4 turnovers

This stat really sticks out to me, it's incredible. In a pressure packed situation against a high quality opponent in new arena far from home in the national semi finals and to only turn the ball over 4 times is insane.

For comparisson in Uconns other national semi final games these are the number of turn overs:

Ohio state 1999 - 14
Duke 2004 - 18
MSU 2009 - 16
Kentucky 2011 - 15
Florida 2014 - 13
Miami 2023 - 15

At least 3x more and sometimes 4x or 4.5x more..wild! Kudos to Bama, just 8 turn overs, both teams really took care of the basketball. Cleanly played game.

Far from a perfect game but some parts were magnificent.

We will never see a perfect game but in some aspects, like turn overs it was as close to perfect execution as you can get. Not many teams, historically could withstand 8-11 three point shooting in 20 minutes and not only did they, but won going away by double digits. This team is crazy!

That's how you stay in a game where opponents are lights out from 3.

Exactly! In a national semifinal, to have only 4 turnovers, versus 20 assist, is incredible.
