Maryland Terrapins @ Temple Owls: The GameThread

PrintMaryland Terrapins at Temple Owls, Jan 21, 2012 11:00 AM EST
Ridiculously early start at 11:00, but I sort of like it. Give you the rest of the day to dedicate to other things, like the USMNT - who, by the way, will be playing quite a few Terps in their roster tonight vs. Venezuela. Anyway, game is on ESPNU. The Terps game, not USMNT.
Random, Baseless Prediction: Maryland will have an alley-oop in this game, and the receiver will be ... James Padgett? That sounds random and baseless enough.
Prediction: Everything about this game to me is screaming "Maryland shows that they can win, loses their cool, and Temple wins by 7 or so." But maybe they've learned something from previous struggles. My real, head-based prediction is what I said earlier; but screw it, this is the GameThread, so I'll say Terps by 4. And immediately following, a sizable debate about whether this team is NCAA Tournament-good.
Oh, and the guessing game for tonight: we'll return to Alex Len, because I think it's pretty conceivable that he gets shut out (again) or returns to form with a strong performance. Variability is what makes these fun. So give me points + rebounds with minutes as the tie-breaker.

I've had it in for Temple
since this game
http://terrapinstats.com/bb/game.cfm?gameid=2743
14 steals by their two guards (who were basically mauling our guards and no fouls were called). look at the FT discrepancy. 24-7 attempts.

Len
has a good game. 13 points and 8 boards = 21 total

College Gameday is at Pitt today.
The students were chanting A-C-C….felt weird.
Double Double
Len hits back with 14 points and 11 rebounds in 29 minutes.
on my way to the game
Alex Len goes for 18 pts 11 rbs = 29

Any recruits from Philly that might be at the game?
I can only think of Amile J., but wouldn’t think he’d have any interest, unless Temple is on his list stll.
Rysheed Jordan is the only other Philly-area kid I know of that we're recruiting
Don’t think he’d be at the game, though.
Where can I find it online???
ESPN3 and theacc.com don’t have it. HELP!
Prediction...
13 and 7 in 29 minutes. Terps fall by 11.
But seriously, where can I see the game? The wife made me give up our ESPNU cable pkg and this early start time means all the bars don’t open ’til halftime!

Oh, and we’re due for a big win, so tonight: USA 2 Venezuela 0
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
6 points 7 rebounds = 13 with 3 blocks in 29 minutes

It's stupid early here in Los Angeles - still waking up.
Seems like the Terps have the same probelm there.
Did I hear that right?
We make 6 more free throws a game than our opponents? Just think where we’d be if we made 25% more.
they can beat this team
I don’t see an ACC level suffering ‘D’.

The line is Temple by 10 -
which seems a bit high given lack of Owl bigs.
And, how many recall seeing All-American Bill Mlkvy,
the Owl without a vowel?
Nice defensive possessions, good rotation
Better than we’ve seen lately. That’s the type of defense we’re gonna need to see today.
I like the Faust-Parker lineup
Lots of potential between those two. Also a lot of potential for WTF moments. It’ll be interesting.
FAR too many turnovers at this point
really annoying to watch. there’s nothing worse than watching a team that turns the ball over at such a high rate. needs to change
bigs need to control the ball better
think pankey, len and padgett all have at least 1 turnover
I'm glad those truck commercials have disclaimers.
I’ve always thought about doing barrel rolls in my Tacoma.
I hate those commercials.
“Hey, here are a bunch of things our products aren’t actually capable of doing! Buy them!”
Sweet dish by Stogs.
Maybe he COULD be a PG
I like when the announcers think Pankey scored
When he wasn’t even in the game..
The announcer is horrible
Has gotten 2 MD names wrong, and listed Faust as our leading assist man. And we should be winning this game right now.
Nice move to the basket by Faust!
Fear the Turgle!
great feed by Mosley
Totally made that foul happen.
we are definitely better than Temple
we just have to start playing like it. fewer turnovers, tighter defense, and more focus and patience on offense, and i think we’ll be fine.
Barkley's my hero.
Gets busted a couple of years back for trying to get a blow job and is still employed by TNT and Weight Watchers.
Alex needs to play tall for us
He needs to keep his hands up and just make Temple alter shots
Just saw that Davin Meggett is playing in the East-West Shrine game
I hope he get’s drafted. Hard not to like him
How was that NOT over the back???

