Message: [QUOTE="Billy Jack, post: 4529746, member: 4173"] This is actually quite scary. Marquette is one of the absolute best in the country at turning teams over, so maybe it’s a one off thing. But if it’s not corrected, it can be our undoing - and was in our losing stretch. Quite frankly, the biggest difference between the 2 teams was 3-point shooting: UConn - 12-23, 52% Marquette - 5-21, 24% It’s hard to maintain consistent 3-point shooting unless you have a lot of 3-point shooters, which we don’t. Tonight 11 of our 12 3’s were made by 3 guys, one of whom was Alleyne and he’s not normally in the picture. We outscored them by 21 on 3’s in a game which we won by 15 points. They made only five 3’s on which they shot just 24%. On a more normal night n we don’t have such an enormous advantage in 3-point scoring, those turnovers would put us in serious trouble. We must get the turnovers under control if we’re going to be successful the rest of the way. [/QUOTE]
