Why on earth would they let Gillespie have that shot? He's been total doo doo butter all night.

Not much time to be super selective. He was open and close, gotta shoot that.

Knew it was coming all week. Even after the hot start tonight.

I haven’t even followed them closely the last few years and I knew this was happening. Second half was one slow slide to the inevitable.

Yeah because the program is soft. Easiest bet ever and Im pissed. Shoylda just took the Fing moneine at +300

[Mackus]

Plenty of time for a shot

[BSLChrisStoner]

Yikes. Understand you weren't going to shoot 60% in the 2nd half, but just brutal to lose this game.

Too many missed fts.

Bench gave you very little.

Gillespie and Miguel off nights.

Ugh.

[NewMarketSean]

Nope

[Mackus]

Gave that one away

That's a terrible f'ing loss. Just complete meltdown, and totally unacceptable.

Maryland was up by 17 points in this game.

Kevin Willard is now 5-21 in conference road games.

EDIT: Actually 6-21.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

I want him gone.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

He will never win more than 2 games on a neutral court no matter how talented the roster. Gone

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Soft ass program led by a soft ass coach. Im not even joking. Its not just the rage talking.

[Ravens2006]

Queen is soft and a hair slower than he thinks he is. Willard is proving more and more to be ineffective in crunch time. They collectively choke in key situations.

But Evans got another 10 million for the program the other day so... all is well. Locksley and Willard can keep steering mediocre-at-best squads.

This is why we say things like "there aren't 20 teams better than MD" when they're in the "also got votes" group... because they never maintain it for any length of time. I wouldn't believe in their legitimacy if I was a voter either...

[TwentyThirtyFive]

We have a baseball team, football team and a cbb team all with very good to great talent and all any of them want to do is be soft and choke

Theyve all pushed me to my f'ing limit with their BS

If they give that idiot Josh Allen the MVP

Not a bad loss on paper but obviously disappointing to have it go like that.  But OSU was always going to make a run.  Not going to kill them for losing on a banked 3 of all things.

 

But the lack of a lockdown perimeter defender continues to be their undoing and eventually will sink them this year.  They've got no answer when an opposing guard starts feeling it.  Willard put DHS in and Thornton flew by him like he was standing still.

You can't blow a 17 point lead period. At home or on the road. You can't blow an 11 point lead with under 9 minutes to go. It's not like this was a Duke game in the early 00's where the refs would refuse to call anything on Duke and would call breathing too close to the opponent on MD.  

 

Still waiting for Queen to look dominant offensively against a quality team with guys at or near his size. Feels like everyone has watched the film on him and knows what he does well and doesn't do well at this point. The mouthguard chewing is becoming nothing but a gigantic irritant to me.

[DuffMan]

Refs were bad, but the players didn't help themselves with some of these terrible fouls that they committed.

It happens more often than you think.  At home and on the road, college and pro.  I'm not trying to make excuses, I just think we label these things as "collapses" when in reality there's a reason games are 40 minutes long.  Really at no point last night did I think that was a "safe" lead.  

 

That said, certainly it did seem like they got away from things in the 2nd half offensively that they were doing well in the 1st half.
