last year wherein B12 opponents neutralized, or normalized at least, Khalifa's exceptional and beautiful passing game.

AK continued to log his assists in conference, but at 5.6 times the turnover rate. Khalifa delivered 42 assists against only 3 turnovers in his 10 pre conference games, compared to 73 assists vs 29 turnovers in 16 Big 12 games. Actually not terrible, but nonetheless a cautionary data point.

Would rather Demin make the adjustment, reduce his high risk passes, keep his turnover rate low, and leave for the NBA as a higher draft pick than expected.
