Huge downside for this team is unforced turnovers.   There were over 20 this game.  I think we averaged less than 12 last year.  And in the last few years of JB we were under 10.

Again, the unforced turnovers.  In early 2nd half we dribbled ourselves into a corner (by the SU bench) three or four straight trips down the floor.  It was Lampkin, Freeman, Bell and Carlos.   During one of these Red threw an apoplectic fit as he could not believe we are doing this again right as it happened,   Bell lets a ball right though his hands.  Carlos lobs a ball for an easy turnover.   Holding on to the ball in a set offence for this team is difficult.  It appears they are not in synch and are thinking though what they have to do instead of knowing what they have to do.

One positive play that occurred involved Carlos and Lampkin.    We get a missed shot on our end, get quickly to the offensive end.  Overload the right side and have Lampkin move to the left side of the lane.  Carlos, QUICKLY dribbles left and feeds a bounce pass to Lampking who makes a nice quick move and scores.    That is what I envision Lampkin to do in ACC play.  More of that please.

We finally had proper indiviudals be open for the 3 (Bell wasnt) but INHO Jayre Davis should not be the option to take a 3 at the end of the Clock.  This was happening consistently over the previous 4-5 games.

More Freeman please.   Coach Autry realized that we could not hold a lead in the 1st half with Freeman sitting on the bench with 2 fouls.  He brought him in and we pulled away.   Turnovers killed us in the 2nd half.  Unforced Turnovers.  No more please.

Also, watched the Louiville game on CD prior to ours.  Louiville scored something like 3 points in the last 5 minutes of the game to let their opponent claw back.  They had a double digit lead prior.  College BBall has become like the NFL.  Few horrendous teams.   Lots of mediocrity who can beat anyone and two to three superbowl contenders.  SU is mediocrity right now.  I'm bummed for real.
