Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4191896, member: 7492"] The current limit on this team is the volume of turnovers they commit. Currently, it is 14.9 per game, last year was 14.1 per game (13.75/11.7/12.0 from '20 back to '18). Their Assist to Turnover ratio is not up to UConn standards and is currently 1.21 (previous 4 years were 1.45,1.36,1.68,1.84) and yes, losing Paige has created [B][I]some[/I][/B] of that. We still had 2 other experienced point guards on the team-Nika and Evina (don't even argue that Evina wasn't a point guard at Tennessee-she was) and frankly the rest of the team is not great at ball movement. The team average of 18.1 is our lowest in these past 5 years. Basically, this team needs to up its assists by 2 per game and lower it's turnovers by 2 per game and that would help quite a bit. Spacing helps, outside shooting helps and so does ball movement AND player movement. We did more of that yesterday and despite CW shooting 1-7 (3 pt line) and Evina 1-5 (3 pt) the rest of the team was 10 of 14 led by Fudd's 7/9. Side note-CW and Evina have never been a great outside shooters and both need to drive to the basket more, take the mid-range jumper and maybe dish to a big going to the basket instead of getting blocked among the trees when confronted.
