Maryland V MSU
- Thread starter SOSHU

An ending we all know to well
Maryland doesn't even get a game tying or winning shot off at the end..

Exciting ending on CBS. Went back and forth. Willard must’ve ripped them a new one as MD allowed 44 in the first half and were down 15. Only allowed 17 in the second.
MSU wins, 61-59. Young had a TO on the final possession for MD with a chance to win or tie. Too much dribbling. Brutal.

BTW that kid Hall was a freshman in that great game at The Rock a few years ago and went like 7/7 out of nowhere is still on MSU, lol.
New place, same result.
The ball was in their best players hands to make a play to tie or win the game. Players gotta make plays. Funny how you never hear what a great play call by Amaker to win vs Oregon. Sha was a player making a play.
Kevin must have wanted to save that last timeout to cash in a Sunday special for a free meal at a local restaurant or something.
woah. i remember this board going nuts that random kid went off. great catch.
as for that team, slow starts losing you games is same old. guys standing doing nothing also same old.
right but when everyone just stands around you allow the defense to put the clamps on that player. they lost the previous game the same exact way .
Nobody's standing still with 6 seconds to go and before they got a chance to do anything Young lost the ball. You want to talk about the previous 39 minutes and change there was a good amount of that. It's a bad team with 3 really good players. But the 5 or 6 times I watched them there's no production from anyone other than their top 3. Long actually gave them something today.
Needed the time to pick a good red wine.

Willard is a solid guy and I backed him fully. He’d do well at a place like Seton Hall. But let’s not forget his success came only after the Big East lost Louisville, UConn, Pitt, Syracuse and the major downfall of Georgetown. Five top 25 programs he no longer had to compete with.
I think he’d still do fine at SHU. But he is not suited for major programs

I'll keep harping on this . One NCAA win in 12 years to me is a major red flag ..
Maryland brass overlooked that so let's see how it shakes out.

I think his attitude would fit Sha's style to a T. Wants to win, wants to D up, team guy. I agree he would be a nice player off our bench.
Have u seen his last recruiting class? Totally mailed it in
Yeah he slithered by in a first round win then sent home…again.
I am just not a fan of today’s specific end game strategy.
Yes they got a stop but rebounded the ball with 6 seconds to go, no timeout, let his best player do his thing, and they keyed on him. Young wasn’t passing that ball. Ended up being his 7th turnover of the game.
36 seconds in the game at home and MSU had just entered into the 1 and 1. I try to trap for a steal and then extend the game. Put pressure on the kids to make FTs.
Also if you don’t get a stop (game over). Also if they get an offensive rebound (game over). Too many negative outcomes letting them bleed the clock down like that.
Thank God Sha always calls a TO, as did a McDermott. If you trust your O, always reset and settle kids down.
Unless of course you are Creighton and had one turnover and should have had another that would have ended the game, on out of bound situations.
I always liked Willard and appreciated what he did for our program. Nonetheless, i always thought there was risk for him moving to a bigger program. Maryland will not have patience. He actually had pretty good first year at Maryland. I don't see him making tourney this year unless they make a big end of season run. As a result, the seat next year will be fairly warm. He could easily get run out in 3 years.
I agree. They are in between right now, not awful, but lacking a player or two. Why the disdain by some of our fans? The guy ran a very respectable program.
We most certainly are a high major in a power 6 conference, debatedly the best for basketball.
We play in a major conference but we are in no way a major program. There’s maybe 40 major programs throughout the country. Ask anybody outside the NY metro area and they’ll tell you the same thing. It’s not an insult to us it’s just the facts. If you think otherwise you’re being a homer.
If you play in a power conference and are a high major team then you are a major program.
You can come up with some other term for what you might be talking about. Perhaps you mean highly funded program. But if that's what you mean, then Maryland might not fall into that category. Though it has more resources than Seton Hall, the lion's share goes to football. Like us, they are just now building a practice facility.
Btw, the Big East spends more on men's basketball than any other conference.
Yes I do and there was nothing confusing about it. So again, explain yourself..
It is by league, budget, etc. I think you might be looking for the adjective Blue Blood or perhaps "storied".
Every team in the power 6 conferences are considered high major programs, the records don't matter.
Are Louisville, Michigan and West Virginia mid-major programs because they currently suck?
Seton Hall is clearly a major program. Comments to the contrary are idiotic.
Let me preface this by saying I am so happy that Sha is our coach. Let me also say that the comment that Willard was successful after the breakup of the ridiculously over crowded BE is absurd. We did gain Xavier, Butler and Creighton , three excellent programs. KW brought us to an era of more than respectablility. Let me throw out a few OOC wins; Texas, Michigan , Indiana, Iowa, South Carolina, Texas Tech, Marylsnd(twice), Kentucky, Iowa St. Please add any that I’ve missed.
