The Flashes commit 18.1 turnovers per game, which equates to a turnover margin that ranks ninth out of the 12 teams in the conference. What’s worse is when those turnovers turn into transition buckets, said Flashes’ coach Danielle O’Banion.
“We didn’t help ourselves in the first half by giving it (the basketball) away 13 times,” said O’Banion. “Western Michigan is a good team, and they scored 17 points off of those (turnovers).”
The Broncos finished with 23 points off turnovers.
The Flashes rallied late to cut it to a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter after trailing by as much as 23 in the second half, but they ended up on the wrong end of a 73-52 final.
