handicapping question

Some of you do this for a living, so I thought I would try to get someone's opinion on this. I was thinking about tracking teams turnovers in each game. Maybe someone has had experience with this before. If a team commits say 17 or more turnovers in back to back games, are they more likely to be more conservative with the ball next time out? If so, is this a worthwhile angle to take in looking for Under bets in hoops?

If anyone has played with this before, what parameters did you use in terms of the number of turnovers and the number of consecutive games in which that team committed those turnovers?

Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to shed some light on this for me.

Haven't really looked into it in detail. But doesn't seem to have much of a correlation. Might have to study the coach more than the situation. Alot of teams that turn the ball over do so because they are pushing the ball hard. Kansas' last two games for instance would fit your scenario of coming of 17+ turnover games. And they put up 105 both times.

Good point. I didnt think of it that way. I am just trying to keep the hamster running in the wheel....looking for an angle to play some of the conferences I dont follow that closely.
