MD at SHU

Nope, it was Brian O’Connell who worked the Final Four last year. Everybody has an off night.
I would say SHUs win is MUCH better for the perception of our program in our recruiting territory than if SHU lost. Maryland will still be ranked regardless and now so will SHU.

Trap game for Maryland? Maybe when they saw our score and the injuries for SHU, they assumed it would be a cakewalk. Teams can't always flip a switch and start playing well if they didn't show up ready to play hard. Meanwhile, SHU regrouped and came out focused on making a statement.
Maryland clearly is over rated losing to a Seton Hall team playing without their two leading scorers.It was a hard game to watch because both teams were shooting bricks.Seton Hall won because of defense,blocked shots and fast break baskets off of turnovers.
Does a man get angry when an ant bites his ankle? No..the man doesn't know the ant exists.
They can win all they want. Doesn't change the fact that they played us like a pack of 12 year old girls.
Speaking of an ant bite on the ankle. I was down in the U.S. Virgin Islands recently, where ants bit my ankle repeatedly. I scratched my ankle raw. It was a bad experience.
just calling out that 1 play which COULD have been huge impact. down by 4 with 3 foul shots end game on a TOTAL missed call.
Yeah, Seton Hall just kicked some Terrapin butt, it was hard for me to watch. I was saying in another post that I thought this was going to be tough, because my Terps aren't as good as all the hype they've gotten.
Mark Turgeon has taken the program as far as he is going to take it. He has upgraded the talent from what he inherited which Maryland fans should be very grateful for, but he has had nine seasons and he's not getting them past the sweet 16. They may have peaked with the Marquette win. Maryland has not had the lead for more than 4 minutes in their last three games. That's not leading for a cumulative total of 4 minutes in their last 120 minutes of basketball.
#Atrocious.
I thought with a couple of open looks SHU got early in the game, the halftime score really should not have been as close as it was. At no point, did MD ever deserve to win that game.
The whole point that keeps getting missed by fans, is how teams adjust to missing players, especially starting lineup kids. It's still 5 vs 5 and SHU would up with a kid playing PG (McKnight) that's really a SG and an actual better PG (Nelson) playing almost the entire game at PG.
I don't see this as a situation where McKnight is better as a PG vs SG, but Powell isn't a PG either. Nelson is really the best PG they have, but there's overlapping of skills and scoring.
If you are MD, you have to be asking why they appear to coast through halves or 25 to 30 minutes of games. They looked shocked that they'd have their shots rejected and then got rattled anywhere near the paint.
That game really wasn't close, it should have been double digits by SHU, if I am a Maryland fan, I have a handful of questions but I don't see Turgeon as the main issue. Someone on the roster has to demand better effort from player to player. Not just when shots are going in the basket.

Tony Bennett and his style of play is only going to take them so far. Who cares that they can do well in the regular season. When it comes to the NCAA tournament his style of basketball doesn't work.
In many ways it’s the nature of the college game for almost all teams. You guys were much better than the Bonnies game. We were unable to respond to the punch in the mouth from you. And I suspect Maryland is better than last night. There is a reason few play in the NBA.
The RAC is a great advantage. Prefer playing you away from there. Good luck the rest of the way. Very surprised if you aren’t a bubble team. And who knows.

Did you mean to reply to someone else's post? I didn't mention Tony Bennett or style of play. Also, were you being sarcastic? Because Tony Bennett, and his style of play, won a natty 8 months ago.
I was responding to YOU!
That's what many were saying about Bennett after losing as the 1 seed in 2018. Maybe this year Turgeon makes a deep run. I know the Maryland fan has high expectations of their program. Sometimes you don't realize what you have until you don't have it any more.
Bennett has been to five straight NCAA tournaments (I don't think the program had ever done that before) and had already taken Virginia to an Elite Eight before losing as the No. 1 seed. When Virginia lost it wasn't because they were woefully unprepared to play, as Maryland has been in its last three games, it was because UMBC made 50 percent of its three-pointers. Virginia ran into a buzz saw.
Meanwhile Mark Turgeon has missed the NCAA Tournament as many times as he has made the NCAA Tournament at Maryland. He has never been past the sweet 16 in his entire coaching career. Trust me, the Maryland fan base is more than willing to roll the dice and see what they'll have when they don't have Turgeon anymore. It's not like firing a HOF coach, Maryland deserves better.
There is no comparison between Bennett and Turgeon (other than they coach D1 basketball and are male).
If you look up the ACC record for wins, you will see two Maryland coaches in the top 7. One hasn't coached in the ACC since the 80's and one hasn't coached in the ACC since 2011 but they are still in the top-7. Maryland deserves better.
As of March 2018 they both, to many, took their programs as far as they could.
Just playing Devil's Advocate.
.....and Rutgers fans don't want to hear a guy has only taken his team to the NCAAs half the time.
Whatever.
As I mentioned early Mark Turgeon has missed the NCAA Tournament as many times as he has made the NCAA Tournament at Maryland. If Tony Bennett had the same track record, minus the natty, Virginia fans would still want a change.
Bennett is the best thing to happen to UVa basketball since Terry Holland and he retired in 1990. They should build a statue of Tony Bennett outside of their arena.
