Big win but defense is a major concern. Giving up 80 to Maryland is crazy.

I do think Brad finally found something with the starters but with Harmon in for Quincy- it’s our best lineup right now- Harmon gives us another ball handler and can guard the quicker guards and make free throws and QG has really been struggling. It puts Ty at the 4 where he can be effective- it’s our best defensive lineup by far and they can all make free throws

This is the lineup that will close out games for us in March

I thought that making disparaging remarks about the officials in post game interviews was against conference rules. Maybe he needs to be fined. Willard is full of himself, that's for sure. It was a very physical game. For Maryland to stay close they had to be physical. That is the way they played in Champaign. Reese, although a fine player, is known throughout the conference as a foul prone player.

Ty out there late makes this team able to withstand a lot. He needs to close every game like this. Preferably more when not in foul trouble.

He's got to stay out of foul trouble. Not moving his feet like he should. Sometimes even becoming a liability. His defense is not at the same level it was earlier in the year.

Personally, I'm not ready to anoint Goode as a veteran just yet. Perhaps next year.... But yes, he has markedly declined the past several games and it would be in our/his best interests to step it up here on out.

Goode should've taken the redshirt or medical situation thing going on there. He missed 3/4ths of the season, I believe?

And he's not a threat to score. You don't really have to guard him. This game was dominated by the refs; It made the game monotonous. But I'm sure as hell glad we won. Now it's time to take down PSU and come back home with a 10-4 conference record.
