Wow! Huerter's defense is amazing!!!!! He hit a gigantic three as well which essentially started the comeback. Off the assist from Cowan, who is a baller.

Great game, exactly what I envisioned. That's a good Georgetown team, I think they are a tournament team. But the Terps are strong too!

Glad I recorded that.

Wow, one of the best games I've ever seen and the best comeback ever by the Terps. Love this team. Cowan, Huerter and Jackson are all going to be amazing! This team looks unselfish, smart, and clearly never gives up! It's like the anti-last year team!

This freshman class is special. They won the game tonight.

Love the heart by Maryland. With the horrible officiating and everything I'm glad they won that. Feel bad for Georgetown because they perhaps, "needed that," more than the Terps but they couldn't handle Maryland's press down the stretch. That's why they lost. By the way, I've been calling for JT3 to be fired for years. He never gets the most out of his players, I find him to be a horrible motivator. He's not the one turning the ball over, but still...

Anyway, spectacular win by the Terps! I think this team can be something special. The three freshmen look legit and with Trimble doing his thing and contributions from the bench, watch out. Still need to cut down on the turnovers and shoot better from beyond the arc. Gonna need guys like Nickens and Wiley to contribute if we really want to make some noise. Dodd's defense is strong, just wish we could get a bit more from him down low.

Maryland has a chance to go undefeated for a while. I'll see you guys throughout the season.

I was there, courtsideish.

I conceded defeat with five minutes left. Then Trimble took over and did his thing.

The second, third, and fourth best players on team (in no particular order) are Cowen, Huerter, and Jackson. I'm confident in saying this two games in.

That is a good thing.

That's pretty weak on the protestors part. Let people enjoy basketball geez.

I just wanted to point out that this was purely a political post (ArtVanDelay). Nothing to do with the lack of fans at the game. My buddies got slowed a bit coming from Northern Virginia (due to the protests), but there was nothing slowing anyone coming from MD or NW DC (Georgetown) from getting to the game.

I think the early game time had something to do with it. Also most college (UMD) students probably have little interest in paying $50 to $200 to watch a game 20 miles away when they can watch homes games for a fraction of the price.

The poor attendance reflects the lack of passion from the Georgetown student body and alumnus. We've seen half empty Verizon Centers at the BB&T Classic. This is nothing new. DC is one of the worst basketball (and sports cities in general) cities in the country.

Listened to Johnny Holiday complaining about the officiating on the radio and sounds like he was right. I caught the end of the second half and yea I thought it was a loss as well. Georgetown definitely helped us out, but those kids never quit. Was great to see such an awesome finish.

I'm watching the end of Georgetown vs. #13 Oregon in Maui. Wow, this is one of the strangest games.

With 57.2 seconds left,

Bill Walton:"John Thompson the 3rd is pulling his hair out. He had hair when this game started."

With 38.9 seconds left,

Bill Walton: "If they don't win this game, the Georgetown players will forever look into the mirror with shame and embarrassment."

Pretty sure Bill Walton has some rum-&-gatorade in his mug.

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      No, but it should be open to discussion at that point.

      The Orioles have played 14 series and lost 3 of them.  After a couple of tough losses in Pittsburgh, they reeled off a 10-3 stretch.  After dropping the Oakland series, they followed that with a 10-4 run. Even with uneven run production in the early going, and with some slumping hitters, they are still matching up favorably record-wise with 1969 and 1970. I can’t imagine why anyone would be down at this point.  Were expectations for the team to be better than .660 at this point ?

      I think Mayo's future position is directly related with what we do with Ryan Mountcastle. We got Mounty for 2 more years, if we decide to keep him. Does the timeline work out that the Adley/Basallo catcher split allows the guy not caching to DH or 1B, and Mayo takes the third (1B/DH) spot?

      I think that’s a fair question but the follow up question would be do you think that would warrant bringing in a new GM?

      Hold up a second. If Elias comes out of this years trade deadline with the 2024 versions of Flaherty and Fuji and they wash out in the playoffs you don't think it's time to question his ability to close things out?

      I think some fans are just inherently negative.   We follow the team so closely that we know the weaknesses of every player.   And every player, no matter how good, has weaknesses. Because a good starter is capable of being dominant in a given start, anything less can be a disappointment.   As an exercise, find a game where an Oriole starter pitched a good but not spectacular game, say 5.2 innings, 2 runs allowed, 5 hits, 2 walks.   Nothing wrong with that.   Not a dominant outing but in 2024 it's considered pretty good.  Now go to the game thread for that game and read how many comments there are about that pitcher, and count how many are positive and how many are negative.   I think you'll find the negatives VASTLY outweigh the positives.  I mean probably a ratio of about 10 to 1.  There will be comments about how he "doesn't have it tonight" after he walks a batter or falls behind a few batters in a row.    There will be comments about how he is about to implode.   If he throws a fat pitch down the middle that is hit for extra bases that will be pounced on.   If it is Irvin or Kremer there will be comments about how we need to get someone better and we don't want this guy pitching in a playoff game.   If it is Means or Bradish there will be questioning their health.   If it is G-Rod there will be comments that he has to be better than this.   Meanwhile, there will be a very small number of positiive comments.   Yet the end results (5.2/2 runs) is probably better than average.   That's just human nature.   Focusing on the negative is more interesting to many than focusing on the positive.

      Great find Tony. BB% has dropped from 5.2 last year to 0.7. That could be a game changer if it sticks.
