What looked like a blowout at half turned into a pretty close game. Sloan and Junior both had huge games--- Junior had, I am guessing, his first double double: 14 boards and 17 points, along with 6 blocks, wow wow WOW ---but we still almost gave it away in the second half.

Why? Turnovers. Their guy Twitty also nearly tripled his average offensive production last night with a team (and game) high 27 points, the next guy had 8. Back to turnovers.

From the chart above, you can see we were doing well until midway though the second half: up 13 and just few turnovers. Then things got sloppy. In four minutes we doubled our turnover deficit, and our lead went from 13 to 2. Sloan finally shook us away by stealing the ball and finishing with a 3-point play. Junior blocks a shot, Carter makes some free throws and we are on our way to a 13-2 run. In that run FAMU had 3 turnovers compared to our 2 steals and 2 blocks.

To find the silver lining... that is the second game this year where we didn't roll over and die; something we had a tendency to do last year.
