2. Are turnovers going to continue to be an issue?

It’s no secret that I have been very vocal, as well as most Michigan Basketball fans that the Wolverines have been turning the ball over at an obnoxious rate. Against Tarleton State, Michigan had just over 20 turnovers.

As previously stated, the main suspect in these turnovers has been DeVante Jones. He’s an elite defensive talent as well as an elite playmaker on the offensive side of things.

For whatever reason, he’s yet to hit his stride this season, turning the ball over, fouling out of games… Not sure what’s going on but I will touch on that shortly.

DeVante is not the only one turning the ball over, everyone in the starting lineup turned the ball over multiple times against Tarleton and against Arizona (with the exception of Devante against Arizona) This is an area that we hardly saw the Wolverines struggled with in the past years, but here we are.

I trust Juwan Howard to make the adjustments required to fix this issue. It’s a minor issue that’s cost them basketball games.
