Turnover ratios on offense and defense for the Men's NCAA Tournament field. Top-right is good; bottom-right is bad. As a Michigan fan, I can see why much of my feed is anxious about the first round matchup with UC San Diego. 😅

Updated adjusted offensive/defensive efficiency chart for MBB. Still a top tier of Auburn, Duke, and Houston. Tennessee and Florida just barely behind. Turns out, these don't change as much as dramatically as their football counterparts.
