3rd in the country in turnover %, forcing a turnover on 26% of opposing possessions
1st in the country in steal % at 16.4%
238th in effective FG% at 51.6
357th in offensive rebound percentage, allowing a second chance on 37.1% of possessions
154th in adjusted defensive efficiency
Basically, Missouri's defensive success is predicated almost entirely on taking the ball away. If you can manage to hold on to the ball, they become a bottom 1/4 defensive team in America. Not revelatory information, but does put some numbers to it.
