It's too little too late - but good to see the good Grevis show up.

Yea, he is playing well...The thing is, when he makes some shots, he looks like he is just going to shoot everytime, no matter what.

Of course, he probably feels like he has to be the one to take the shots because no one else is doing anything.

Congrats to Duke for playing as well as they did. Zoubek had the game of his life.

I will now go light myself on fire.

I laughed. This is what happens when Zoubek neglects to foul himself out - which doesn't happen often. Oh well. We'll live to fight another day.

Yeah I was working but I predicted this onslaught. MD never seems to play in Cameron indoor. Hopefully, its just a tough game that they can shrug off and move on to the next game. You win as many ACC games as you can. I dont know why Sports Guy is p****** all over this thread with Duke junk-this is a Maryland Basketball thread!

Duke was the better team today. MD missed a lot of open looks. Scheyer and Singler both played well. Duke does play good defense and they produce TOs well.

So, with all that written, it is truly a shame that Duke gets such an advantage with the refs. The stats speak for themselves.

At halftime, MD had committed 11 fouls. Duke had 4 fouls. MD shot their first free throws at 14:46 left in the 2nd half and that was on an intentional foul where Nolan Smith grabbed a jersey from behind on a break in such a way that nobody could ignore it. Duke shot 22 free throws. MD shot 11. MD didn't intentionally foul so this wasn't due to MD trying to come back.

Zoubek was called for one moving pick and one over the back. He could have been called for about 4-5 of each. The guy is an oaf. He camped in the lane on the offensive end so many times I lost count yet was never called for 3 seconds.

Duke would have won this game anyway because MD had to shoot well and they didn't, but the ACC has got a real problem with their refs IMO. None of them can ignore the location of the game anymore. MD has clearly gotten more calls at home than on the road this season so it happens for everyone, but the Duke advantage at home is just ridiculous IMO. The refs need to either get more impartial or get replaced. An inability to call things equally because you're scared of getting abused by the fans is something I don't want to see.

LOL...At least you MD fans are consistent with this bs.

Guess what..You guys sucked today..You were totally outclassed in every facet of the game...The 2 teams didn't even belong on the same court.

Bringing the refs up is a joke but typical for MD fans.

At one point in the second half, Duke had been called for 7 fouls...MD had been called for 2.

Oh and btw, if refs called moving picks with any kind of frequency, basketball games would take 5 hours to finish.

Zoubek wasn't over the back as much as he was 5-8 inches taller than everyone else around him.

Don't lump everyone in their with your broad generalizations.

Bottom line is this:

Maryland is an okay that is going to have a tough time against teams with size and good outside shooting. They'll get in the tourney.

Duke is, once again, looking like a good but not a great team. They will never beat a physical team that can shoot. Duke can outclass lesser teams, but they aren't on the same level as the true elite teams in College Hoops.

The thing is, outside of MAYBE Kansas, their are no elite teams this year.

That being said, I think Duke is going to have to have favorable matchups to get to the final 4 and probably to the elite 8 as well.

      Basallo for Miller y/n?

      No doubt Westburg! It looks to me that Mayo’s place on this team next season will be in RF/DH.

      By Philip · Posted

      Defense is important to me. I remember the excruciating development of Mountcastle, where some people insisted his defense was fine, even though he looked awful everywhere but first, and that’s where he ended up. I don’t want the same thing with Mayo or anyone else, for that matter, so sure, I’d trade Mayo(btw, Would you rather have Mayo or Westburg at 3B?) The main point is that Miller is wasted on the As and they aren’t being responsible owners unless they turn him into as much Future Asset as possible. Most of the teams that Can trade for him don’t need him.

      Next year’s problems/dilemmas will come when they arrive. And we can address those things when the appropriate time comes. This season we are playing for a World Series and only have one weak spot on the team… high leverage, weapon at the back of the pen (closer).

      Colton Cowser 2024

      By SemperFi · Posted

      Exactly, the issue is not arm strength it's accuracy which was discussed in another thread-it's a problem.  I think Cowser has looked much better in the field this year and could be the long term answer in LF, he's so fluid for his size, I think the routes will improve but the arm.....When he is struggling at the plate it seems to affects his confidence/defense.  He's also struggling to advance runners.

      Oh okay, you mentioned back-to-back World Series. I think we could add other pitchers not named Miller that could help, and it wouldn't have to include Basallo. Burnes will more than likely not be returning. Means? Wells and Irvin? This isn't what we need right now? okay, so next year? Again, I feel using those type of players in a trade would be better using it for a starter.

      The defensive ability of those guys is a real issue. I agree with that. The issue with the age, is that they would be willing to offload a 25 year uber talent, not in exchange for another 25 year old because that is not their time line. No matter how well Kjerstad/Stowers/Cowser, etc do now, it does nothing for the A’s because they don’t have a strong enough roster around those guys to win right now. Nor do they have the org structure to support winning because their franchise’s future is in so much flux right now given their possible relocation. I am very confident that another suitor could and would beat a Norby, Stowers, McDermott and Tavera (and other spare part) offer. In order to get real value, you have to give up real value (usually). I agree that GMs will want to see/evaluate the Miller show for a bit more time before committing to trade for him. Thankfully the trade deadline is months away. And yes, he is not/will not be our only option. But again, we won’t be able to find a better talent than him.

      Indeed, which outfielders hit better than Cowser too?  Suddenly none of them have looked so great with the bat lately.  There is still a lot to learn about Colton Cowser and how much he can improve.  It's not struck in stone that all of our position players have to come the minors -- at least I don't think it is.
