Maryland vs Miami

[eb45]

I almost turned this off after Turgeon got ejected. So glad I didn't.

Agreed on Len. This is the best I've ever seen him play. Faust too. Parker had a couple real nice plays as well.

[Floater]

Front line playing weak. I don't know why Len is still in.

[Birds of B'more]

They're really blowing it here. Wasted a great comeback.

[Floater]

Len! The Ukraine is WEAK!

[Slappy]

I'm still not very impressed with Len. For a 7 footer he plays too far from the basket on D, is slow to get back, and plays out of position on offense.

He can be a decent player but he's not real good right now. Even in this game.

I'm pretty much in disbelief that they got a 7 point lead on us with 3 of their players out. Unbelievable. It's down to 4 but jeez.

[Mooreisbetter27]

.. You gotta be kidding me. Well, I'm done. To bed with me. Night guys.

[Slappy]

We play real hard but are not very talented offensively (save for Stogs). That's really this team in a nutshell.

[glenn__davis]

What a horrible freaking loss. I did not even expect to win this game, but you simply can't lose after making that come back and with the roster Miami was forced to play with at the end of that game.

Credit Miami for making their FTs at the end.

[Birds of B'more]

How they could blow that 2OT with all the players Miami had out is beyond me. It won't necessarily show it in the standings, but that was a bad loss.

[Pedro Cerrano]

This is a game that needed to be won given the circumstances.

[ccbird]

Yup, pretty brutal loss after the roaring comeback, miracle 3 in OT and overall attrition of the Miami players. This one stings a lot.

[Jagwar]

I understand trying to match up with Miami's smaller lineup, but I wonder if it might have been better to have Padgett and Len in the game together at the end, especially in the 2nd OT. You already had Len being guarded by a 6'8" guy, and probably would have had a 6'6" guy guarding Padgett.

[Brendan25]

Lost a must win game. Doesn't matter that it was 2OT. Doesn't matter that we fought back. We lost a game that needed to be won to have any shot at the tournament. Still like the direction this program is going.

Len was on jelly legs. He was slow getting into position all through the 1st OT. He needs to improve his conditioning in a big way over the summer if he's going to be an impact player for the program.
