Don’t Force Many Turnovers

I know FSU basketball fans read that and started smiling. Turnovers have been the Achilles heel of this team over the last month.

That aspect cost the Noles the ACC Regular Season and ACC Tournament titles. However, when it comes to turnovers, the Michigan Wolverines don’t force a ton of them.

In the four losses, opposing teams only had 38 turnovers, which equates to 9.5 turnovers per game.

Michigan averages 4.4 steals and 4.3 blocks this year, but the Noles are much more disruptive. FSU averages 7.1 steals and 5.1 blocks on the year.

The catch to that is Michigan doesn’t foul nearly as much as the Noles, so FSU needs to attack instead of settling for jump shots.

That’s something FSU has a propensity to do for stretches in games, and they need to avoid that at all costs.
