While discussing the continued problems we're having with turnovers, Coach Archie mentioned we might have to slow things down a little to keep from throwing the ball away. That seems like a double-edged sword to me - if we slow down, we may turn the ball over less, but I would think it would put more pressure on shooters making shots at the end of a possession - and it doesn't seem like we're very good at that. I heard the commentators during the game talk about how Collins at Northwestern made a concerted effort to get his team to speed things up. And it's starting to show if you look at the pace data.
At this point, it's pretty clear we're going to turn the ball over a lot. It's also pretty clear we aren't going to shoot it at a high level. So, as crazy as it sounds, what if we sped things up on offense - A LOT?
