That many turnovers in one game is suprising for a team this exsperienced. Disappointing, but I believe this will be corrected in time. A new system, with the game being away from home, combined with playing a solid basketball team, doesn’t always turn out good. That turnover ratio will at least have to be cut in half, if not more. Hopefully, it won’t take that long to turn around.
