Average Turnovers Per Game, ACC Teams Since 2010

Have you noticed that teams seem to be committing fewer turnovers lately, that "ball security" is almost as big a talking point among basketball coaches as border security is among politicians?

Two of the ACC’s less adept teams, NC State and Wake Forest, played the other day, with the Wolfpack coming out on top 99-88. Sixty field goals were made, but only a combined 20 turnovers. Four games earlier NC State visited Duke. The teams scored 166 points (88-78 in favor of the Blue Devils) and made 49 fields goals between them. They combined for 17 turnovers.

A game that didn’t involve the Wolfpack?
