Great win fellas. Poor shooting night, our guys got abused with no help from stripes, and we pulled out a road dub! 15-5 B1G is fantastic, and avoided a loss that could’ve got us down to the 3 line… let’s win one in the BTT and survive and advance!

So gross…. I know it’s a broken record at this point but man Tomi has been HIGHLY disappointing… Don’t feel good at all with where we are at but it’s on to Chicago…
Never a doubt...
Found a way to win- but I'm legit concerned about our team. The twins are playing some of their worst ball, Andrej plays good every 1/3 games and is unplayable the other 2/3. Wagler looks like he's in a funk.. Just uninspiring ball headed into single elimination.

Hey, a win is a win. Not much more to say. Mirk was tremendous today and carried us. Sometimes you need that. With the triple bye, hopefully that gives us time to get healthy. We really need a 100% Keaton.
Now let's have Iowa beat Nebraska and get the much better BTT path as the 3 seed.

I'm very unamused.
This crew is okay with hanging on rims, apparently.
Lot of teams would trade us places right now
Yup. Worst 3 point performance of the year
AS with a Jeckle-and-Hyde type of game. He deserves his props for some of his very good finishes to the whole.
Tomas needs just to hit one freakin' three-pointer, and I predict he'll be back.
Boswell needs to stay out of stupid foul trouble. Needed him in there with under five minutes to play.

I noticed that. His "cutesy" crap needs to stop. Unreal.
That should happen a lot more going forward. NIL has separated the haves from the have nots
Good gutty win. Goofy things happen in these final games, especially with teams with heat check type guys, and Maryland has 2 of them in Coit and Mills.
That being said, Keaton is clearly not 100%, I think it looks like a back problem. Running upright, short on his free throws. Tomi looks like he has no confidence. Our three point shooting is ice cold. And we cant seem to slow down any decently talented guard/wing.
We aren’t playing our best ball right now. But then again in 21 we were absolutely rolling and got upset so you never know. But it’s a shame we aren’t playing our best.

Ok, I hope Iowa can win so we can have a chance to kick Fears in the nuts.
Mirk was Superman today!
Id love one of these T shirts with Mirk imposed on it..

Hope people see/understand the real reason this was a 6 pt margin: 5-24 from 3
Coaching helped us win today with the two decisions on challenges and the late OOB play
Also a team award for finding other ways to score when the 3s don’t fall with 21-31 (68%) on twos and a ton more drives that ended in 26 FTs (81%) and a 42 to 20 advantage in the paint
Maryland was feisty on senior day and made some wild shots (though we still have issues guarding ball screens, would like to see improvement there)

Ignoramous here. What’s a BLOB?

The existential question for this team is which is the mirage, the way we shot from 3 earlier in the year, or the way we're shooting from 3 now?
You can guard us totally differently if we don't have guys you have to prevent the launch from 1-5.
