Losing to an awful Northwestern team and then Penn St will definitely drop them several seedings in the tourny. Brutal end to the regular season. All their improvement was thrown away in 2 pitiful games. Just awful losses. May have played themselves out if the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for Maryland, Michigan State just pulled off a big win against Michigan and will have revenge on their minds for the beating they took from the Terps a week ago. Plus, the Terps have played like sh!t in their last 2 games. But, I'm sure Turgeon will have them turned around next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George BM Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 2 hours ago, CAPE said: 0z EPS implies flatter wave(s) damping with eastward movement early next week, a similar outcome to one of the common themes of the winter when there has been a strong vortex near the Canadian Maritimes- too much confluence in the wake. GEFS digs a trough along the west coast, with more ridging in the east as the NA vortex departs quicker. Result is a more consolidated system tracking to the NW. Pick your path to defeat, lol. I choose the GEFS option. It will give some of us, especially south, a 1% chance of a MRGL risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really hasn't changed much in 10 years . Opposite of Gary. Gary never really went after the top tier recruits. Especially later in his coaching career at MD.

I recall heading to Steamboat for Spring Break back in 2015 with temps in the 60s at the base.. and yeah that's about as bad as it can get. Since then we've been a lot less haphazard wrt when/where we plan those trips. Pre-covid last year was a pretty good time to head out, and at that time Jackson Hole had a pretty great base, but that mountain is cutthroat! Still one of my favorite experiences skiing out there for sure though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always 5+ min droughts of no scoring and terrible ball movement/turnovers. The last few mins of last nights game was horrendous offensively, and why they didnt try to double that Lundy dude or something I dont know. Only guy on the court that could do much for a while there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Snippet from latest AFD Denver/Boulder- There`s getting to be better agreement now on a large upper low moving slowly from Southern California Thursday across the southern Rockies Saturday and to the central plains by Monday. There are still some differences in the latitude and timing, but really given such a large, slow moving system, they may not be that important. The main story is that there`s a pretty good chance of a prolonged period of at least light snow, and possibly a period of heavy snow, for most of our area. The chance of significant snow looks greatest Friday and Saturday from about Denver southward, though there are some model solutions that have the significant precipitation further north or have steady precipitation all the way from Thursday night through Monday morning. Most model QPF for the Friday through Saturday period ranges from 1 to 3 inches. There are heavier solutions. It should be cold enough for this to be mostly snow, at least at 5000 feet and probably across the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She loves it. My sisters and I are all grown and out of the house, and my dad passed away a few years ago, so MD (across all sports) is my mom's life now. hahahahaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One he'll of a coach though. turgeon's system is just too conservative imo. similar issue that i think jt3 ran into at gtown. both systems play a lot of hot potato which isn't the most fun system for a blue chip recruit. i think systems like that generally suit smaller schools better. gary's flex offense and full court pressure was pretty chaotic at times, but it was probably more fun to play in and that's something that matters to offensive minded players. add to that the analytics that favor pace/3pt shots/easy buckets and i think something may need to change for md to get back to what they were. that said, this analysis is based off a relatively small sample size of games (i'm more of an nba guy), so take this with a grain of salt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 re hoops, i'll say this...the wizards have been playing more inspiring basketball lately, but still think they need a certifiable scoring threat in the post. not having bryant isn't helping that issue. meanwhile, the half court 3 point shots at the all star game last night were ridiculous. if you can't score in today's nba, you better be able to do something else really well, or just be a great "team player" lol.

They went into a tailspin after that loss and eventually suffered a horrible home loss to an average at best Florida State team. After the Florida State loss Juan Dixon and Gary had a face to face sit down and the result was a big change in Gary's handling of the team. They went on to regroup and play superb basketball the rest of the season. They beat Duke at Duke in the rematch. Then lost a tough game to Duke in the ACC tournament semifinals. They had 4 epic battles with Duke during that season that year. Duke went on to win the national championship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
