Maryland 11/25

Theses announcers have had a few too many Bahama mamas.
 
And like clockwork we fold up down the stretch. And again tonight, misuse of Sherod. I have realized that Mooney really just doesn’t see what happens on defense. Or care.
 
This team doesn't play defense @ a high enough level to beat good teams and make the NCAA tournament. Well over 60% shooting by Maryland in 2nd half including 7 3s. Can't win consistently with numbers like that. It makes us very susceptible to scoring runs by the other team. You have to get stops in crunch time and we don't. It's not a new issue.
 
Ahead by 9 points at half. Lead by as much as 12. Still find ways to lose. Shooting all these threes do nothing. Maryland makes free throws. We struggle again with rebounds and free throws. It's like the same story being written over and over again.
 
When the games get intense late, the offense often ends up hinging on whether or not we hit 3's or not. Down the stretch when it gets nip and tuck the offense does not run like it normally does. Which would be fine if we were good with that change to our offense. But rarely we seem to be good.