I think its Moore on Terrell
Terrell is going to have a tough time beating him off the dribble. Terrell needs to get open without the ball. We should be setting picks everywhere for him.
Is there a major difference between the Online Feed and ESPNU.
Seems to be a big lag on some posters.
this game
looks to be one that will be a battle to the end
Why are we playing like we are desperate?
Ned to look for good shots. Patience!
Fear the Turgle!
We need to end this half on a run
offense is so sloppy
that is why he isn't a PG
he gets tunnel vision too much
That was not an offensive on Stogs.
The defender was sliding over.
We need to kill the idea that the Big 10 is sloppy
It’s slow, but usually efficient. This is up-tempo and hideously inefficient. Opposite of Big 10 ball.
horrible if true
For a big guy it can be… I don’t even think espn noticed a 7 footer left the court hobbling… That could be news?
by Terp2B on Jan 21, 2012 11:44 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Painful to watch
God is this ugly – with a capital U. Awful ballhandling decisions, terrible interior defense. Like the parting of the Red Sea. Faust – what the Hell? Does this team practice???
yeah, Faust pushed off too
Defender definitely wasn’t in position though
Pe needs to pass on 3-point shots.
His mid-range shot is much better.

just turned on johnny holliday
And no mention of broken foot? He just said len left with sprained leg?
by Terp2B on Jan 21, 2012 11:46 AM EST via mobile reply actions
I really thought howard was going to help being a pg but all he does is..
Dribble up the court, look lost, and pass it off to stoglin.
only real positive i see
is that i don’t think he will lose the ball attempting to dribble over half court. Once over he will probably make a bad decision however
by formerlyknownasjinsookim on Jan 21, 2012 11:48 AM EST up reply actions
Pe'
Stop shooting, the reason you are wide open is that they know you can’t hit shit.
Penetration and FTs.
And we are not doing so well on either.
Fear the Turgle!
Much better by Mosley on that potential buzzer-beater
Stoglin is the only guy who’s actually looked good.
man
mosely was closer on that shot than hes been on a lot of layups
Only down 3, I'll take it. Striking distance.
Hopefully Len gets back in.
I really think Faust is going to be a BEAST in another year
I hope hes not another cliff tucker
I feel better about him now.
He looks like he feels like he belongs out there now.
Fear the Turgle!
What's frustrating is that we all know that we could easily win this game and we could easily be a better team....
IF we focus and lower the turnovers, IF we’re more patient on our offensive looks, and IF we tighten up our defense. the problem is we are not executing any of our IFs. raises the question: are we really better and can we really win these kinds of games?
These commentators are annoying the crap out of me.
The defender clearly pushed off on Faust before Faust chicken-winged him. By the way they were talking, you would think that Faust punched the kid on his way to the basket.
Sloppy first half on both sides
I hope we wake up (they can stay asleep), and hope that Len is ok!!
Nice
Good to see I’m not the only one staying up ’til 3 to watch the terps….hope they make it worth it
Staying up to 3 on Saturday...
is much easier than it was to wake up at 6am for the game last week. I’m not a morning person.
you and me both
but I have a 1 year old boy….actually tomorrow is is first birthday…so the wife is not so pleased…but hey it’s a Terps game!
Congrats!
You’re still good for a 9am wake up, I say. Just make sure she’s got the coffee waiting. ;)

Florida State replay
Afraid this is gonna be similar to Fla St. Hang around for a half, get blown out in the second. Hope I’m wrong, but EVERYTHING points to that. Esoecially with Len out, altho he has generally been invisible lately. Refs seem to love to call fouls on him.
I must apologize, didn't mean to start craziness by posting lens' broken foot.
Just saw the way he landed and was pessimistic.
I really dont care about len right now
The way he has been playing I honestly would rather have auslander in there giving us some energy

Literally did nothing while he was in there. Miss handled a pass, couldnt defend the p&r or cut off baseline

Unless Pe raises his game
over the remainder of the season, I think he’ll only be a backup PG for us.
He needs to learn PATIENCE
Seems to always be out of control. The exact opposite of what we need in a PG.
That game might get a higher rating than ours.

