Assist-To-Turnover Ratio for the Tourney

Ok, so I have a friend who posts here. His name is Big Sperm. He can't find his login info and he's to lazy to try and recover it so I will ask for HIM.

QUESTION:

Does assist-to-turnover ratio of guard play have a benefit in capping tournament games?

Yes. In order to win you need a great PG.

Thanks for the answer...However, yes I know you need a good point guard. But what I'm asking is; If one teams ratio's are much better than the other teams, does play a big factor on what team would more likely to cover a spread?

If you turn over the ball more than the other team more times than not you will lose. Thats why I like Pitt because Fields leads the NCAA in assist to turnover ratio.

ah, yeah. a lot of turnovers lead to points majority of the time. less turnovers on your offense makes your defense look better.

Guys, once again...thanks for the answers.

But, are there any cold hard facts that say something like; teams with a better assist/turnover ratio are 14-5 ats....or something like that?

Know what mean???
