Maryland at Minnesota

Why is Pitino allowed a mini time out there holding the ball and coaching!?!

A loss tonight and suddenly Penn State and Michigan State are just a game behind (and we play MSU Saturday).

And then a Rutgers team at Rutgers and they are playing well.

Oturu is probably the second best player I’ve seen in the Big Ten this year, behind Garza.  Kinda surprised Minnesota is just a .500 team.

Well they clearly are playing on all cylinders tonight. If they played like this every night they would not be .500.

Yeah, that Michigan State game will be a must-win if we lose tonight.

I agree.  He looks unstoppable out there, especially when Stix is on the bench and most teams don't have a Stix.

I guess Chol is getting the night off, otherwise he should’ve gotten some minutes when Stix was on the bench.  Just to give Oturu a different look.

Yea, odd how little minutes he gets.   Not working hard enough in practice?  Still hurt?  idk...

He's a dud. Think you'll see him transfer.

Could be, so odd for a former top 5 recruit.

Really?  Seems like he could be a solid player.  Turge doesn’t want to play him every game yet due to his previous knee issues.

[murph]

Why does Oturu get to shout at the ref's but Cowan cannot!?!   That's ridiculous.  

[ArtVanDelay]

Seemed like we were making a run and yet we’re down by 12 again.....

[ArtVanDelay]

4 point game.

[murph]

That was pretty respectful of Oturu to not run down the court and try to pick up Smith.   Unless I missed something. 

 

Edit:  Not sure I have seen anything like that before.  I just became a big time Oturu fan, which I was already becoming with his impressive play tonight (just wish it wasn't against us).
