Maryland vs. Wisconsin

[Oriole4Life]

Maryland on the road at Wisconsin tonight.  The way they played last time I'm not expecting much, but you never know.  Terps are 2.5 point underdogs.

Maryland is 6-7 all time vs Wisconsin with a total score of 854-854

So it should be a close game then!  Haha.

I hope Turgeon got after them at practice.  If they come out flat I'll be disappointed.  Would appreciate a game with less than 15 turnovers - and that's being generous.

My Son has talked me into watching the game. Guess I'm a glutton for punishment.

Even the announcers don’t care about the game anymore, switch to the Maryland game!

Last game was not fun, but I’m not given up on them yet. Especially this year with all the parity.

Even Dan and the other guy for the MD game realize how ridiculous that was!  I don’t know why that irritates me so much, but it does!!

Ayala misses an open 3 to start.  Wish he would find his shot.

Wiggins finally hit one.   Hopefully he has found his.

Yes that would be helpful.  He needs his confidence back.

Lindo is not a good ball handler.  At all.  I've seen him dribble into his defender and travel or get stripped several times this year.

Marial needs to learn how to guard with his hands straight up, not leaning into the defender.  Use that height.

Marial looked a bit confused out there too.  
 

Now Potter hits a prayer at the end of the shot clock, lovely.

Missed free throws....I hate that. Stix missed two in a row.

Being down 5 at the half is a miracle.  So many bad shots. Clank clank clank. Not loving the defense either, giving up some wide open threes.  Never seen a team stuggle so much to get it inside.

I like this aggressive confident version of Anthony Cowan.  Dribble penetration open up so much.  See what happens when you don't turn the ball over?  You actually get shots!  Go figure.

We are guarding the three much better this half.  That is 50% of Wisconsin's game.

I miss the second half until now and of course it turns out to be a good game! Maybe I should go away again. 

Wish they could stay focused and put this game away.
