Maryland vs. Michigan


Recommended Posts

We may never see this year's Terps team play again.  

Jokes aside, this probably would have been the Terps best chance in a while to win the whole thing.  Anything can happen in a one and done tournament, so even a Turgeon led team with a better than average roster had a good chance.  I would have put their chances at maybe 10%?  

It's good and bad for Turgeon.  This was his best chance to win it all.  But he also could have fallen flat on his face again in the tournament and his job could have become at risk.

It is a real shame for the players themselves.  After watching Michigan State dispatch us on our home floor with absolute ease, I am not sure we were going anywhere in the tournament.  But it really does suck for the players like Cowan and Stix and other players around the country who are not coming back to college anymore.

Yeah what hurts the most is this is a good team.  They have/had a chance to win the B1G tournament and make a run in the national tournament.  We have no idea what could've happened, predicting sports is an impossible task.  Bottom line is this team is talented and has potential to make a run.

NCAA tournament will be canceled, it is only a matter of when.  This is my favorite time of year by far...another reason I'm sad.  College basketball is my favorite sport by far (NFL a close second, MLB and NBA next).

I think most of this is mass hysteria, but I can't deny the severity.  Quarantine is the only effective way to contain the spread of the virus.  Everything I've read is that the prognosis for people under the age of 60 is good, so part of me wishes people would stop being paranoid and just continue on with life.  That's me just being selfish I guess because I want to watch March Madness haha.  Be well everyone.  Go Terps.

Super duper bummer.

I don't like how they blew a two game lead and now have a participation trophy championship because of well, the typical Turgeon late season spiral. They should be embarrassed that they have to share this after being up by two games. But hey, it's a "Big-10 regular season championship, right?" They'll just jump up and down like school girls and then they'll go out and get beat in the first or second round of the NCAAs because that's what they do.

Sorry, but I'm not going to celebrate backing into a co-championship that they only shared because of two miracles late game wins. This team is not very good, has no depth, and is going to be absolutely terrible next year after Stix and Cowan leave. 

Maybe they'll turn the entire season into a participation prize and declare all conference champions co-national champions ???

    • I’m one of those people who pays very little attention to spring training or any kind of practice games for any sport. Other than box scores what are people even going on? It’s not like many of the games have even been televised or even on the radio for that matter. IMO practice is for fine tuning/trying to work on improving, real games that count are for performance.
    • The fact that Snell signed for this little, Montgomery still sits, and we have a hole in the rotation (to start the season) this big (I’m sorry but Irvin is not a starter on a team with legit WS aspirations) leads me to believe that until the ownership transfer process is complete there will be no more moves/spending. The best we can hope for is probably the deadline at this point.  But the good news is that the first 2 months of the season are our easiest (schedule wise) by far. Hopefully Bradish and Means can heal up by June.
    • I had no idea that’s what it came down to. 
    • It comes down to this.   Some players that are ready for the majors are going to AAA.  When injuries or non performance happens at the major league level AAA players get promoted. If the O's come up short on pitching Elias has players to trade for more pitching.
    • I feel like I read somewhere that the Yankees were the only East coast team he would consider. 
    • It’s nice to have a lot of young talented players but my goodness the never ending debate about the infield and who plays where is absolutely exhausting. 
    • They don’t matter for established vets. They matter to vet guys trying to make the team. They matter to the young kids trying to make the team although how they carry themselves in all ways matters a ton too. More than stats though, how do they look doing it?  Are they getting lucky? Unlucky? How is the pitchers arm looking?  Is it building properly?  Are the batters taking good at bats or do they look lost?  Lots of factors involved that don’t come across purely in numbers.
