FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina -- Trying too hard to right an offense that's been out of sync for almost two weeks made matters even worse for Fayetteville State on Saturday against one of the nation's top NCAA Division II teams.The Broncos committed a season-high 29 turnovers, which No. 19-ranked and reigning CIAA champion Winston-Salem State turned into 29 points that paved the way to an 86-65 triumph at Capel Arena.
The 29 turnovers were the most by FSU since the second game of the regular season when it committed 28 in an 84-79 loss to Barton. But Saturday's miscues came in a more crucial situation with the Broncos in the midst of a losing streak in which they had made just 36.7 percent of their field-goal attempts in the previous four games.
Eighteen of the turnovers Saturday came in the opening half and allowed the Rams to produce an early double-digit advantage that FSU never really threatened.
"It's very frustrating,'' FSU sophomore guard Anthony Shelton said. "Our offense is stagnant and we're just not running through our plays. Tonight, we made a lot of mental mistakes and just couldn't get going.''
