Maryland v. Purdue (Game Thread)

Post centric offense just doesnt work in todays day and age because it means your big 5's are going to be PnR'd to death on the other end and post up 2 pointers are one of the least efficient shots in basketball. It also leads to high turnovers.

But here we are. I get we have built an identity on it and we have had a successful last decade, but ultimately success is built in March Madness and our ONLY truly great year was when we did NOT have a post centric offense and had a 5 man that could defend the PnR in Haarms

It is no secret how to win in todays age and rule set. But we refuse to play that way

Oh well
 
Dagger. This team is lost. There goes the Big Ten and 1 seed opportunity. At this point, the defense is not going to improve and the offense is showing that we have no answer for a cold shooting night. I have no idea what has happened to our effort, but if it does not come back we are looking at a first weekend loss in the NCAAT.
 
I've been wondering that myself. It's too dramatic of a decline. Something is going on...

Not sure I'd agree with that. Still seem mentally fatigued, which will get you beat. I'll agree with others that the Seniors' response has been disappointing. Adversity - get through it and battle, but you can't expect somebody else to take over.

We shall see.....plenty of time left.....and they have the ability.
 
Well, this season was a nice dream while it lasted. Metrics don’t lie. Not built for March. Apparently not built for February either.

Enjoy the super bowl everyone. Looks like our SB will be on 3/5.

Get ahold of yourself man. This game isn't over.
 
You know that scene in movies where the lady or some guy gets hysterical and archetypal hero slaps them in the face to snap them out of it? That's where some of our fans are now.
