How do we continue to have this amount of turnovers after this many games into the season. Is it we don’t work on pressure defense bringing the ball up and continue to make poor passes, and finally how many travels with the ball.  This has to go to the head coach and her offense philosophy and what she expects in executing the offense. I come to conclusion because we have gone through at least three groups of players with same results under Mallory. I have hoped Mallory would turn corner we would start playing smart and fundamental type of game. Jordy Collin’s was hired at about same time Mallory was hired who’s program is better now very little doubt he has brought his program to second in Summit behind SDSU. I look at roster we have, and the talent we have we should be playing with NDSU not playing to four or five in the Summit. The question is do you think Mallory can turn the corner and become coach people thought she could become when she hired. I have been flipping on this question myself and knowing that this group I believe has been working on this and I see step or two ahead then we go back step or two. But my patience is wearing thin and I believe we should be one of the top schools in women’s basketball if Roebuck had been coach now he would have not put up this kind of play.

We lose 82 - 63

drake beat us by 48 last year 

Drake had 25 assists and we had three

mathern played 13 minutes and looked like she belonged 

hurst only got in with less than five minutes left in the game - leg must still be bothering her 

Piekey was three for three from the three

we ended up with 21 turnovers with Schiller and aumer with eleven of them 

Drake was raining threes but they also took it to us underneath 

Demers had 13 rebounds but struggled from the field shooting 3-13 from underneath - she backed her gal down but had trouble finishing - will really help once she can finish and draw fouls 

overall after being down 20-2 to start we battled - could have been closer if Drake wasn’t hitting so many threes (13)

 I was entertained

 I. The problem again is turnovers we had 21 and it resulted in 32 points off turnovers and somebody mentioned NDSU against Drake they only had 10 turnovers and they are just as young a team as we are. It’s not just number of turnovers but it’s  point differential between  us and opponents. This is why we need to take care of ball because Drake had 32 points off turnovers out of 82 points  for 39% of their points. I get it Mallory wants to play up tempo but you also need to play under enough control to limited number of turnovers. If we don’t get handle un this we are not going to win many games.

Mathern looks like another positive to this years recruiting class she has length and has quickness to play at the D I. Peikny this year recruiting class she looks to be good recruit again has some length and again has quickness.Schiller top recruit this year also has this quickness and Volmer also has quickness  to play guard. This group with Sophomores of Pemberton, Ibrahim and Horne make for good future for this team  What they need isanother couple of bigger post players to help control in paint. Demers I think will get better but she needs to work on getting herself better body position when she is smaller than her opponent and experience will correct this.

At least Mal acknowledged the turnovers problem at the press conference after the bethel game. Problem is she doesn’t have a quick fix she says. Individual focus - how can we continue to have players who turn it over at an unacceptable rate? Looks like bad decisions and sloppiness account for more than they should. 
lets hope they figure it out - won’t be successful when over 30% (over 40% at times) of your possessions are turned over

This wasn't impressive at all. We should beat these teams by 20 or more.  We need to stay with D1 teams.  Let's see how we do against Mayville this year 

Mayville not as good this year so we will win. Although, last years Mayville team would have had a good shot to win again.

It's the unwarranted, unchallenged ones I hate. No D pressure but scared players crumble.
