The raw numbers are irrelevant. What matters is the percentage. 19 across 87 = 21.8% Last year, only 13.1% of possessions ended with a turnover. From what I recall, some of the turnovers were in garbage time (box score says Fabgemi had 2). Tomi: 7 ast, 2 tov ✅ Andrej: 4 ast, 2 tov ✅ Brown: 5...

Reason for optimism against Texas Tech: 1) Illinois is the tallest team in the country. TTU is one of the smallest teams in the P5. They only have 1 player over 6”8 that’s set to play significant minutes. ..... 2) That difference in height could show up on the glass. TTU was an average...

Yes, we have a game @Wisconsin, which feels like a concerning game in regards to the officiating.

Kenpom has it at 112 / 87. Torvik has it at 112 / 87. So those are the sources I'd stick to.

My ONLY concern would be turnovers. It's probably been my only offensive concern since the summer. Turnover rate: The KJ team finished 93rd. Last year's team was 8th. I think this team might be outside the top 100.

We scored 1.29 points per possession. 112 / 87.

For the 2nd consecutive game, 100% of Illinois shots were below the FT circle OR from 3.

DGL today against Bethune-Cookman: 25pts on 7-14 FG.

The 2025 team played very fast. 15th in the country in possessions / 40min. He barely got minutes on that team, and our staff doesn’t seem to love small guards.

21.8% of our possessions ended with a turnover. Definitely something to clean up.
