Maryland fights back led by Fatts and it is tied with 34.1

[Mike B]

Last second heart break??

[You Play to Win the Game]

That was just so bad. Give up a wide open 3 attempt that Greer misses, then cough up a sloppy offensive rebound. NW ball after the timeout with 3.2 left in OT tied up. Ugh.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Lol Fatts almost ends it, but it doesn’t fall, 2OT here we come.

[Mike B]

Double OT.  Fatts just missed.

Post season aspirations????

Hummel, both these teams kissed their aspirations good bye.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Nance hurt his ankle and is leaving the game. Huge loss for Northwestern down 4.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Maybe feed Wahab if the opportunity presents itself with Nance out.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Terps grab 3 offensive boards, Northwestern finally fouls this time, 46 seconds left, Fatts to the line up 4.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Greer fouled out.

Nance is back on the court though, definitely not 100%.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Beran now fouled out. NW with 2 starters remaining.

Fatts hits both free throws to put MD up 5 with 20 seconds left.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Wahab to the line.

[BSLZackKiesel]

Maryland wins, 94-87 in double overtime.

 

They'll return home to face Rutgers on Saturday afternoon.

[BSLMikeLowe]

What the hell was that? Hard to get excited after what was nearly one of the most disgraceful losses in program history. Donte Scott should have to hitchhike back to College Park.

[Mike B]

VICTORY….Up 6 with .4…..I think we can call this one, this time

[Mike B]

94 to 87…had it all the way

[You Play to Win the Game]

Maryland wins 94-87.

No long scoring droughts down the stretch, just really bad decisions and sloppiness.

Happy for them to pull this out and get their first conference win. With Rutgers next up at home, followed by Penn State, this is their opportunity to climb back into it a little bit. Big difference between 1-4 and 0-5. Although, I think ultimately they’re done. I just want something to root for.

Ayala with 26
Fatts with 22
Hart with 18
Scott with 17 but a terrible sequence late which fouled him out and ultimately brought the game to OT in the first place
Wahab still just nothing, Nance abused him all night, he’s really bad.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Reese struggled. He’s in a slump. Martinez missed his 3 shots and was poor defensively. Green with 4 and 8 rebounds, had some nice moments. Ayala added 11 rebounds for the double double.

Happy to finally get a win even if it took until damn near midnight.  Also this will allow us to move on from Donta's worst minute as a Terp rather than be angry at him about it for a while.  

 

Hart is the big story recently, IMO.  He's gone from a passable starter to a valuable player.  Still surprised every time he makes a jumper with his weird release, but it works for him, and he's now using his size to score over smaller defenders inside.  Of the top-6 guys preseason, he was #6, but he's been by far the most improved over expectations on the roster.

 

Still think the team is less than the sum of their parts.  Just can't seem to get everyone on the same page.  Guards struggled early while bigs were playing better.  Now that the 4 guards are all playing pretty well, the bigs have disappeared and can't cover without fouling.  With very few exceptions still haven't gotten any contributions from guys beyond the 6th man.  Green was great against Wisconsin but nothing otherwise and Martinez hasn't even had that one nice game to flash.

I said, earlier in the thread, I could not recall Martinez making a shot.  He even missed a dunk last night. Green at least hit 2 shots last night and battled defensively.  Wahab did nothing until he had a few nice plays in OT.

Reese provided nothing last night, on both sides of the court.
