Georgia’s had a large variety of turnovers this season, but not apple, cherry, strawberry or chocolate. Instead plenty of basketballs have scampered toward the baseline on errant passes.
There may be some more fruitful options after Monday’s victory over Mississippi. Georgia (15-10, 6-6 SEC) had only nine turnovers in a 78-56 rout of the Rebels, and only two miscues in the first half. Taja Cole led Georgia with five, but most of those came on double-dribble violations or travels rather than live-ball situations.
That’s not a typo — the Lady Bulldogs valued nearly every possession.
“We played a lot smarter than we do sometimes, because those turnovers come from making too quick of a play or a hero play,” said sophomore Maya Caldwell, who notched a career-high 15 points.
