Stop - Thief!

Coming into tonight, SU was averaging 9.1 steals per game. Like the olden days! That number goes up since we tallied 11 steals against the ducks - fueled by Judah and Maliq's 4 steals apiece. Steals = extra possessions = possibility to get numbers out on the break = easier chances to convert = less chucking = better hooping.

That is a great post, Tee! I knew immediately what it was about. This one of the most fun aspects of watching the team. If only we can do it against the Dukes and Carolinas!

Malik is amazing at poking balls away from defenders for turnovers.

That’s what the defense was missing the last few seasons, steals (and blocks).

I think a lot here will be surprised that SU was second in the ACC in steals last season and ... also second in the ACC so far this season.

Hoops IQ. He's a half step ahead, because he has a good understanding of what to do / where to go. That's why he's always in the right place at the right time.

MalIQ.

Color me surprised

Bet that fast break/dunk per steal is higher this season, though?!

He pokes things well
