Part of the turnover problem, in my view, derives from a general fear of shooting the ball.  Lou has no fear of shooting, but teams have focused on shutting her down (  Often double teaming her) . Edwards was draining outside shots early in the season, but now seems hesitant.  As a result she bull rushes the ball toward the rim, even when triple teamed. Nika has proven to be one of our more reliable three point shooters, but it is not in her mentality to be the team scorer.  Aubrey remains hard to predict. She still prefers  to be on fast break and head to the rim. And if she takes an early shot, and doesn't make it, she removes that bullet from her arsenal.  Caroline has been inconsistent.  Far too inconsistent.  The net result is that the ball is handled by this team to excess, which results in forced passes and turnovers. Needless to say, the shot clock continues to tick down and the pressure increases.   So poor shots are taken, poor decisions are made, and our offense appears chaotic and disjointed.  What we need to see is re-newed confidence. That is what this team now lacks.
