Maryland's Long Shot

[RockyMTblue2]

A play on words perhaps?

"But this year the team hasn't gotten the respect its due despite its 32-2 record, and the NCAA did Coach Frese no favors by demoting her team to a third seed — and worse, sticking it in the same region as the Godzilla of college athletics (men's or women's), the University of Connecticut women's basketball team."

Maryland's long shot

I tend to think Maryland in our region did us no favors either. But one way or another, you have to beat ar least two if not more pretty good teams to win it all and it could be game 2 or 3 or game 6. All in all, few people remember the runner up.

Maryland played with a chip on their shoulder yesterday. They can be dangerous when they play that way.

The NCAA committee is playing the psychological game with MD, they wanted to see Uconn dethrone by making MD mad.
I hope Geno knows this and be prepared. But, let's hope Duke will knock them out first.

Don't really think the NCAA cares about what Maryland or any team thinks for that matter. Do they have the time or are they that petty to come up with some sort of psychology to match up the 64 teams?
They mostly match up geographically and by win-loss/schedule strength. Everyone will have an opinion to fairness and bitch.

Not 64 teams. Just whoever they don't like, especially Uconn. Uconn had to beat a very good team today just to get to the sweet 16.

Love the play on words - but nothing will beat DT's halftime bomb against TN at Gampel.

I'm sure Geno will have his team prepared should we meet MD in the regional final..

'The Godzilla of college athletics"... I like it

True...

But way harder to dribble when you're carrying a chip.

Distracting.

No, that's not gonna help.

Nice shot by Destiny. It looked like a soccer throw-in. 75' is impressive.

I too liked the shot by Slocum, but I dont like it that MD is playing so well right now. I think they win through to the regional finals and face the Huskies (East Coast variety, of course). It will be a battle, I think.

I agree. I think Maryland is the 3rd best team now, behind UConn and Baylor. But the game in College Park was close partly due to foul trouble.

This is what we keep forgetting - the game was close because of fouls. At one point UConn was up by 19 points. Sure MD has gotten better and is playing great - but UConn has gotten better (and playing great) too.

Can I say that "there was a reason" UConn was in foul trouble. I think you guys was in foul trouble against Florida State too.

There's always a reason for foul trouble - it just depends on which side of the coin you're on!

And that Katie Lou was vomiting into a trash can.

True, but DT's half-time bomb was at the Civic Center.

My bad!
