Jim Calhoun
Hmmm, if I remember correctly from a previous game... Calhoun had good insight you could just never understand what he was saying. Does that sound right to anyone else?

We're one of only two schools in the conference with the "honor" of playing their final two games on the road. The other is Wisconsin
The two schools that balance this out with their final two game at home are Rutgers and PSU.
Everyone else has one at home and one on the road.
We are the only team in the Big Ten to play Rutgers & Minnesota twice.
Groce: Maryland defense reminds me of Purdue with size and athleticism. Great at both ends. Melo gifted and dominant PG
Groce: People assume Hill and Nunn did all leading. They spearheaded it. Lewis and Morgan both stepped up too.
Groce: There will be a few wrinkles and adjustments during games. But at this time of year, bulk of who you are is who you are.
Groce: For us to get there, you need your upperclassmen to help coach your team. Been challening them. Stepped up last few days
Groce: We prefer to run and play in transition. We want to do that, but best transition teams are best defensive teams.
Groce: Really our offense was able to feed off defense, ability to get stops, deflections, steals and first-time rebounds.
Vegas consensus has UI +14.5 pts. Most number of points all year.
Illinois State got 12.5 pts in late November @ Maryland.
Upon further review that Illinois State game was at a neutral site in Cancun. ISU did cover they only lost 77-66.
Current ISU RPI=105
Current UI RPI=161

I honestly thought there was something wrong with my TV and turned the sound off. He was completely unintelligible. Maybe they should offer closed captioning when he's on.

This hurts my eyeballs
