UNC UMD Thread

[Floater]

Terps not playing bad offense but on defense...well in their defense, the Tar Heels are shooting out of their minds.

[Mackus]

I don't really know how to respond to that half.

[Twenty1]

MD is playing well but this is just unlike anything I've evers een before.

That first half was unreal. I've never seen a team shoot the ball so well. Eleven three point buckets in the first half is nuts....and it's not like we were just giving them wide open looks either. You can't do much about that.

[NewOwnerNeeded]

IF UNC isn't hitting that many threes, they are probably still winning, but it's a much closer game. For the most part, the defense for Maryland has been fine. I don't know what Gary will tell them at the half. I guess you just have to keep doing what you are doing and hope they can't stay that hot.

[PaulBako]

Maryland is actually playing pretty well.

Too bad that North Carolina is making every 3 they shoot! :cussing:

[Twenty1]

Wow, we came out of the locker room flat. Here comes the onslaught.

On a lighter note...the black jerseys are sweet!

[Floater]

I'm not sure why Tucker doesn't get more playing time but those black unis are tight!

[BaltimoreTerp]

UNC is 15-22 on threes tonight. 68%.

Insane.

Especially considering Maryland is 30-59 and UNC 31-60 overall from the field.

[Jagwar]

When Hansbrough makes a three, they should just stop the game right there

[BaltimoreTerp]

I think the end-of-the-bench guy for Carolina could be blind-folded, turned the wrong way and being punched in the face as he's shooting, and he'd make it tonight.

It's pretty much over now. The Terps are starting to force things and lose turnovers.

Hell, I wasn't expecting much closer then this anyway.

[Jagwar]

UNC shoots 37% as a team, which would be about 9-23 instead of 16 for 23.

When the other team almost shoots 70% from long distance, they aren't going to lose

[BaltimoreTerp]

They're at a shade under 70% now with under-three to play.

The Wizards wouldn't beat this team on this court on this night.

[Twenty1]

Cliff Tucker > Eric Hayes. Free Cliff Tucker!

[BaltimoreTerp]

UNC shoots 37% as a team, which would be about 9-23 instead of 16 for 23.

When the other team almost shoots 70% from long distance, they aren't going to lose

...and then it's 84-81 with just under three to play. Amazing.

[Jagwar]

...and then it's 84-81 with just under three to play. Amazing.

Not sure it's that simple, but I catch your drift. Are these wide open 3s or contested?

The Terps have scored 85 points on UNC's home court, and are still down 20.
