[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 1003386, member: 4110"] I think the turnover numbers were a function of a lack of depth in the backcourt for GT. When it turned out that neither Terry nor Abrams would play, I don't think we had the numbers to expend the energy to create ball pressure. And our wings were simply not the sort of players to get into the passing lanes or belly up perimeter players. You look at a player like Gapare with his length and speed and think he would be a steals machine. Yet he created only 6 steals in 354 minutes of conference play. Similar for Reeves. One would think he has the tools to be a major disrupter on defense yet he created only 10 steals in 564 conference minutes. Gt had 78 steals in ACC play compared to 132 for our opponents. We also committed to staying home on three point shooters and didn't play much trap or help defense. So, we didn't get many turnovers from doubling or overloading. Then, this squad was just uninspired to go after 50-50 balls. This latter trait was, I think, the major personality mismatch between the players and the coach. [/QUOTE]
