I was so close to throwing my iPhone out the window of my car while listening to Ty & Dave. Within reason, this team could be 7-0 or at least 6-1. To me, it is clearly a mental thing. The Flashes have the physicality & depth to win these games. Mentally, I am not so sure, at least for now.

I wished they valued possessions a whole lot more. There just doesn't seem to be much concern about the careless turnovers. It's the biggest thing I miss from the JC era. Stupid turnovers bought you immediate prolonged bench time. I know that doesn't always work with some players, but we currently turn the ball over far too casually.

Agree ... to a point ...

Below 10 a game is generally the objective and 12 is acceptable ... Kent's high has been 15, which is not overly ridiculous, or insurmountable, particulary if other parts of Kent's game balances that out ...

The first few games of the season that was dominant rebounding, but now that is starting to fade.

Get that rebounding edge back under control and managing the turnovers as the team (guards) settle in should get that number down.

Look around the league other teams in a similar position with new or young guards (Toledo, WMU, Ball State) are having comparable TO numbers (and comparable results).
