23-14 Indiana.  9 minutes left.

Swanton-Rodger had a block. MD couldn't recover it.

Reese...  nice play there.  Scores while getting fouled.   Was a physical possession. 

[BSLChrisStoner]

Reese was 80% at the line (1.6 attempts) as a Freshman.... 53% last year (4 attempts). 

Harris-Smith scores...

Needed to be another plan outside of Hunter Dickinson.

Reese extends a possession, and Long scores again.

Feels like 30 with how MD struggles to score.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Can't play games hoping to score 60 points.

This team is a mess. If this is any indication, conference play is going to be very, very ugly this year.

You know Derik Queen is watching this, and seeing how well Indiana is utilizing their big men versus Maryland.

It really is inexcusable for MD to have Reese, Young, and Scott back.... and be a mess. 
That experience should have them basically in most / all games, with games swung by what they get from the freshman and depth....  but their inability to knock down shots, create offense in transition, and lack of size has them looking very vulnerable. 

 

Would be much better if this was last year.... we will see how much they can develop during the year. 

 

MD down 12 at the break.

Need to have other plans there I think.

[BSLChrisStoner]

I'm not going to say this every game or I'm going to lose my mind... but... 

 

1) Stop shooting so many 3's...  stop settling.... 

2) Drive to the basket... get to the line....

3) This team has to press and trap regularly imo.... they've got to get offense from defense, and get transition points. 

 

4) With recruiting and the portal.... MD needs shooting and athleticism.
