Along with getting Tomi's mind right, I'd like to see us go back to the starting lineup that we had for most of our long streak. I like Jakes game but our best consistent play was with Andrej starting.
I'm not so sure about that. Feels like we unlocked something by not having Kylan and Andrej on the floor at the same time very much. This offense runs so much smoother when you have (usually) good shooters spacing the floor. With both Kylan and Andrej being poor 3-point shooters, it hinders our offense.

@2qtslow: Terrapin Trail Garage (TTG) is $47. The arena is that gray blob immediately to the right. RDG is the Regent's Drive Garage. Lots 4B and 9B will make you climb a ton of stairs to the entrance compared with TTG, which spits you out at entrance level.

Can I do TTG without an ADA card or UMD pass? I see one on Seat Geek and it does not show any qualifier.

EDIT: Bought it. Thanks for all the help!

Yes. The TTG pass will get you into the garage, which also happens to be where selected ADA parking is located. But you can park there without an ADA pass. I have a buddy who's a former Terp player. He and some friends have season tickets and I've gone to games with them in the past. His buddy as part of the season tickets had a TTG pass for the season awhile ago.

I also parked there myself for the Illini game in January 2022.

Andrej doesn’t play well without the ball in his hand. He operates way better as the offense focal point of the second unit to give Keaton a breather.

If he could commit to being a rebounder and slasher at the small forward position then he would work in the starting 5. He seems unwilling to embrace that role.

I don’t think coach and him have truly aligned on that view. Andrej will begrudgingly come off the bench for the remainder of the season. I see him transferring out to be the offensive leader of a bubble / NIT team to boost his NBA stock.

The way Mara blocked him and Michigan more generally neutralized his penetration was a telltale sign he’s not suited to being the #1 offense option on a contending team.

Go Illini! Break the turtle's back. Probably be a 3 or 4 seed in the BTT. Some of the games yesterday were close when they should not have been close.

Come April his buyout drops to $8 million …

Maryland wouldn’t be opposed to him leaving to say the least and there may be some room for negotiation on that buyout if he can find another job …
How do you come to that conclusion - Do you know someone in the Maryland AD office?

I have attended games at several BIG venues, and Maryland is the only time I have dealt with multiple jerks. There may be one every now and again at another venue, but mostly the fans are friendly and open. Maryland fans are just a different breed collectively. There are certainly friendly UM fans, but as a group--terrible.
That's so interesting to hear. I live in College Park and have attended a few women's games when IL has been in town, but this will be my first men's BB game. Now, I attended a few IL-IU games in Bloomington during the late Weber era, and THAT experience is how I developed my lingering hatred of ALL Indiana sports teams!

I believe BU’s thinking is that when we start Bos with Dre we’ve got 2 non shooting 3 point guys. He wants spacing.

We win and we lock in top 4 - Triple bye with a chance at the 3 seed if Iowa beat Nebraska the game after. Lets go do our part.
