what's ironic is the defense was carrying the team in the 1st half of the season.  on the internets anyway, the uva fanbase also can't help but point to turnovers committed as the flash point that needs correction.   
- we proceeded to have 2 of our lowest turnover days and lost both games.
- years that the hoos' won championships in 2019 and 2021?  highest turnover rate since tiffany arrived.
- it has been consistently between 14-16 per game since he got there.  i don't suspect it'll change.

what uva lacrosse is doing, maybe different than 'cuse or others -- is trying to get teams to play that type of game.  get them sped up.  get them to be taking the bait a la loyola marymount basketball years ago.  and the straight opposite of uva basketball under bennett.  strangling games and taking care of the ball.  it was very effective overall in his time.

what does that sound like?  well, it sounds like b1g 10 lacrosse!  what has worked in winning championships since the shot clock came on the scene?  well, low scoring teams have need not apply.

so i'm past the turnovers.  i get what we're doing.  lars' obsession with causing cto's on the 6 v 6 d end has ramped up it seems, and that gives me some heartache.  they don't seem able to or instructed to delineate at all and needlessly put themselves out of position and create offense.  but it can be enough of an outlier for an opponent to face (just like uva hoops) that it can be effective on the right day.

notre dame will know what's coming, come nc$$ time i'm hoping for a fresh new opponent if they get there.
