Looking deeper at the impact of Alabama’s turnover spree
Live-ball turnovers, like the 16 at LSU, throws the whole ecosystem off balance since the defense is scrambling to cover fast-break situations and opposing defenses are then set for Alabama’s response from there.
Alabama is 12th of 14 SEC teams with a negative-1.7 turnover margin after finishing the 2021 league championship season No. 5 at plus-1.4 last year. The Tide averaged 13.9 giveaways last year compared to the 14.9 this year. Conversely, it’s getting 13.2 opponent turnovers a game after taking 15.3 a year ago when defensive wizard Herbert Jones was a factor.
“You can’t have guys who aren’t primary hall handlers turning it over as much as they are,” Oats said Monday. “We can’t have our primary ball handlers turning it over, either. A team as guard-oriented and as skilled as we are should be getting more like 12 turnovers, not double that, which we’ve been close to at times here.”
