“We were a train wreck falling off a cliff in the first half,”Mark Turgeon on 62-42 Loss To Alabama

Some observations of a disappointing effort from the Terps:

Remember it’s just the first game and I seriously doubt if we will shoot as poorly the rest of the season

When Sean is 1-8 from the field and Stogs is 0-9—you are just not going to win.

At 10-1 Alabama you kind of knew the game was in jeopardy .

It is very rare that any team doesn’t have a bit of a hot shooting streak in a game. This was the exception.

Pankey (4 points and 10 rebounds) and Padgett (9 points 5 bounds) exhibited great effort but were no match for the Bama bigs. (47-29 in rebounds)  This is why I would have appealed the Len decision but that’s old news.

The Terps play Friday at 6:30 against Colorado on ESPN 3

Faust played a respectable game for a Freshman at the point with 3 assists and but 2 turnovers in 26 minutes.

Not much help from the walkons but that is to be expected.

in 2 games Terps are 2-21 from the 3 point line.

Something bothers me when I have to listen to a Tar Heel (Hubert davis) ridicule Maryland.

As Coach Turgeon said–Never watch the replay of this game.

Period. I’m out. Tomorrow is another day!!!

    The problem is, Gary just couldn’t see talent in the last 5-7 years.
    Too many busts.

    The thing that has kept MD from being a GREAT team the last 3 or so years was the lack of a true 2.
    Mosely, is a terrible shooter. Always has been, and isn’t getting any better. He misses more wide open shots than anyone I have ever seen.
    The problem then is, he is also terribly unathletic. He misses easy layups, and short shots because he just isn’t agile.
    He has to be the biggest bust in MD history.

    He passes Mike Jones simpy because Jones hit the 3 to give MD the ACC tourney. And, he also had some big games here and there. Mosely is just bad.
    Plays good defense, and hustles, but that doesn’t make up for his horrid offense enough to be a starting 2 in the ACC.

    He would have been far better going to like Towson. Loyola for JP.

    Faust is a freshman. 2 games, but seeing his FT shots, uh-oh. I hope it’s not another case of over-rated MD recruiting.

    The thing I wanna yell at the TV, when they are going over the lineups, yeah Alabama has that 1 5 star kid, which we know Gary could NEVER get, but EVERYBODY on MD’s top 7 is a Rival’s 150.

    Parker and Faust are top 50. Mosely was like 65 if I’m not mistaken.

    You HAVE to have shooters in college hoops. This is going to be a long long season.

    I hope Jake Laymon is the real deal. Sucks Paulson couldn’t hang for 1 more year, because I think he had some of that talent.

    Oh well. Let’s just hope they don’t drop all 3 down in PR.
