Maryland looked pretty good against Illinois too....... You need a hug Roy..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryland could've beaten any team in the nation by 20 points that day, they looked unstoppable. Didn't help us that our best perimeter defender was out for the second half.

We didn't show up in no where Connecticut, that we know. also Maryland looks like a lot better than most thought. Both are true. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a combination of both. Maryland is flat out GREAT. They're one of the best teams in the nation. We played a poor game that day, maybe in part due to it being our first road game, most likely due to being shell-shocked by the 10th-ranked pre-season Big 10 team playing like a top-5 team in the country and shooting 105% from the floor. It can be both at the same time. I'm much more mad about Auburn than Maryland, as we all should be frankly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 i think bad shooting days (free throws or from the field) happen. there are no excuse for lack of effort and bad mechanics that appear lazy. it i am getting my behind waxed it would make me play even harder not less than all out. and if you want to say they did but it just looked that way, whatever. from my seat they sure appeared to be standing, reaching, not paying attention, etc. i.e. just not playing intense. and there isnt an excuse for that in my mind that is acceptable.

I've seen teams get blown out by 30 and still make it to the final four. Bad games happen. Teams move on. Our future will be determined by our ability to win on the road not some game in mid November where everything went wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BACKHANDtheRICAN Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 It’s odd we’re all trying to find reasons to feel good….does any one have ice cream they can pass around while we do this? we aren’t making the tournament unless we win the A10.

The goal has always been to win the regular season title. That will get us an at large if we don’t win the tournament. cgeldmacher likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people had a hard time even imagining Perkins might not come back playing at his prior level, but the reality did not match the expectation. By now we know that this season will not be a cake walk down victory lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the 2 losses. 6-3? Let's say we had 2 or 3 away losses. Given the NET system, is it best to have the away losses be against the worst teams in the conference, which would mean wins at Dayton, UMass, Davidson, VCU, etc...., or would we want the losses to come against the best away opponents on our schedule? I'm asking seriously. I can't tell to what extent the "it's who you beat" arithmetic applies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
