ND-MD Game thread

[sarals24]

As much talk as there was about Achonwa going down, I really think that at this point in the tourney you can win it with great guard play. ND's guards are really, really good.

Another insane foul call for ND, It never ends.

Louisville would have played better than the Terps.

You could name 5-10 teams that would have played better than this.

 

[JellyBean]

Wow. Maryland is throwing in the towel. The goal on defense is to stop the ball. Hello...stop McBride!!!

 

[ASweet3781]

I can only hope if we play ND, we don't just stand there and let them get offensive board after offensive board.

That MD post player didn't even move for the rebound.

 

[sarals24]

Great adjustments, Brenda. You went from not rebounding to not rebounding and giving up and-ones on putbacks.

Good point! Guards definitely do the heavy lifting this time of year.

There have only been a couple of questionable calls for ND. However, nothing could make up for the way ND is dominating this game. They were better prepared and in a better state of mind.

Especially on the mens' side. Luckily we have great guards AND great bigs.

After not even moving for a rebound, that same MD post player (Howard?) jogs back and gets beat down the court by Reimer for a lay up.

Slow motion.

Milford, have you been on Twitter?

Somehow I think Louisville would have put forth a much better effort against ND than we're seeing from Maryland.

I thought MD had a solid chance at the upset because they had finally been playing some solid basketball. I completely forgot my core mantra "Brenda Frese cannot coach." "Brenda Frese cannot coach."

 

[sarals24]

The vast gulf in coaching ability is being exposed here.

They all floppers -- and pretty shameless ones at that. I cannot believe that the officiating community hasn't caught on to Muffet's act over the years.

Your count and my count are a little off

 

[GoUconn7961]

This is painful. MD needs a mercy rule. ND scary good.

 

[sarals24]

Can we just call this at the 10 minute mark and start the UConn game?

 

[semper]

Yes...and we get to play a great coach tonight and another great coach (should we win) in the final.

 

[ASweet3781]

This is what happens when you start handing out 1 seeds to the SEC like they are on sale.

Baylor probably should have been a 1 over USC or Tenn.

 

[j66kicker]

Let's see if Frese makes any adjustments at halftime....

(pause for laughter...)

Well, guess ND won't remember their name....

 

[CCinCT]

Listening to Dave O'Brien. Didn't realize they taught ND suckup at Syracuse

Thankfully nothing we haven't done before..

Bingo square: Skylar looking at her phone.

This goes to show how laughable Tennessee was as a 1 seed. Maryland owned them, and is now down 23 to a team without their best post.
