I thought he took care of the ball better Thursday than I've ever seen. I only remember 2 TOs and they were both walks.

You're right. A couple mishandles at Marshall. I recall him getting some huge strips on Illinois' bigs early this season before the game got away from us. He does well with the bigger slower guys.
UAB's sinking spells of malaise have been marked by missed lay ups, missed short jumpers and missed FTs while giving up similar shots to the opponent. A lead can evaporate rather quickly in such periods if the opponent is making their shots.
Is such play perhaps the result of trying too hard to draw fouls rather than concentrating on making the basket? It appears to me that many such misses show a lack of "touch" so that the ball is shot so hard it goes over the basket or bangs off the goal for a rebound.
