I really mean no offense especially to the Maryland fans (who I like) and I think it would have been a hell of a game with South Carolina, but where did the Maryland is awesome thing even come from?

It comes from people putting way too much stock in offense. Everybody sees a flashy offense and gets googly eyes.. then that flashy offense goes up against a halfway decent defense and is stifled.

I didn't pick Texas to win.. but am I surprised? No. Defense will keep you in the game more often than not.

Noticing a lot of people (specifically non-Gamecock fans) saying Texas has no shot against SC.

SC fans know better than to not underestimate a Vic Schaefer coached team.

Did you say that right or did you mean SC fans know better than to underestimate a Vic Schaefer coached team?

Impressive to hold MD to 32 but don’t think UT has enough to outscore then.
Expand ...
I didn't think so either. Somehow we "out-offensed" the Terps in the second half by 10 points!

Ha, yeah I corrected it.

SC fans know better than to underestimate Vic is what I meant to say.

Reminded me of when Louisville beat Baylor back in 2013.

I think Geno sent them a complimentary gift for knocking Baylor out of the bracket, clearing the way for UConn to win their first of four NC’s in a row. Baylor would have been a much tougher game than Louisville proved to be. I’m not sure UConn would have won. 😳

During the game on Saturday night, Debie Antonelli was predicting Maryland would hang a hundred on Texas. When Mowens stated about Texas' defense, Antonelli backed down to at least 80 points. :cool:

Ha!! There goes her credibility.

Yes. I said defense in my original post.

edit--Texas is 4-9, so it's a wash
Expand ...
Final 3-point shooting:

Texas: 6-15 (40%)
Maryland: 5-22 (23%)

So, you were right; Texas did not hold them to our tournament average of 17.4% defense on 3-pointers . . .

I thought Maryland would beat Texas something like 68-60, but definitely not shocking to me it went the other way.

That was a great game.

Huge respect for Vic who I think got every ounce out of what he had at Miss State.

No doubt he has the defense to where they can take Carolina down without too much issue.

It's the juiciest matchup we could have been given.

It’s just all around the definition of yikes

Someone else followed up and said there is a reason UConn players are not allowed to use twitter during the season. She’s definitely heated in the moment

She definitely is.... hopefully she doesn’t transfer but Maryland doesn’t have a great track record keeping top player these days

Totally agree. I’m also hoping she stays. She’s a great player. Going to be big for them next year, that would be a big blow for them.
 
This was a terrific game, tonight. Dawn vs. Vic on Tuesday night; always worth the price of admission.
 
Reese's brother is playing for the men's team next year so it's hard to see her leaving. But with Maryland you never know.

Yeah.... I couldn't even buy alcohol the last time she [Tara] won.

Close so many times. Some years Stanford had a great team but ran into a UConn or other team that was even better. Some years a key player got injured... Sigh. I have my fingers and toes crossed for this year!
 
This was what I expected from Texas at the start of the season. I thought they were going to be a threat to Baylor and beat them at least once. They proceeded to make me eat my words, but now look. I can't take any credit for my early season prediction because they played too crappy for most of the season. They had talented players and I thought the coach would have them playing well earlier, but better late than never.
 
Tara at Stanford and Gunter/Chapman at LSU were trying out their Buffalo Bill's impressions in the 2000s - five FF in a row with no championship to show. LSU from 2004-2008 and Tara from 2008-12 - then Muffet horned in on the action and went 2011-15 with no championship. Muffet finally got back and won her second after two years of second weekend disappointments.

I miss the days of LSU choking in 5 straight final fours. These days we are near a decade without an NCAAT win

I guess we have to wait it out one more year before we move on from Fargas.
