Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4905133, member: 6620"] Ben Pickman of the Athletic covered this and here's his take (I've excerpted to avoid cut-and-paste guidelines of many blogs) [HEADING=1]Turnover issues? Lack of effort? Or just a coach’s rant?[/HEADING] - “If you don’t give a sh— then it’s hard,” he said. “We think of new ways to turn the ball over. We have turned the ball over five straight games on an inbounds pass after a made basket. It’s special.” He facetiously suggested that fining a player $500 per turnover could lead to changes. “I’ll guarantee you we wouldn’t turn that thing over one time. They’d care,” he said. “But they get all this good stuff, it’s all great, but let’s make it pay for play. The game will get cleaned up, I promise you. Our game will get better.” - "Cardinals players at the post-game news conference agreed on the importance of ball control — and playing with more spirit. “If we want to go deep in March, we know what we have to do,” guard [URL='https://theathletic.com/womens-college-basketball/player/jayda-curry-NaInujWUrSjehrRr/']Jayda Curry[/URL] said. “We have to have some personal pride, some team pride, and listen to our coaches.” - "...despite their 20-turnover, 9-assist performance on Friday, Walz added that he thought this season’s team could still reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. He’s coached the Cardinals since 2007, leading them to the Sweet 16 or beyond in 12 seasons. Louisville (24-9) is projected as an NCAA Tournament lock, possibly drawing a No. 6 seed." “Once you get (to the Sweet 16), anything can happen,” Walz said. “Anything can happen. It’s who’s playing the best that night and then what crew you’ve got on the game.” [I]— Ben Pickman[/I] [/QUOTE]
