I think it's been noted for most of the season that if they don't clean up turnovers they will not progress in the tournament. They fit the profile of a team that did just what they did in ACC tourney: one spectacular game where they blow out opponent followed by sloppy game where turnovers cost them the game.
Sadly, I think is what we will see in NCAAs. Sweet Sixteen maybe if they get a decent draw and hold it together for 2 games, but probably just one win. I think from an offense, defense, effort, and cohesion stand point they could be 16 or 8 team--but they just keep throwing the ball away. Literally. Passes to teammates who aren't looking. Lobs into post that have no chance. Over-dribbling in traffic. I love cheering for this team and so these repeated mistakes are very frustrating because it is so correctible and will cost them so dearly.
Oh, and the bench players can not be so passive on offense. There were many times that they had wide open looks and they refused to shoot or would drive right into the defense. I know they aren't our first choice scorers, but when you are on the floor you have to be some kind of a threat and take the gift opportunities.
