Maryland 62, Illinois 56 POSTGAME
Completely fell apart in the 2nd half.
Another fantastic showing
Twenty-four points in the second half. I'm so tired of this garbage. :hurl:
I'm ready to just burn the whole thing down and start over.

Second half was completely embarrassing. Coaching wise and playing wise.
Have to be up by more late in the first half when the Terps couldn't buy a bucket.
Not a strong offensive performance. The freshmen made mistakes. Does Groce stick with them?

I haven't enjoyed watching Illinois basketball since Groce's first year

Well, that makes the road to 11 conference wins MUCH more difficult. 
I do believe MH was fouled both times he got the defender in the air where there were non calls. That is something that is taught at all levels. Every defender is taught from day 1 not to leave their feet in that situation.
HOWEVER, after the first one was not called, Malcolm has to adjust and realize they didn't call it the first time and weren't going to call it down the stretch.

Yeah, doubling the post made an already gummed-up offense even worse.
We moved the ball so well against Michigan too, a strange issue to have.

i finally get to watch a nationally televised game and it's just as depressing as i remembered ... but ILL
So many jump shots. When they don't go in, you're not going to win many games.
Michigan didn't play defense.

Which was ….
The first one was, the second one wasn't.

Maryland tried to give it to us. Groce and the players wouldn't take it.
I enjoyed the Michigan game, if I closed my eyes on the defensive end
Really rough game. Turgeon absolutely schooled Groce. Doubling Mav on every touch really threw our offense out of sync, and for a freshman, Huerter (sp?) did an excellent job on Malcolm. Really need to find a versatile scorer (or a few) because what we have now is so easy to defend if you follow the scouting report.
Zero inside offense all game. Eventually we start missing shots and squander a lead that should have been bigger. Seen this movie before.
Groce won't do it but should seriously consider benching Tracy. AJ couldn't play any worse.

Yep. I watch if I can, but don't go out of my way. This was predictable. Even when up 9 or 10 my kid and I were guessing how much we'd lose by. He won because I thought it would be more.

If would have been called if he had jumped into the guy while he was in the air. Instead, he waited until he landed and then jumped into him. Not guaranteed to get the call then.

Didn't get blown out this time. Still, needed to win every game at home. Gotta make this one up somehow. Not sure where it's gonna happen, though.

Just don't know what to say anymore, I'm getting to that level of not feeling any pain because it's just not surprising.
I thought we may have found something last game, but we came out the second half and could not adjust to their adjustments.
