Interesting stats. Can't excuse the high number of turnovers committed, but I believe that there is a reason for the low numberNot a pretty sight, especially the turnover margin (dead last in the SEC 3 years running). We haven't just been bad about giving up the ball, we've been even worse when it comes to forcing other teams to give it back.

of turnovers we force from the other team.
It's the type of defense we play. We don't go for steals or traps excessively. While those actions would lead to more turnovers, it would also lead to better shots and a higher shooting percentage by our opponents, when the trap is broken or the attempted steal missed. Playing straight up means limiting easy shots and letting our rebounding and shot blocking prevent even more easy looks from lay-ups and offensive putbacks by our opponents.
Where do the LV's rank in defensive field goal percentage ?

Sad thing is I thought the point guard issue was solved. But last night I'm actually not sure that the issue was point guard play. I think the fact that she played so many players in multiple situations that the continuity of this team hasn't jelled yet.
I simply do not believe that you can maintain consistency on your team running players in and out, without a core five who receive a large chunk of floor time. Like Ohio State you have to have a core group and three or four subs that provide a break for the starters. The problem is KJH has coached that way for a long time. It worked for her at the mid level but has not given the same results at the power 5 level. It is up to her to find the cure for the turnover issues and find consistency, if not then she is not the person for the job.Sad thing is I thought the point guard issue was solved.
