The forced TO rate is going to be key to watch moving forward. In a blurb on OU in his weekly Top 25 article in The Athletic today, CJ Moore (who is fantastic) wrote that OU and Memphis are both teams he thinks could fall back to Earth as the season goes on. But, he praised Moser for the season to date, and specifically pointed to how much more we are turning teams over this season compared to last. He said Moser seems to be using our speed to generate more TOs. I will be very interested in seeing how that looks once conference starts -- one of my biggest issues last year was that for all his "DCO" talk, and even though we seemed to have the personnel to do it, we very rarely pressured anyone or attempted to create turnovers in league play. I really hope he changes that this year. We all know how much our halfcourt offense can struggle at times. We need to try to get as many easy baskets as we can, and getting the guards (Fears in particular) in transition is a great way to do that.Our best 4, 3, and 2 man lineups with net ratings
