I'm still trying to figure out how Maryland won. Did the scorekeeper mess up? Watching it, the math wasn't adding up.heckmanm said:Well the Hoosiers sure pissed that one away

I got pulled away right as the Kobe stuff broke for maybe a minute. When I left it was a 4 point game and IU had the ball, came back it was a 1 point game. I missed like 20 seconds of game I thinkI'm still trying to figure out how Maryland won. Did the scorekeeper mess up? Watching it, the math wasn't adding up.
I'm a Wisconsin grad and love Brad Davison, so admit my bias, but have to say this is an unfairly harsh punishment. He got a flagrant 1 (after lengthy video review) that dramatically changed the game, which was more than enough punishment imo. I was pissed off at the time, as it effectively gave the game to Iowa and I didn't think a flagrant was warranted. When setting a hard screen in the Big Ten, I think a nut punch is pretty much expected, or at least not in any way unusual. Now they've tacked on a suspension - WTF? I think the Big Ten is setting a difficult precedent here. What is going on when a garden-variety nut punch while fighting through a screen is not only a foul, but a flagrant one AND a suspension? Extremely disappointing for me that its come to this.Glad that B1G finally did a little something about Wisconsin’s Davidson’s #### he’s been pulling(or punching as the case might be) for a couple years now. Should have been more of a punishment IMO. Sounds like he will be watched much closer now going forward by refs and the Conference. About time. Dude is a total ****.
Gonna find out what they're made of the next 3 weeks. 5 of next 6 games are against teams currently ranked.ILLINI in first place!
Yeah, probably one of the best games they've played all year. Makes me wonder why they don't get out and run more often. Significantly better at pressing the pace than they are at the half-court offense.Nice win for Maryland. Never seemed as close as the score indicated during the second half.

I'm really hoping Cletius' post was sarcasm.
If it makes it easier for you, I think Davison is a Minnesota kid, so it should be at least partially acceptable to hate on him.CletiusMaximus said:I'm a Wisconsin grad and love Brad Davison, so admit my bias, but have to say this is an unfairly harsh punishment.

Taking a charge is "dirty" now? WTF is going on with this game? Back in high school, we always covered our nuts when setting screens in the lane because we KNEW A NUT-PUNCH WAS COMING!
Congrats to Anthony Cowan for passing Walt Williams on MD's all-time scoring list. He's 12th now and has a decent shot at finishing 7th - needs about 150 points to catch Lonnie Baxter. He's got no shot at 6th, though, as it's another 150 after that to overtake John Lucas.Yeah, probably one of the best games they've played all year.

Also never hurts when you hit free throws.
You're obviously not familiar with the Badgers 2nd halves. Especially down Davison and KingState continues its pattern of getting blown out in the first half of road games. Just hop on the bus at halftime fellas. Jeebus
Man, you guys are going to hate Brad Davison in a few years.
You’re obviously not familiar with with the Spartan road collapses this season. Pretty much every road loss they were out of it by halftime. They expend way too much unnecessary energy trying to come back in these games.You're obviously not familiar with the Badgers 2nd halves. Especially down Davison and King
They hit a three at the buzzer to make it one.One point loss. Such a wasted opportunity once again.
Ready to fire Izzo yet, or is it just the players that suck?Exactly my point.
Combination bad effort today.Ready to fire Izzo yet, or is it just the players that suck?
That stretch where Tillman missed (I think) 4 layups in the second half was bizarre. He also lost the ball out of bounds under the hoop on a strange play that would have been another zero-footer. I think there was one other missed layup by a different Spartan player during that time - it was uncanny. Quite a bit of luck for Bucky today, but we'll take it.You’re obviously not familiar with with the Spartan road collapses this season. Pretty much every road loss they were out of it by halftime.

Except for Cash, shooting was abysmal again. Tillman was nonexistent. You couldn't make 1 of your 6 missed layups.
One point loss. Such a wasted opportunity once again.
What do Michigan fans think so far about Howard as coach?Big win for Michigan over Rutgers. Needed that one.
No idea how long Livers is going to be out, but we need him back SOON.
Very happy. And very optimistic.What do Michigan fans think so far about Howard as coach?
Every fan base thinks that about their coach. See: Williams, Roy & UNC.Very happy. And very optimistic.
His on court coaching is very solid. He’s not afraid to suspend his best player. He loves his players and they seem to love him back. And his recruiting is A+ so far.
Its early obviously. And not everything is perfect (seems to not use his timeouts well, his rotations are questionable, where is Cole Bajema?) - but so far it seems like a terrific hire.
Yea I agree. I think most Michigan fans are quite pleased with how it has worked out so far.Every fan base thinks that about their coach. See: Williams, Roy & UNC.
From an outsider's POV, it seems like a slam dunk hire considering the best coach Michigan has ever had bolted out of the blue.
Everyone in MD still hate Turgeon?Every fan base thinks that about their coach. See: Williams, Roy & UNC.

Pretty much. I don't hate him, but it took me several years to get REALLY pissed with what he does. @Rich Conway was way out in front on this.Everyone in MD still hate Turgeon?
Agree with this. We got a little overly excited with the big wins early, but this is probably about where we expected to be going into the season. We lost three early entrants to the NBA last year, so even without the coaching change, a step back was expected.Yea I agree. I think most Michigan fans are quite pleased with how it has worked out so far.
This year, the goal is just to be in the tournament. If we can make it to the second weekend, that'd be awesome. But just get in the tournament - solid season. Then go from there.
Possibly is bringing in the best recruiting class for Michigan since the Fab 5. Looks like a solid players coach and using NBA ties and personality to bring in a boatload highly touted recruits. Big men will love to come and be coached by such an accomplished center.What do Michigan fans think so far about Howard as coach?
It won't happen, but there is a case for it. I think they will draw the line at 10, with 9 being likely.
All of this. He's a third tier coach, and Maryland needs a first/second tier to become annual top ten threats. They have consistently underperformed expectations relative to their talent.Pretty much. I don't hate him, but it took me several years to get REALLY pissed with what he does. @Rich Conway was way out in front on this.
I think he's a decent basketball coach, but I don't believe he can win a national championship without catching lightening in a bottle. He doesn't coach to the players he has, yet he has no system. He also sucks at timeouts
Maryland's good. They have zero bad losses and have some good wins. They're just too schizo to make a run through a tournament where they have to play well several games in a row.
I didn't watch the whole game, but they were getting a ton of open looks in the first half. They just couldn't make 'em.PSU winning in East Lansing was a surprise. Maybe they are for real. The B1G is ridiculous this year.
Terps did their usual thing. Defense, free throws, and stagnant offense. Any offensive identity and game plan at all would turn this team into a true contender.
The refs were definitely letting them “play”. It wasn’t pretty to watch.whoknew said:This Mi/OSU game is absurd. The refs aren't calling anything - on either side. As Bilas said, "freedom of movement is dead."
