I think it is a direct result of Frank and the Centers.  Boeheim has said in the radio shows and in pressers that his style hasn’t changed and he would like to push more.  Last year more by design because the team was so short handed.  Frank clearly by now looks more comfortable walking it up and plodding.  Not probing and attacking downhill weaving through guys like many fast PGs do.  The Centers plod too and have suspect hands.  I think we’re stuck with this more/less until the new backcourt next season and if we can get a different kind of Center in here.  They also have trouble rebounding.  Boeheim has seen enough follies in practice to realize most likely that it isn’t in the cards.  We won’t be playing anymore Arkansas States either.

As far as the cutting turnovers down theory.  Possible.  I don’t really buy it.  Time and time again these guys seem to be allowed to dribble around through their legs or behind their back out by the 3-pt line.  Coming off picks or curls.  Often unforced.  They lose the ball or get stripped and it leads to a break the other way.  It has happened multiple times in almost every game.  Not just this year.  Lazy passes side-side.  They don’t generally have enough possessions to truly do serious damage to themselves but it’s sloppy ball obviously.  You play how you practice, IMO.
