Wasn't pretty but sometimes you just gotta get the win and move on.
We finally won a close game. That’s the positive and on the road. Never easy.
Opposing players career day 
Love Mirk though!
Love Mirk though!
That BLOB at the end for Mirk had to have been one of the best BLOBs of Underwood's tenure.
They do what they did today on Friday they are 1 and done. Do what they did today in the tournament that matters they are 2 and done.
Hopefully, that was a wakeup call that records don't matter? Or the seed in front of a team's name?

Ceiling is the E8 and floor is R32. Tomi needs to figure out his shot and not worried about Keaton, probably sick. We really struggle with quick guards and if the 3's don't fall. Despite how poor we were we didn't deserve to lose that game.
I love Mirk but what in the hell is he doing hanging on the rim after Andre was fouled! Lol. Omg!

1. Good game Mirk.
2. 3's didn't fall. That'll happen sometimes.
3. Their senior night, biggest game they played this year.
4. Good job in the paint.
5. Nice job at the line.
Road kill. I won't complain.

Just won baby!
Anyone else yell at the TV when Mirk is hanging on Maryland’s rim with 2 seconds left to go up 4?!?!
That is the ultimate “a win is a win.” Tough slog, but never let it slip away. Triple bye. Probably locks up 2 seed barring a deep run by Iowa State in their tourney because we likely will only play Q1 teams from here on.
I saw that phenomenal Freshman on Maryland lean into BU when shaking hands after the game. Did he want to get BU's attention? This kid is very good.
He'd look good in an Orange & Blue uniform.

From what I can tell, first time in five years we managed no regular season losses to non-tournament teams.
