And, as also pointed out by that NY Times article, our 5(!) total turnovers vs. Utah was our lowest in a conference game since finishing with four against Arizona... in 2010, a decade ago!

All the more amazing given the number of minutes the freshmen played (freshmen are more turnover prone), and with the injury situation, how many minutes our players played (tired players are more injury prone).

I'm trying to decide how much our our good offensive execution and low turnover rate vs Utah is our players becoming better at running the offense vs Utah being not that physical of a defensive team.  If we had been playing OSU or ASU, would our offense have flowed as well?  I think it may be a bit of both.  Our offense is quite complicated and is so timing dependent.  For example we run a lot of double screens for Lexie where she curls around the paint and then has the option to shoot a free throw jumper or drive to the basket.  There is so much that has to go right in terms of the timing of the screens by Fingall and Belibi as well as the timing of the pass from Williams to Lexie.  So yes I think the more we run it the better we will get at our complex offense.  But also a very good and physical defensive team would probably do a better job disrupting it.
