I know this is a little late and we have 2 nice road wins in the interim but 2 key observations: we are very young and now play no seniors with Brooks out.
And second, we are just not that athletic. Skilled yes, athletic no. Boulder I think asked in another thread if we were slow. Yes!!! We are very slow. Even Fletcher who despite his supremely talented ability to shoot the basketball and score is just a very average D-1 athlete. We have to work so very hard and put forth exceptional effort on the defensive end. So when we get a little tired, we lose our ability to hit threes (the centerpiece of who we are) and get stops. As for the turnovers, that is youth and being tired. We are a tired basketball team right now.
