I haven't seen this written or talked about that much, but this team is (at the risk of jinxing it) on pace for what I think is an historically low turnover rate this season.
 
Right now they are averaging 10.56 TO/game (ESPN rounds that to 11 for some reason). Last season, a team that also took good care of the ball, turned it over 12.34 times a game -- about a possession and a half better per game.
 
Outside of that, I went through every Cuse team that SU athletics has a season box score for (back to the '83-'84 team) and none took care of the ball like this. In fact, most were at 15 or north of that number.
 
Now a lack of turnovers doesn't tell the whole story -- they don't necessarily make you a good team or even a good offensive team. But when you consider the troubles this group has had shooting the ball at times and rebounding at others, their ability to at least not give away possessions has been big.
 
Anyone know of any team prior to 83-84 that might equal or better this TO rate?
