Very frustrating loss to Michigan.

22....I repeat 22 turnovers. Sometimes I just don't understand what the ladies are seeing when they make some of these passes.

This was a winnable game. A good Michigan team didn't play well after a long layoff. But 22 turnovers.....ended any chance at an upset.

If they could somehow just cut the turnovers down to respectable amount of maybe 11 or 12. That's 10 or 11 more shots at a basket. Say you score on 40% of those extra shots. That's close to 10 points and this is a winnable game. Even with getting absolutely nothing from the 4 and 5 positions. And facing a team with one of the best players in the country.

Throw in making only 7 of 16 free throws and this is even a more winnable game.

Purdue's two centers both fouled out in a combined 25 minutes of playing time. I know Naz Hillmon is good.....but jeez.....that's a foul every two minutes for the young ladies.

Two bright spots.....Madison Layden and Kayana Traylor both played pretty much the whole game and had nice games.

UM’s leading scorer was the Indiana product who was with Nebraska last year and killed is with 30 points. She us just one of four Indiana natives playing for the Wolverines.
 
This team is no longer watchable. The only question is who will be coaching them this year. They are poorly coached now and have the least talent of any team since the championship year. It has gone straight down and, in losing to truly hapless Illinois, has hit bottom. Don't shoot the messenger.

Out-rebounded 39-18(!), 22 TO's (!), and an offense that's been ineffective for years. Clean house and start over, it can't get any worse.
