Maryland at Ohio State

[JohnBKistler]

Another big game on the road. Like at MSU, Maryland came out playing well, but like at MSU, they have faded at the half. Fernando has disappeared. And of course the Buckeyes are shooting the lights out. 

Let's see if Maryland can play a more inspired game in the 2nd half.

I have more or less written off this season losing Jackson. Isn't next year supposed to be a monster recruiting class?

Does it matter when your coach can't coach?

Cekovsky, at 7', plays like he is 6'2".

So he's a really good ball handler with a sweet outside shot?

Ohio State 13-22 from 3-point range. Another team on their way to score 50 points against the Terps from 3.

Um, not exactly.

A Turgeon trademark: leave wide open looks from three on the defensive side and heave up ugly threes on the offensive side.

Another disappointing performance on the road.  The Terps seem to be heading for the bottom half (quarter?) of the Big 10.  A very tough schedule continues for this month (@Michigan, Minnesota, @Indiana, MSU, @ Purdue).  With the way they are playing, I see the Minnesota game as the only realistic win in that stretch.  Terps hopes of qualifying for the NCAA tournament are quickly disappearing (sans a miracle conference tournament finish).  I know the injury bug has bit them hard, but save for the second half against (what is apparently) a very bad Iowa team, the Terps have played very uninspired over the last 3 contests.

Very discouraging....
