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. :eek:

Generally contested from what I've seen.

This is probably the most impressive I've seen this team play. They are playing very well, and haven't given up late even though the game is over.

Carolina is just absolutely lights-out. Like I said, the Wizards wouldn't beat them tonight.

Pick your poison. Play the passing lanes and sag inside or defend the perimeter. Can't do both. Good game plan but UNC's just too strong.

Hate to see Lawson in Carolina blue, he should have been playing for the Terps. Can't remember the last time a Md team shot over 50% and lost by 20.

That's not saying much. The Wizards can't beat anyone.

Still, the worst NBA team will beat the best college team any time they play unless something insane happens...like the college team shooting 70% from behind the arc.

Actually, check that...they finished at 64%. Still amazing.

Granted we may have lost by 17 points, but the three point baskets were clearly the difference. There were a lot of positives from tonight, especially points in the paint and the emergence of Cliff Tucker. I think we stand a legitimate shot against UNC at Comcast. Hopefully we can keep up the increased morale since the BC loss/GW debacle. This team seems to be playing better as compared to 2 weeks ago.

Gotta say, Maryland actually impressed me tonight.

Carolina was out of their freaking minds, and it really didn't break them. Nobody was beating the Heels the way they were shooting it tonight, and while I will say they got more open looks than I think some here are admitting, a good amount were contested.

I still think Maryland has the talent to at least make a push for an NCAA berth. If they play like they did tonight, they beat most teams.

Yup! Cliff Tucker needs to be in there over Hayes.

Gary must really like Hayes.

Mosley needs to start over Hayes, Gary made the right call there, but Hayes should still be playing more than Tucker.

Tucker played outstanding tonight, don't get me wrong, but he's still gotta do it more than once. As Gminski said tonight though, he's certainly earned himself some more minutes and the opportunity to pass Hayes on the depth chart if he continues playing well.

I think we just have too many similar players though. Tucker, Mosley, Bowie, Vasquez, and Hayes are all very similar, and really only 2, maybe 3, of them can play at once. They are a very solid group of guards, especially if Tucker can play like this more consistently, but there are only so many minutes that can go to guards.

I gotta say the guy I was really happy to see play pretty well, albeit in limited minutes, was Braxton Dupree. He actually played with a little bit of fire, something I haven't seen from him all year. He's still gotta do a lot of work to earn an invite back to the team for next year, right now he's still someone they'll likely force out and rightfully so, but he at least showed a little bit tonight fighting inside. Hopefully he can show more over the remainder of the season, or he's gonna be playing at Loyola for the rest of his career.

I think they can start playing like a team that deserves to be in the NCAA tournament down the stretch.

However, I don't think they can do enough to overcome the huge hole they put themselves in with the Morgan St, Miami, Florida St, and perhaps BC losses (or at least all of them combined, needed to win against Morgan and at least 2 of those ACC games).

      O’s cap every game

      By Frobby · Posted

      I must be in the minority.  I pay no attention to what uniforms and caps are worn on a given day.  You could ask me five minutes after the game what caps the team wore, and I wouldn’t be able to tell you. But I could tell you what happened in the game in vivid detail.

      Speculating on how the O's handle the pitching logjam

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I don’t see any kind of “logjam”. That would imply some sort of challenge with having too much talent in one place/spot. What we have is a hodgepodge of mediocre to below average pitchers who are very interchangeable in terms of their talents (or lack there of). Of the pitchers that you mentioned, probably Bradish (who we don’t know about right now coming off the elbow injury) and maybe Suarez (very small sample size) are any good.  The rest …. They can be swapped out for one another and I don’t think any real difference is made. I hope Means can be the John Means of 2021. But the reality is that was a long time ago at this point. I don’t think that it is very probably that he will make it through the season and pitch effectively into October and be healthy the whole time. That’s probably pie in the sky/wishful thinking at this point.

      This question was kind os answered today on BaltimoreBaseball.com.  I seem to recall that the choice was scheduled, Friday was black jersey and O's cap (before the city connect) and Saturday was the orange jersey.  Wondering when they changed to starting pitcher's choice.   https://www.baltimorebaseball.com/2024/04/26/midday-mailbag-orioles-wear-black-jerseys-often/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=midday-mailbag-orioles-wear-black-jerseys-often&utm_source=BaltimoreBaseball.com+List&utm_campaign=06dfb0fd98-RSS_MAILCHIMP&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cddc084dff-06dfb0fd98-47594557&mc_cid=06dfb0fd98&mc_eid=f169a521ef

      Most quality major league starter's hold their velocity throughout their starts. They may cruise for a bit, but have it when they want it. Typically command goes long before velocity.

      Do we not want to throw a left hander and take advantage of the spacious left field?

      4/25: Bowie Wins, Only Team Above .500

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Thank goodness a minor league system is not judged on wins and losses, because they are putting many Ws up of late. Delmarva is pretty much an embarrassment right now from the hitting side. The first real wave of international position prospects have been left wanting after the first month or so of the season. The Shorebirds are scoring a league low 2.29 runs per game and slashing a league worse .182/.259/.263/.523. The Tides pitching outside of Povich and McDermott to a lesser extent has been pretty bad minus a few decent relieves in Vespi, Krook and Charles.  Elias/Sig's thought on being able to identify pitching talent through pitch shapes and spin rates through the draft after the 10th round has been a pretty big failure. Armbruster was the flag ship pitcher and he's been a flop this year so far, though I had already seen major red flags from him last year. Not surprisingly these guys struggle at the high levels and why they were available that late. Glad to see Elias made a change in his draft philosophy last year and went after some younger, higher ceiling guys like Forret vs 21-year old juniors in those later rounds.

      Akin currently has a FIP of 1.11. He’s struck out 15 and walked 3 in 10 innings without yielding a homer.  I consider that well.
