We've never really valued the ball well but we were able to offset it by excelling in other areas. Let's take 2008 for example: we were awful in turnovers (289th in the country). This was offset by being #2 in FG % and #14 in 3-pt % for an effective shooting of #4. We could shoot lights out so the turnovers didn't matter. In addition we stole it like crazy ranking 18th in steal rate.
The team lately has been turning it over but not stealing it or shooting well from deep. We were #187 from deep this year, that's pathetic. We cut turnovers down to #101 but steals fell off the cliff at #232. So our guards couldn't shoot, and they couldn't defend. Nice.
