It is good that the Terps got a share of the B10.  It seems a little empty, in that they did not win it out right.  They get more rest and play Friday night.  Hoping for a good showing and it would be great to play on Sunday.  Turgeon needs a good showing.

The key to me, is to have Ayala and Wiggins play well.  They were both very good and Maryland took care of a pretty good team, without a lot of anxiety.

I get what you're saying about having to share the title but I think it's still an incredible accomplishment for this team given how strong and deep the Big Ten was this season. I saw this in a tweet yesterday and it really put the whole thing into perspective for me:

 

Maryland has been in the Big Ten since 2014 and has a basketball conference championship. OSU last won in 2012, Illinois in 2004, Minnesota in 1982, Iowa in 1979, Northwestern in 1933.

Fair enough.  It is certainly a noteworthy accomplishment and one worth celebrating.  They get there banner.  Hopefully they have a good weekend coming up and it will feel even better.

Smith and Cowan both 1st Team All Big Ten. 
Morsell Honorable Mention.
Wiggins 6th Man of the Year.

The one that surprises me is Wiggins,  I think he is really talented but I think his year was very inconsistent.

Happy for them all though.

Balt Sun: Maryland basketball season ends with potential, just as it began, and more takeaways from shortened campaign

The article does not paint a sunny picture for next year, but we all kind of knew that.

 

I suspect Marial will leave along with Sticks, so that leaves Turgeon with 3 scholarships, maybe more.  With the NCAA suspending the transfer portal for the short term, the rush to recruit, when it opens will be interesting.

Doesn't he also have the 2 scholarships from the twins?

 

I really don't think Marial will leave.  I could see us being passably okay if he stays.  If he doesn't, we will be terrible.
