Erwin Roach is struggling when he's asked to handle the ball. That being said he did have more assists than turnovers: 5-4. And that is real progress.
Banks had perhaps his worst game of the season. He has a lot of growing to do re: his game. 12 minutes, no points, no assists, 4 turnovers. He was outmatched by the Baylor bigs. Its a sign of the poor depth that Shaka had to give the kid 12 minutes.
Overall the team had 11 assists, 14 turnovers. Still a negative ratio. But 14 TO's is better than 18-20, which was the norm earlier. For comparison, BU's guard, Lindsey, a true point, had 7 assists and 2 turnovers. That is a difference maker. When that turns in our favor, we win games.
Good news on that front is that Jones had no TO's along with 4 assists.
I'm not a patient person. Sometimes, like with Coleman coming in next year, being patient is all we can do.
BU is a top ten team. We are nowhere close. Losing is never good. But I have to give Shaka credit, he is keeping them playing hard. They are being tested under fire. KU is coming up.
