Over the course of 40 minutes, you create your own luck. They were soft. Should’ve been a double digit win.

Outrebounded and gave up 44 points in the paint. I think soft is the perfect adjective. Their two bigs were given easy buckets all day, and weren't challenged physically at the rim once.

I'll be happy if they make a Sweet 16 run. Only had 1 of those in the past 20 years.

If you get out rebounded 38-16 it ain’t bad bounces

 

And if you get out rebounded 47-18, like MD did today, it means you are Charmin soft.

 

Michigan had more offensive rebounds (18) than the Terps had defensive boards (14). Soft as a pillow.

 

Only reason MD stayed in this one and had a chance at the end is turnovers (just 6 vs 19 for Mich) and free throws. They got 23 attempts (made 19) vs just 13 attempts at the line for MI....of course when you do practically nothing to defend the basket the way MD often did today, your opponent won't need to go to the line much.

Yahoo app says 38-16 but I’ll trust you

Ahhhhhh!!

Man we've had just brutal buzzer beater results this year. I know Rice made one, but OSU, MSU and now Michigan were all such long shots.

Won't complain too much, it was a great game even if the reasons it were so close was annoying. But damn, missed opportunity. Think Rice is the culprit for the final bucket but admittedly have not wanted to watch the replay more than once. Weak defense all day was the overall flaw moreso than one bad set at the end.

Don't want this season to end. Hoping for a real nice tourney run. Anything shy of Sweet 16 will feel like a letdown.

This one was our own damn fault.  No shot we let Donaldson just sprint across the court without getting a body in front of him.

Willard's next S16 will be his first so good luck with that
