Tame the turnovers
App State enters Thursday’s matchup against Texas State with the worst turnover margin in the Sun Belt by a considerable amount. On the season, the Mountaineers commit an abysmal 15.8 turnovers per game, while only forcing an average of 11.9 turnovers per game.
Texas State, on the other hand, swarms on defense. Ranked third in the conference, the Bobcats commit as many turnovers as App State forces, but unlike the Mountaineers, the Bobcats force 15.3 turnovers per game.
Texas State is undoubtedly aware of this disparity, and will be looking to cause mistakes early and often.
