Giorgi second half turnovers changing momentum in games is becoming a pattern!

 

[ivwilsoniv]

42 points in the first half. 5 points in the first 10 minutes of the second.

 

[Kingo24]

Giorgi also missed 2 FTs which would have put us up 16 in the first half. Not his night to say the least

 

[KnoxIllini2]

Crushing turnover by Giorgi. Free throws though were a bigger killer.

 

[foby]

This one hurts.

 

[Kingsnake22]

out-coached....period. Underwood had no answers for the press and zone.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Tip of the hat to the Terps....very good team and great decision to go to the zone. Great three pt. shooting on the road.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Don't give up a 14 point lead in the first half. Don't only score 2 points in the first 8 minutes of the second.

 

[Kingo24]

Won't be favored for a few games now

 

[BackThatPassUp]

Im starting to question Giorgi's mental toughness. He makes too many errors at critical times and overthinks post moves in close games.

 

[spillini]

we realllly need to figure out the zone

 

[JJE]

Gotta make buckets. Hate to single out Giorgi, but he's just awful right now. Two games in a row made careless passes at the worst time.

 

[hooraybeer]

maryland played well, the zone completely shut us down. have to put the ball thru the hoop to win

 

[oldschool51]

Got beat by a better team was not surprising, being out coached makes me want to throw up

 

[skyIdub]

We simply laid down like the house dog comfy and lazy. 100% on the players tonight. Not ready and out everything-ed on the court after the first 5-10 minutes.

Turtles wanted it more.

 

[Kingsnake22]

Being ranked was fun while it lasted.

 

[Retro62]

Have to beat MSU...absolutely have to. Then, steal one of the next two on the road. A lot of tape to watch on this one...I hope it sinks in that we beat ourselves. Yes, I know, MD is really good, but we made it easy for them.

 

[Kingo24]

Maryland's switch to zone in the 1st half definitely turned the game. Never had an offensive rhythm after that

 

[BlueLeader]

Love Giorgi but wow has he killed us at the last 4 minutes the last couple games.

 

[illiniguy24]

I’m sure this sounds dramatic, but...just not proud of how we played tonight. We should have won this game. We simply looked like a team that hadn’t had a game of this magnitude in year and weren’t ready to take the next step.

 

[americanoutlaw11]

So... Anybody else pissed?

 

[Deleted member 10500]

Missed bunnies, missed free throws. hare the loss but Underwood has them in the right place. These two things are super frustrating

 

[illinitiger]

Giorgi also missed 2 FTs which would have put us up 16 in the first half. Not his night to say the least

I think he was 0/4 fts

 

[Double ACL]

Terps are a hell of a team.
