Excellent game! Thanks Steve, you did a great job.
But in my opinion, the turnovers formula doesn't work good and maybe something has to be changed.
In my match against Illinois Wesleyan I have been shocked when I saw the turnovers rate between the two teams.
With all my respect from my opponent, I consider that my players are better to the turnovers skills than my opponent players, but the stats of the game looked horrible for my team.
So I will not try to make tactics and technical strategies for the matches anymore and to only glad by the game.
