13 TO's already! LB plays aggressive defense and has quick defenders. They get their hands in the passing lanes and they like to double team the ball. The Ags like to play fast but they are sloppy with their passes and they often pull up their dribble and get trapped when doubled. The result is TO after TO...that's been the story of the season.
The Aggies put up a tough fight but they beat themselves with 26 TO's that led to 28 points by Long Beach. That's been the unfortunate story of the season for this team. They kill themselves with TO's.
Burns had 9 TO's. She shows a lot of promise and flashes of brilliance but you simply can not have your PG turning the ball over like that. To be fair, the whole team contributed to the TO's. It's just a huge problem for this team.
Last 5 years in the league: 64-10
This year in the league: 7-8
The last 5 years were a hell of a run and hopefully this year is just a blip. Of course we are losing 3 senior starters who are averaging a combined 90 minutes per game this year so some younger players are going to need to step up next year.
Jen and her staff have done a remarkable job over the past 5 years. The string of BW Championships was bound to end at some point but I don't think most Aggie fans thought it would end this year and end in the way it has.
This is a very experienced team that returned 4 of their 5 starters from the previous season. However, losing Trpcic at PG has proven to be a much bigger loss than expected and the team has also struggled to get the kind of production from the bench that they have needed.
Hall, Stobbart and Konrad will be gone next year and, along with Turner, they have been the heart and soul of this team in recent years. Those are huge loses and, given the struggles that we've seen this season, it appears that the coaching staff will have a very big rebuilding job ahead of them.
Jenn and her staff are great. Look for this year's team to surprise the conference in the tournament. I hope they play with purpose, Aggie Pride, in a joyful manner. A great ending would be very nice for this group of seniors.
