I feel like I aged watching this game. Shot after shot in the 2nd half missed the mark, many of them simple cutbacks. This team just does not play well on the road. Check out these facts:
Ashton Pankey 0-8 from the field—0 points
The team shoots 34% from the field
10 turnovers 7 assists
Stogs is showing the effects of constant double team-body is very weary —shot is off 5-17 from the field
And yet the Terps lost by 1
Now do you realize how weak the Yellowjackets are!!!!
Postgame from a devastated Mark Turgeon
Opening Statement
“I thought Georgia Tech was great from the beginning. Started out great, made shots. Second half, they were tougher than we were. Their big guys kicked our big guys’ tails. Holsey was great. Their interior defense was great. They wanted it more. They were better today.”
On the slow start
“I thought we were growing up, I really did. But today showed that we haven’t grown up all the way, we weren’t ready to play. The first three they hit, they run the same play every game. We drew it up right before tipoff. With that said, we had a nine-point lead and they out-toughed us. And they tried to let us get back there in the end. The kid made a big shot for them. We just couldn’t make a play. We got a little bit selfish on offense which we tend to do. It’s disappointing.”
On the offensive woes
“We missed a lot of bunnies. We missed a lot of layups. They got physical and we couldn’t handle it. Execution wasn’t great. Shot selection wasn’t great. So it was probably a combination of all of those things during that stretch that hurt us.”
Now the hole the Terps have dug is gigantic. The Terps are 16-12 with 2 regular season games left. Just to make the NIT , they probably will have to win at least 3 more games. Not such a great predicament
