i think the offense is very predictable and allows opponents to gamble for steals effectively. i think during the end of games especially the cuse always goes iso heavy and stops passing and ball movement and that creates a lot of turnover situations. when the driver is shut off they have to get rid of the ball and defenders know that. i bet if you could isolate all the possessions when an SU player drives but gets stymied...the offensive efficiency on those possessions is dreadful. and the turnover percentage is astronomical. (fwiw i think BC defense is very good at shutting off drivers and guarding iso plays - much better than one might assume by their record and that is exactly why they had a lot of success vs SU)

also i think george is not that fast and is being made to be a penetrator by red and thats not his game. also when you have very limited guys like suaore in there - defenses know he will only set screens and immediately pass if he gets it...again, its easy to anticipate and go for steals. when you are playing 4 on 5 or 3 on 5 on offense...it really suffocates a team.

i think there is a correlation between turnovers and scheme and its not only on the players but certainly they obviously are culpable as well, and probably bare the majority of the blame
