I know the competition wasn't great, but that was the best I've seen MD play in some time and perhaps all year. Aside from two stretches they took care of the ball. Offensively it seems they are moving off the ball much better as well. I'm starting to feel a little more optimistic about this team.

What really is their to be optimistic about? It is going to take 22+ wins for the terps to make the tourney, IMO. Looking at the remaining schedule I do not see any chance that they pull that off.

Optimistic that I'll get to watch some better basketball. Unless a light goes on this isn't a tourney team. I'm simply hoping for a little excitement down the stretch.

A performance like that makes me a little more optimistic for next year. Unless anyone transfers or unexpectedly leaves early we are getting everyone back. I need to see more growth and assertiveness from Layman and more consistency from Allen and Wells. If those happen and if Dodd and incoming 7-footer Trayvon Reed can step in and give us the length we need down low I think we have a chance at having a very good team next year.

Lots of ifs...but I need to get my hopes up about something because I still don't see this team going anywhere this year.

Speaking of opportunity ......... this is from the N.C.A.A. board:

.

Not only did Boston College have a record of 6-19 entering the game, which starkly contrasted that of the 25-0, top-ranked Orangemen, but the contest was also played on Syracuse's home court in front of 26,676 of their rabid fans.

The upset of all upsets this season.

BOSTON COLLEGE O - 62

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (OVERTIME)

SYRACUSE OOOOOOOOOoo- 59

Welp, if Boston College can pull that off, then maybe a team like ..... oh, I don't know .... MARYLAND can win the A.C.C. tournament, and make it to the big dance!. :D

      Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.

      He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.

      Think Heston will be the next call up. Mayo’s K/BB ratio is poor and I think they’ll want to see that even out. Stowers and Norby have seen their numbers slip a bit.  It will likely take an injury to an outfielder or first baseman, but I think we see HK next.

      I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses.

      How did the moustache work for Austin Hays?

      I just think it’s too soon to think about sending him down.  Two more weeks like this?  It definitely would be time.  But I’ll bet we don’t see two more weeks like this.
