[Charleston Pony]

23 assists vs 11 turnovers as a team is impressive. Love the way these guys share the ball and play aggressive defense on the perimeter.

Traore with 10 boards in just 25 minutes. Very impressive.

Boopie with 9 boards and B.J. with 7 is really impressive from backcourt guys

In these 1st 2 games, Boopie has a 4:1 assist to turnover ratio dishing out 16 assists vs only 4 turnovers. Granted, this isn't ACC competition yet but that's impressive. Harris, Edwards & Oquendo are all at 2:1 or better. Have to love those stats compared to what we've seen in recent years
