Arkansas dialing down turnovers in SEC play

FAYETTEVILLE — Eric Musselman's teams during his four-year run at Nevada were among the best in the country at valuing the basketball.

The Wolf Pack posted top-15 offensive turnover rates in each of his final three seasons, and in 2017-18 finished with the No. 1 mark nationally, turning the ball over on just 13.5 percent of their possessions, according to KenPom data, en route to a Sweet 16 appearance.

Turnovers, though, topped the list of concerns for Musselman in the early stages of his first season with the Razorbacks. Arkansas committed 18 in both exhibitions against Arkansas-Little Rock and Southwestern Oklahoma, and 21 in the season-opening win over Rice.
