Team is good - league play is exponentially more difficult than out of league play. The rise to #2 was fortunate and I in no way thought that ranking was sustainable. Think that 20-30 is the right spot, right now. Have to learn to finish in close games and string good halves together consistently in the same game against a good conference opponent. This first half dud and second half on fire or the reverse is a recipe for disappointment.

The team has been way to loose with the ball - I've not tracked opponents point off turnovers, but even without that you know you're costing yourself opportunities when you just handle the ball like a slippery pickle or have poor off ball offensive fouls. When opponents shooting percentage is 53% overall and 50% 3PT like X was while UConn was 41% and 36% ANY giveaway possession will absolutely kill you.

Edit: note that our pts off turnover was much more efficient that X's in that game 18 UConn vs. 7 X - I don't have the data to see if that's an anomaly or usual, my guess it that it's unusual.
