I looked at the box score for yesterday's Badger game. UW had only two turnovers the entire game, which, to me, is a remarkable stat, even if the opponent was Prairie View.
In checking further, both turnovers occurred in the first five minutes of the game, which means they went 35 minutes without a turnover. I assume PV played zone the entire game, which probably explains the lack of turnovers. Still, it is an impressive stat, and I started wondering if a team has ever gone an entire game without turning the ball over. I suppose it's possible, but I kind of doubt it.
If memory serves, I think MU may have had a couple of games in recent years with only two turnovers (maybe three).
