Indiana Thoroughly Outplays Terps at Senior Day in Bloomington 80-62

I am not going to dwell on this game but just present a few facts:

Terps finish 12-6 in Conference and earn the 3rd seed.

1st Game is Friday night at 9 most likely against Wisconsin

Offensively the Terps seemed way out of sync. However, it is clear Melo is starting to play much better–Good sign

Dodd–11 minutes 0 points 3 rebounds, invisible

Nickens—0-5 —o points 2 rebounds –not much to say

Melo—17 pts–3 treys, 4 rebounds 3 assists

Diamond –12 points, 7 rebounds 2 assists

Terps shot 8 foul shots, IU –25—DJ Carstensen was once again the ref today—Terps lost 4th game he refereed

It’s hard to be disappointed with a 24-7 overall record (12-6 in conference) but everyone is

    Tremendous disparity in foul shots seems unrealistic given that IU was far more aggressive defensively.
    But the perception remains, that there is a definite coaching deficiency for Md.
    There is no apparent offensive scheme, with no apparent plays being run. No screens or picks, just one on one attempts.
    Walking the ball up court is just ridiculous, but remains the norm.
    Whenever quick passing on offense is evident , which is too rare, open shots occurr and fouls become more a possibility.
    Defensively Terps are a sieve. Never any ball pressure. Penetration is a given, and loose balls are treated as the plague.
    A totally disjointed unwatchable amalgam of disparate players.

    Just to be thorough regarding the B1G Tournament, Thursday Wisconsin will play the winner of Wednesday’s game between Nebraska and Rutgers and Maryland will play Thursday’s winner on Friday.

    If the women’s tournament is any indicator, don’t be surprised to see teams that had byes struggle to start games. The double bye is a blessing and a curse. It allows a team to win only three times as opposed to four or five to win the title but the extra days off seems to affect their rhythm and the teams that play an early game or two have calmed their nerves, are in rhythm and have a feel for the atmosphere and the arena in general.

    outplayed, out hustled,out coached.

    tired of reading about the refs. md just reaches with their hands on defense. nobody is moving their feet to get in the right position. guys are blowing by them with regularity. that’s why they commit so many fouls. even if the foul shots were even terps lose.

    terps started off really well….leading 12-4. layman hit 2 3s and stone got off a couple of easy 8-10 footers. then crean made adjustments and layman didn’t shoot for about 10 minutes. indiana went on a 37-16 run to close out the half while turgeon and the rest of the empty suits just sat there watching.

    md had 8 offensive rebounds, indiana 9. doesn’t sound too bad except terps had 4 on one possession which is great but only 4 the rest of the game. indiana got every loose ball while the terps stood around.

    for a team with a lot of talent md underperforms far too often. lack of discipline on offense. not aggressive or physical on defense.

    you take a shot a dodd. fine. sulaimon didn’t do well. nickens was 0-5 but he did have 2 air balls. carter played spotty. layman started off well and then disappeared and stone got beat on the boards too man times. no one boxes out. after watching turgeon’s teams for 5 years i’m guessing they really don’t coach that.

    melo shot ok but had 3 turnovers to match his assists and really didn’t get others involved so did he really play well considering he is the point guard. terps lack leadership on the floor to much of the time and they sure lack leadership from the suits.

    next up conference and ncaa tournaments. let’s see if turgeon can make it to his second sweet 16 in his coaching career.

      Pas doué pour les fringues, mais ça me parait vachement relevé (tout un programme) les manières de se nipper, j’avoue que j’y ai jamais apporté d’importance. dommage !

    Turgeon is an excellent recruiter but he is a below average game coach. There is no sign of a decent half court offense. All you see is 4 guys standing around watching Melo dribble.

    Another flaw in his coaching ability is the fact that instead of his team getting better as the year progresses, they actually get worse. The only player who shows improvement is Jake. In fact, Melo and Carter are worse than they were earlier and the bench players have really gone nowhere.
