Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4216212, member: 5823"] I wish I could relax but turnovers are and remain an issue for this team. Prior to Page's injury UCONN lost the turnover margin in 4 of its first 6 games of the season. Therefore the attribution of increase turnovers to multiple lineup changes is not fully justified. I view a team that has this many turnovers similar to the way I view a poor foul shooting team. It is a weakness that can be exploited and fundamentally requires individual correction. The most alarming thing concerning these turnovers for me are the ones that are not the result of the opposing defense such as traveling and offensive fouls. I realize that this is about the 5th time today I posted this but I remain concerned about turnovers for this team. I've read the thread that [USER=4]@HuskyNan[/USER] started regarding maintaining perspective as well as the stats you have included in this thread- I remain concerned about turnovers. One last point regarding your comparison to the last championship team, that team had quite a few world class defenders that were able to dictate pace of play and generate turnovers. This team has only recently had enough healthy bodies to be able to partially dictate pace of play. The real key stat that will make you want to reconsider that comparison is this: This UCONN team is averaging.1.24 less turnovers per game than the opponent, for the last championship team that number was 8.7. There really should not be any comparison with this team and that team's ability to take care of the basketball and get the opponent to turn the ball over. [/QUOTE]
