Notre Dame-South Florida Preview - Feb. 11, 2011 - NCAA Division I Mens Basketball - CBSSports.com

...

This is Hansbrough's second season with Notre Dame after transferring from Mississippi State. The senior guard is fourth in the conference in scoring at 17.5 points per game and fourth in 3-point percentage at 42.0.

"We've figured out where to put him in spots to take full advantage of him whether it's playing off the ball when Eric Atkins is handling or having the ball in his hands and making decisions for us," Brey said.

Hansbrough is a major reason why Notre Dame's 10.8 turnovers per game are the fewest in the Big East. South Florida ranks last with 16.0 per game.

Ballhandling was a major issue for the Bulls in Wednesday's 59-58 loss to Marquette. They had 19 turnovers to overshadow their 51.1 percent shooting.
