2015: 18.5%
2016: 17.2%
2017: 17.2%
2018: 16.3%
Clearly there's a trend here, but just as clearly there's something different about this season besides our inability to defend the pick-and-roll. Because it's been years since we were good at that, and this season's TO% is Duke's worst since the stat was calculable.
Seems like we did OK today against Clemson. 13 turnovers in what appear to be 50 possessions, or 26 percent. Is that what you got?
