Found a way not to lose that one. Aren't we effectively locked in as the 3 seed at this point?

I decided to take a nap instead of watch the first half. Wake up early in second half and it’s tied. wtf. Thank god we avoided a dreadful loss there but not sure we deserved it. Maryland looked like they were playing for a tournament bid to Buzz Williams’ credit

Well the pre-game prediction didn't pan out, but at least it's a win....even if we did try to crap ourselves in this one.

We did not keep Mills in check 30 pts, we did not play good 3pt defense, we shot 24 3's while hitting 21% of them????

Mirk got his double double, really thinking we need him back the most next year....he may not be athletic, or have a "pretty" game at all times, but damn he gets the job done more often than not.....he needs to not hang on rims at the end of games....that could have gotten us a tech, think Coach told him the same thing too.

Andrej didn't play enough to get 30, Wagler struggled (kid might be getting worn down-needs that triple bye for sure), Tomi is well "lost" in this offense and he is not shooting well right now nor has he for awhile.

Jake and Ben got there 14, I really think if we can get 14-20 from these 2 the rest of the way, we can play with anyone and have some success. The starters are what they are for the most part......really need Tomi/Boswell and Andrej though for the B1G tourney play and beyond.

Good win............but a lucky one.

Wouldn't mind Mills on next years team at ALL...that kid can play for sure....I like how he creates his own, just not against us.

No kidding. Wisconsin or UCLA as our worst loss is better than either the Ayo 1 seed team or the Elite Eight team two years ago.

Blowing a 23 point lead then losing in overtime via matador defense will always be a bad loss in my book. Especially when it costs us a 2nd round game vs Michigan in the BTT

So you root for teams that don’t even make the tourney. Makes sense, jasn…

He’s trying a bit too hard lately. No one has been biting because they realize that, and PAMan agrees with him. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This. MD played one of their best games of the season. We had a piss poor shooting performance. Still never trailed in the 2nd half.

Well at least 2 of the guys did....Adams/Mills IF Buzz can hold on to them will be formidable for as long as they are there.
