Unfortunate that we don't get a rematch with them in Champaign because I firmly believe we get them there.
Hope we see them again in the BTT.

Yup, and with Goode and Harris dinged up we didn't have the depth to get our guys a blow.Having Mayer and Epps in foul trouble really hurt our depth to be able to maybe wear them down
Their fans were awesome (except for wasting a perfectly good pretzel). That's what college basketball student sections should be like. Give me more of that and less of the blue hairs at SFC with their arms crossed half the game.Maybe i'm getting older, but shame on the Maryland AD for not getting on the loudspeaker for throwing things on the court, and yelling obvious obscenities towards opposing players. I would imagine there were several youngsters in attendance, and they don't need to hear that. I guess it's what i would expect from the Wash DC area. Absolute trash. The Kevin Warren lead Big 10 has been an embarrassment overall.
Lots of "F U Hawkins" chants. and I can't imagine all the slick stuff they were saying to our guys.What were they saying to our players?
I said the exact same thing to my wife. LOLMan, getting beat by a Wanda Sykes look alike sucks.
I feel our defense in the 1st half was the difference. We left way too many open 3’s and they made us pay. If we had cut that 1st half margin we would have won by 2-4 points.
Their starting 5 is really good, and may carry them this year if they stay injury free. Their big crowd carried them in certain moments too.
It’s incredibly irritating that Maryland continues to have our number, no matter what…
I’ve kind of always been on team let the big gun get his as a defensive strategy, I guess. They got some stuff going to the hoop but what really killed us, especially early, was losing guys at the three-point line imo. That, and Dain not doing a great job of hedging on the game-icing shot.That's what makes it boring and obvious, but defensively we switch everything and create chaos and force all five opponents into discomfort, at the cost sometimes of "take away this one or two guys".
That said, the transition back to UnderwoodBall is, all things told, going somewhat better than I'd feared. We have the right roster for it which we did not in 2017.
I can't wait to add another weird, obnoxious player to our already potent brew.a healthy Luke Goode.

The DIA threatened to kick us out if we shouted the word "sucks".Their fans were awesome (except for wasting a perfectly good pretzel). That's what college basketball student sections should be like. Give me more of that and less of the blue hairs at SFC with their arms crossed half the game.
Agree. And guys like Dain and freshman will learn from this. These games will just make us better.Officiating was abysmal tonight. Guys battled through it. This is the type of game we will win in March.
I don't mind players getting in each other's ears (hence my administration for #31 Mr. Witherspoon) but players should leave the fans alone and fans should respect the players.They started that chant after Coleman went and chirped at the student section. Can't say he didn't have it coming
So does everyone else obviously..lol....Happy Holidays Brother.....It's a sort of boring, obvious thing to say, but we have a lot of trouble guarding really good scorers.
