No turnovers are acceptable
-- Pat Summit--
To me, 3 turnovers a game is not bad, especially when a team runs. How many turnovers per game is acceptable to you from an individual and team perspective?
So 16.6 is #221. But LSU avg 16.9 and they were #212. I’m not the smartest person in the world but....NCAA College Women's Basketball DI current team Stats | NCAA.com
The Lady Vols averaged 16.6 turnovers per game which put them at #221 in D1. The lowest average of teams that played more than 20 games was 10.2 turnovers per game.
The SEC schools better than the LV's:
Arkansas (10.8) which was good for #3 nationally
Kentucky (12.6) (#23)
Alabama (13.6) (#48)
South Carolina (14.1) (#69)
Mississippi State (14.4) (#86)
Florida (14.5) (#87)
Texas A&M (14.6) (#97)
Missouri (14.9) (#114)
Auburn (15.3) (#147)
Ole Miss (16.3) (#203)
LSU (16.9) (#212)
If the Lady Vols could reduce turnovers per game by 5 they are in the top 10.
The teams left standing the longest averaged:
Louisville (12.0)
Maryland (12.0)
Arizona (12.1)
Stanford (12.8)
NC State (12.9)
UConn (14.1)
Baylor (16.0)
It is not the quantity of turnovers - it is the ratio to assists that is the important stat. A 2/1 ATO is the least you would accept. The quantity depends on the pace of your play. If you want to walk - there are fewer opportunities to turnover. If you run or play read-react you will have turnovers. Also not all turnovers are the same. While every turnover costs an opportunity to score, some are caused by bad choices or trying to play too fast. Those need to be cleaned up.
