we played them on the road we turned them over just 9 times which is right at their average rate. The second time we turned them over 17 times which was by far their worst turnover rate of the year. If you get 65 possessions which is about the midpoint between our two rates, and turn it over at the rate you average it'd be about 12 turnovers total. If it's the rate we average forcing it'd be about 15 turnovers. Obviously turnovers aren't the most reliable stat and there can easily be outlier games, but I would expect somewhere in that neighborhood of turnovers. Now the key is will they be open floor turnovers leading to easy buckets, or dead ball turnovers so we still have to go against a set D. [/QUOTE]
