No doubt that Muhl played her heart out, this last game, and every game.  Absolutely a fierce competitor.  But the coaches will be considering the stats as do we.  Those show that team averaged 16.4 turnovers per game.  And it appeared turnovers worsened as the season wore on.  By contrast, opposing teams averaged just 14.2 turnovers per game against UConn.  And opposing teams averaged 14.5 points off UConn turnovers per game, compared with a just slightly better 16.3 ppg off turnovers for us.  Our assists were 18.8 versus those those 16.4 turnovers.  So the usually stellar assist/turnover ratio that is the hallmark of Connecticut basketball wasn't there this year.

Yes, the two best guards in the country were injured, while Ducharmes was injured and coming back slowly when she did play.  But the coaches will be evaluating all options when the new season comes round.  Will Muhl be starting PG?  Or Paige?  Will KK get some serious time to prove what she can do?  That's all up to the coaches.

But you can bet that those chronic turnovers, including the 25 in the last game of the season, will be uppermost in Coach Geno's mind to rectify next year.
