Coming into the Minnesota game, Caleb Swanigan led the team comfortably in turnovers with 63 for the year - 22 more than A. J. Hammons. So, with news that his ankle injury would keep him out of the game, I thought there was a chance this could be a damning game for him. Instead, the Boilers looked sloppy and discombobulated, turning the ball over 14 times and only shooting 42% from the floor. Combine that with Stephen's absence and the Barn's mystical bad mojo, and the Boilers faded into a near loss late in the game.
The real damning part about the game doesn't really have anything to do with Swanigan's play itself, but the fact that Vince Edwards at the 4 is our best player and our best lineup.
