20 wins with 10 days to go in February

Marquette turned us over 16 times in the first game and 17 in the second.

In the game we won, we made 12-23 threes. In the game we lost, we made 6-22.

If we play them again, and they turn us over 16-17 as per usual, how confident are you that we’re gonna overcome it by shooting 55% from three?

Not saying it’s not a problem but doesn’t Marquette average about 16 forced TOs a game for the season? I recall them being in the top ten in the country for that at one point. Point being they are more the exception than the rule in the country in being able to force TOs.


UConn on the other hand has a lot of unforced TOs. I think UConn had three on dump off passes today at least.

In our losses, our turnover rate is over 20%. Between one in four and one in five of our possessions end in us giving the ball away. I think that is a problem. Some of these other folks are mad at me for it.

I get your concern, but taking stats from losses is a little too cherry-picky for me. You don't say we played badly in our losses?

At times it's been an issue, but the way I look at it every team in the top 15 of the sport has flaws. 16 turnovers against a good pressure defense isn't ideal but it isn't awful.

Newton is the solution. He came out very docile today. Just sort of floated for the first ten minutes.

Again. Confusing

If you are an opposing coach with a pinch of talent and a half a brain and you look down the court and see Dan Hurley in March, you are NOT nervous. That’s what I have learned.

Now look what you’re doing. You just sent Hurleyman into a tantrum.
