[QUOTE="Illinimark, post: 1703601, member: 747796"] There were three or four plays where Payne sold out for the block when just securing the rebound was the smart play. Sometimes these guys have to make the smart play and stay with their man. Have to have some faith that the man guarding the shooter will do his job. Omar's commitment to the blocks gave Maryland's center very easy put back baskets. Yes, the starters were gassed at the end. Sure wish we could have zoned them for different sections of the game. I believe it would have extended the endurance of certain players. Plummer needed some rest. He still is not a top notch on ball defender. With what he brings though I sure can live with it. Still in second place with many opportunities to win this thing. Onward and upward. [/QUOTE]
