Beav fans have rightly expressed dismay at Turnovers at this (still-early) point in the season.
Curious about Duke, so I glanced at their numbers thru 9 games - whoa! Assists 113, Turnovers 180, which is a 0.62 A:TO ratio (Beavs are at 1.34 A:TO). When the Huskies beat them by 7 in late November, Duke had 21 TO & 13 A.
Hopefully Beaver's solid defense will continue that trend come Thursday.
Because Duke had a recent game cancelled, by Thursday it will be 14 days since they've played a game.

Looking over the Game Notes for the upcoming game, interesting to see that if you remove Janessa, PM and JG from the A:TO stat consideration (since 1) they are not primary ball handlers and 2) they are collectively 5:25 in that department), we even improve more to nearly 1.6)........granted, we don't get to cherry pick like that, but it feels like we might be improving on one of "Achilles heels" of the last few seasons: TOs. Let's see if that is true at the end of the season. Am I the only person who likes to peruse the Game Notes before games? And the Media Guide on occasion? We all have our bad habits/obsessions, I guess..... Go Beavers! |

Duke has another significant problem. Their 3 point defense is ranked number 176 in the nation.

AND the Duke 'problem' (for them) continues v OSU: 6 assists / 13 turnovers. THAT is not a good situation for the Blue Devils. Not that I care.
