Looking at Turnover Percentage

The college basketball season is long over, and there are tons of stats to pour over in an attempt to get to the bottom of just what in the heck happened. One of the best places to get NCAA basketball stats information is from KenPom.com, which the Final Four Blog used extensively throughout the basketball season. Let’s take a look at some of the offensive stats today.

How about turnover percentage?  Below we’ll list some of the “major” schools (those who are part of BCS conferences) who were the best in the nation at keeping control of the ball. Having a good set of guards is critical to this stat.  When you don’t make turnovers, you don’t give the other team chances to score, which should lead to more wins. Of course, there are many more important factors to winning as you’ll see. But we digress. Here are the best “major” schools at keeping control of the ball.
