To curb a troublesome turnover trend that threatens to ruin No. 22 Washington’s promising start, Mike Hopkins issued a challenge to the Huskies.
“Can everybody take away one turnover?” said the third-year coach, when asked about Washington’s 15.0 turnover average that ranks next to last in the Pac-12 and is tied for 267th among 350 Division I teams.
Not surprisingly, the Huskies’ propensity for turnovers increases to 18.7 against ranked teams. They had 20 in their 67-64 win over No. 10 Baylor, 17 during the 75-62 loss to No. 21 Tennessee and 19 in the 83-76 defeat to No.
