Maryland vs Purdue

[murph]

 Really "big" test tonight!   Pun intended, obviously.     I will not be posting much, but very interested in hearing what everyone else observes and has to say.     I don't think I'll be too upset if they lose this game, but if we win, especially with our bigger players been a forceful component of that, it could be huge for us down the road.   Go Terps!

Maryland is fighting here. Cowan playing like superman down the stretch.

The ball movement from Maryland compared to Purdue is night and day.  Everything from us is 1 on 1 where as they spread the floor and move it around for easy shots.

Haas had his way with us tonight and too many Maryland players didn't bring their A game. 

Justin Jackson continues to be a disappointment. 

Fun game to watch nonetheless.

I was only able to watch segments and at certain points, thought the game was completely over early.  Impressed they were able to keep it tight, but from what I am seeing and hearing (especially as Chuck says about Justin Jackson again not performing) it was a winnable game.  I am excited about this team, hope they can pull it together.  Be a shame for Bruno to be one and done and only get an NIT invite or less.  From those who watched, was the Purdue size just too much as well as the lack of ball movement as Chuck says?  What do we all think?  Can this team be a sweet 16 team or was that early start just a fluke?  Either way, I will be watching until the end.

They look like a borderline tournament team to me. 

Of course, it's still way early.
