I know that Greivis is a fiery player but next time he should keep his mouth shut. He said something like "this is my house" when asked about Cameron. If you say that you better not lose by 40+.

I agree w/some posters who've said that the team played scared. Its one thing to be playing hard and the shots simply aren't falling but its another to look tentative and unsure out there, playing with no conviction whatsoever.

As I mentioned earlier, I think this team wins 7 in the ACC, at best.

Does anyone think these guys have tuned Gary out?

I'll be interested in Gary's response to this.

He will comment that the game was unacceptable and take blame in the presser after this mess and then when called on it by fans, he will tell them to go root for Duke, or some wise answer.

In truth, I am a Gary supporter, but when I look at this, I see a collection of kids that Maryland settled for in the recruitment process.

To make matters worse, I looked at South Florida and see Gus Gilchrist has 17 points. I understand his attitude was questionable and he tried Maryland hostage but that is what happens when you are counting on JUCO and transfers as your key recruits.

This was one of the worst drubbings I've seen a Terps basketball team get in the almost 50 years I've followed the team. I was a student from 1961-1965 and can remember sitting in a relatively new, but nearly empty, Cole Fieldhouse watching some pretty bad Maryland teams play. Those teams were pretty bad.....but I just don't remember a team that looked THIS BAD!

That was possibly the most pathetic "performance" I've ever seen. Duke was the better team by a long shot, we knew that. But the Terps didn't even look interested. They had no idea what to do on offense. They looked scared. They didn't feel like boxing out for boards. They had no idea how to run a half court set. They didn't feel like getting back on defense...and when they did get back, they didn't feel like actually guarding anyone. GV loves runnin' his yap about Cameron being "his house", but then he stunk up the joint.

It's a shame how this team has fallen after the Nat'l Champ season. Every player, coach, and assistant should be completely embarrassed after that game.

And, one more thing...can we stop putting Hayes on the court as a starter? He's terrible. In the first 5 minutes of this game, he left Scheyer wide open 3 or 4 times, he had about 3 TOs, and he missed every shot he took. Then, later in the game, he started refusing to take wide open shots. Maybe they should stop playing 3 guards and give his minutes to Mosely or someone. Hayes does not belong as a starter.

Come on......... We have to give Gary another 3-4 years to prove his mediocrity.

He saved the Terps from the gloomy days. He won a Nat'l championship. Who cares if he then turned the team into a perennial NIT team who loses to Morgan St at home...and then screws the pooch against the Dookies in devastating fashion. He should be canonized...not fired. 3-4 years isn't quite enough...he should be here for life.

It'll be some sort of snide, dismissive comment.

Thanks, Coach Williams ;)

Ok, NOW I have nothing else to say :laughlol:

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      Congratulations Yankees

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.
