It's very, very hard to lose games when you don't turn the ball over. It's why you see me talk about turnover stats after basically every game. Everyone understands the importance of turnovers in football. They're just as important in basketball.
Thank goodness we are deep this year. Still, the possibility of only Westin at PG scares me. I don’t think Alec is a PG, and Porter has done amazing at an off guard with scoring that I would want to keep him in that role.
I will admit this. There is some pretty good talent on the team. Have lead right now because of only one turnover half way through first half. That's one of the core problems with McDevitt's teams is carelessness across the board but especially with the ball. So, we will see what happens as this game progress and they regress to their usual selves. Remind you they played the first 10 against Murray pretty well too.
If he can get this team to commit less than 10 TO's a game I believe they can win some games. If. Especially since you're not going to shoot 64% for an entire game.
Turnovers is a good point. USF was 87th nationally (1st in conference play in the AAC) in defensive TO%. This year? They rank 253rd nationally.
When 3-point shooting and turnovers are the main factors for the Blue Raiders, thats not exactly ideal. Hope to see the same sort of toughness we saw yesterday.
MTSU has a current #83 who deserves an invite after all he’s been able to do as a Blue Raider while being significantly handcuffed this season. The performance vs Ole Miss early in season alone before we continued to spiral with injuries should speak volumes to diamond in the ruff!
