Stephen F Austin leads the nation in turnovers per game with 18.4.
Chicago State and Utah Valley are also top 20 with 16 per game.

California Baptist is 2nd in assists per game with 19.1

Grand Canyon ranks 3rd with 46.9 rebounds, Utah Valley has 43.3, and CBU and Chicago State are both up there with 41 and 39.

As raw numbers, some of the WAC programs are putting up some good stats. However, there are a lot of stats that play a factor in others. Rebounding, Field Goal Percentage, and number of scoring possessions all work hand in hand. If a team shoots a good percentage and plays a slower pace, there are less total rebounds to be had in game. On the other hand, if a team keeps their opponent to a low shooting percentage, that generates more rebounds. I think rebound margin is a better indicator of a team's dominance on the boards.

Very true. All pieces of the puzzle I suppose. All the stats are enlightening, but what they are shedding light on can be more obscured.
