12,000 Watch as SCS Weaves its Way into 61-46 Loss vs the Terrapins

SCS= South Carolina State

Weave can indicate a stalling method to keep a game close

In this particular game the weave continued as South Carolina State hopelessly trailed in the contest. It was an unusual strategy . I guess if the opponent hit every shot it could have been close. Anyway  Mayland seemed to be lulled into the boredom of the game.

The Terps were just too big and strong for the Bulldogs. Some points of interest about the game.

Turgeon’s first comments were about the strong attendance for this game and he went on to agree with my assessment that it just wasn’t a fun game to watch. 

“It’s a win. I was pleased with the attendance today; we had 12,000 people for a Saturday afternoon game. The students were good; they were into the game. It wasn’t really a game that you could get into very easily. We made free-throws–18 out of 22. Our field goal percentage defense was really good again. They made quite a few shots late. Besides that it wasn’t really a fun game to be a part of to be honest. We didn’t make shots that we have been making. They could stay zone and in their delay game because we could never get separation since we couldn’t make a shot throughout the game. It’s a `W’, and we will move on and take the day off tomorrow, and hope to get better in practice on Monday.”

PeShon connected on a few open shots today. It just seems that when he does nail the jumper, other openings occur and he sure can deliver the pass.  Alex Len led the Terps with 13 points on 5-8 shooting.

Jake Layman continues to struggle with his outside shot . Everyone has to remember that he is a freshman and must be given the chance to ease into his game and find himself with this team. Jake plays hard and tough and must not get discouraged by his slow start on offense.  His game looks fluid to e and he will make an impact before this season ends.

Maryland (8-1) won its eighth straight game since a season-opening loss to defending national champion Kentucky. The last time the Terrapins won eight games in a row was the 2006-2007 season, when they opened with eight straight wins.

 The turnout was a positive sign. For those followers of terptalk.com, I have always pointed out that Saturday afternoon games seem to be the best draw for the Terps, regardless of the opponents. Today was no exception.
Maryland’s next opponent Monmouth (5-5) fell to Syracuse 108-56 today.
