[QUOTE="UrbanaIsTheShiz, post: 1195968, member: 583558"] I was at the game and agree with this completely. The team did not quit aall the way through. Heads high, and hustling. Their defense, be it scheme, ability or personnel (I dont know which, probably a combination) is/was atrocious. The zone was a joke. Wide open threes from smooth shooters all night. Then, when they tried to push everyone to the perimeter, they could not contain p players, who either drove right by us into the wide open lane, or found a big cutting into the lane for easy baskets. If we could have hit some open shots and string together three or four stops in a row, we could have at least made it interesting into the later parts of the game. But limited offensive options and horrendous D wont get it done. Maryland has a huge frontcourt and yet they are a horrible rebounding team. they seem to have weak motors. I was talking to fans around me, noone thinks they are going to get farther than the elite 8, and noone would be surprised if they dont make the second weekend. [/QUOTE]
