The 20th -ranked Wolverines are still undefeated ahead of Tuesday ’s showdown with No. 7 Purdue.

Dusty May's team is one of the most efficient offensive teams in the country (23rd on KenPom as of Monday afternoon ) and the most turnover prone (332nd) in that category.

Michigan is 16-5 overall and 9-2 in the Big Ten, tied with the Boilermakers for the second -fewest losses in the conference.

Only 12 of the last 108 NCAA Tournament teams that have reached the Final Four did so while ranked 150th or worse in turnover rate.

Nearly 90% of those elite offenses landed safely within the top 150 for lowest turnover percentage.

Pomeroy: "You can still have a good offense. Some turnovers are not bad. And it seems like Michigan , their shot quality seems to be really good".

Michigan has averaged 15.6 turnovers per game, a tick above its season average of 14.7 per game.

May 's first team at Florida Atlantic ranked 303rd in turnover rate by giving the ball away on 20.6% of possessions.

May: "All parts of the game will function better if we just eliminate that one thing. We’re fighting it tooth and nail every single day".
