-- Javi is clearly playing better, and that's reflected in the above. It's nice to see him holding his own in ACC play. His assist rate is considerably better than it was early on; it's also higher than Degand's assist rate.

-- It's imperative that Fells, Costner, and McCauley start taking better care of the ball. Their turnover rates compared to last year:

            2007    2008
Fells       21.4    23.9
Costner     22.0    28.0
McCauley    20.2    27.3

As a team, we're turning it over 24.5% of the time, which is killin' us.
