When I said I hoped playground time is over and the Frogs would work on ball control ahead of NC State...I could not have been more mistaken. Guess they'll work on that in practice. Ten first-half turnovers and 59 points, along with 12 steals--coach still letting the girls have fun.

The aggressive uptempo style lends itself to some of that. Definitely a couple of careless passes, fumbles inside. They have 19 turnovers and we 27 points from those. That is the real turnover stat.
