Who gets more tonight.....?

If this team has more turnovers than Alcorn State has points (since our defense is still pretty bad), then the entire staff should be fired on the spot.  Oh, and it would mean a horrifically bad loss.

Or some of the best defense we've ever seen. I mean, think about how we can hit this weird mark:

 

Turn the ball over a ridiculously high amount, like, 70 times. I think that might be literally impossible unless we had magnets inserted into our hands with the opposite polarity of a magnet in the ball.

 

Turn the ball over a standard or slightly higher amount and suffocate them on defense. The analysis is the same for both higher than average and average numbers of turnovers. Even if Alcorn only had possessions off turnovers, we would have to hold them to under 1 point per possession. Any additional possessions pushes that number lower. A game where a team turns the ball over more than the other team can score would be far and away one of the best defensive performances ever recorded in college basketball.

Yeah, it'd either be one of the best defensive performances ever or one of the worst offensive.  Both are about equally unlikely.
