If you listened to Terp Talk last night my sentiment was “Overreaction” to the blowout loss at FSU. It happens on the road sometimes. I know that, the experts know that, that’s why almost inexplicably the Terps were 4 1/2 point favorites. Everyone left Comcast feeling much better about Maryland and Coach Turgeon last night—I would hope.
Basically Maryland out-toughed Notre Dame in the 2nd half. Mitchell and Shaq were forces in the paint finishing with 17 points combined. The entire team made the Irish pay when they went inside, sending ND to the foul line where misses were aplenty.
After blanking in the first half Dez, came back with 17 including 11-13 from the foul line. Maryland managed a meager 25 points in the 1st half but closed with 49 in the 2nd.
Turgeon made a point to comment on Nick Faust’s defense in the 2nd half. Faust also hit the dagger 3 to put the game away. Seth Allen went 27 minutes and scored 13 points with 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 0 turnovers.
Turgeon abandoned his freelance substitution in the 2nd half and went more situational, even playing Dez at the point for 6 minutes or so.
Because ND was in a zone most of the game. Roddy only saw 8 quiet minutes of action. Once again jake and Evan were quiet combining for 5-19 shooting. Both however, like the team, were aggressive all night.
The Terps are now 3-2 in conference with their next game Monday night at NC State.
