Kentucky’s sophomore starting point guard has hit a three-game skid in the turnover department. Ashton Hagans has totaled 15 turnovers since the road trip to Lubbock. Kenny Payne had only one word to describe the recent phenomenon.
“I just think they’re careless. Again, it has nothing to do with the defender, more to do with his mindset and carelessness and undisciplined at times,” UK’s associate coach said Monday afternoon.
By giving away five Kentucky offensive possessions a game, it’s plain to see the problem. The root cause of it is a little more perplexing. Regardless of the reason why, it’s a problem that must be fixed.
