Turnovers

[SmellyCat]

I'm sure we all heard NU won the turnover battle 17 to 3 and are among the best in the country in turnover differential.

It was not so long ago that a mediocre NU would have a decent lead on a better team in the second half and then just blow it because they wilted under the pressure, turned the ball over, etc.

My, how times have changed. Now a very good NU makes the OTHER team wilt, and it's not a fluke. It's a trend.

NU teams in the not-so-distant past couldn't even be counted on to the break the press consistently. Throw some pressure at them, and the turnover machine would start up. This current team is athletic and smart, and they keep their poise.

And that's against a hell of a defense - 7th best AdjD according to KenPom.

NU shot 50% from three tonight...

NU shot 50% from three tonight...

Maybe they should have shot their free throws from back there.

Well, they still were a little better from the stripe... But not much
