They turn the ball over too much and they foul a lot. In the words of Mr. Obvious, that's a bad combination.
They turn it over because they're so often out of control. Coach
White wants up tempo, but you still have to play with some
semblance of control. This was a problem last year especially
with Harris. Like we're often saying about X, the same is true
with Harris....slow it down. let the game come to you, and
involve your team mates. She's talented, but White has to
get her to play in control. Her team mates for the most part
can't play at her pace, especially Hayford who tries to go
at that pace and ends up turning it over. She hurt the team
on both ends tonight.
Contrast this to Delaware who played through our overly
aggressive defense. They controlled the ball and got off
some good shots. I know we're young, but that was messy
tonight. Delaware has two players as good as any of ours.
I put a lot of this on coaching. We're not good enough to
play this pace against a team that's coached well...and
Delaware was well coached. They went to their strengths
and exposed our weaknesses.
ACC is a whole other animal then Delaware.
