24: Arizona’s turnoversWhile Lloyd’s fretting over this was understandable — the Wildcats never gave up more than 22 turnovers last season and averaged 13.4 — that, too, was pace-dependent. “Obviously, we love attacking high-low and playing inside. I think some of our turnovers tonight were in our high-low actions, and we could probably get a little more patient — look at that, figure out where the help’s coming from and skip to the open guy.”