How does Louisville and Pitt end up getting College Gameday
Mizzou and Baylor play today… C’mon man
how does Pitt get it at all this year
they have arguably played worse than MD has
Len
No word on the injury but he hasn’t come out of the locker room and isn’t warming up before the half.
Not looking good.
alright... are we going to pull this off or fade?
I say we improve and pull it off
Len out
Knoche just said Len has a sprained ankle and is out the rest of the game
Padge and Mose need to step up for Len's absence.
Fear the Turgle!
A little late to the party here,
considering how sloppy we played in the first, we are lucky to be down 3. Hopefully Pe’ stops jacking threes and we use more than 10 seconds off the shot clock a little more often
Once again we are getting NO FOUL CALLS.
FSU part two
lol Maryland
Is it REALLY hard to know that covering the deep shooter is more important than double teaming?
It's unfortunate that there are two halves
because we can never play both of them.

I think this year is really about development.
I thought that they may have a chance a being a bubble team, but that seems unlikely looking at their play right now. Just need to see them continue to improve.

Fuckin Maryland students
pay attention to temple’s. But after this most students will have “finals” every night
This is getting old.
First, Temple’s arena is 1/2 the size of Maryland’s and doesn’t have the mandatory sound deadening acoustics of a 21st century arena like the Comcast Center does.
Second, the team isn’t that great. Don’t act like students have always shown up no matter how the team did. I was there from 2000 to 2004 and can distincly recall the home finale having thousands of empty seats. We were a Final 4 team that year, by the way. This team will be lucky to make the NIT.
Third, the University takes some of the blame. Maryland students were criticized for being crass, classless and saying “You suck.” Oh, the humanity. RR2 pumped up the crowd, and the passion with which thousands of students and other fans chanted was an intimidating force on the other team. Oldsters complained they couldn’t bring their little kids to the game, and administration gave in, and now no more oldsters and little kids show up to the game than before. Since it was banned, Maryland sports has entered the darkest period during my lifetime. You can call that coincidence. I’m not so sure.

But next year would seem so much better
If it weren't for Stogs
Where would we be, Mad?
I think we're still mad
This year is for learning and the team cannot learn if they’re watching on guy play basketball
I'd be fine
with Stoglin chucking the ball up 30 times a game. Everyone around him is mediocre at best at this point in time
Too bad he doesn't have a team around him?
Really. Our frontcourt can’t catch or hold onto the ball, and what’s the point of passing to our other guards? Mosley will pass right back, and Faust will brick.
guys guys
this is a 32 game preseason for next year. always remember that

IMO we need to do a lot more scrimmaging in practice
We look like a team that has been working on all the new things Mark has installed. We just look like we need to learn how to play together and that’s from scrimmaging. Fewer TOs and better foul shooting and we could have won it.
Ok Lets talk about some positives
PeShon was working today! Alittle out of control, but worked his butt off.
How much better or not are Terps since Alabama game?
I know we had Howard today but Len was not a factor today. I think Terps have improved but are still playing like a mid major most of the time. Just biding my time until next years team.
I'm with you
Team is an enigma. Plays above average for stretches, and then plays like dogshit. They are just good enough to make you think that they could go on a run and win some games, but just bad enough to make you realize that probably won’t happen. Can’t wait for Layman, Cleare, et al next year.
Seriously, I'm hoping to at least make the NIT.
NCAAT is about as long a shot as the Giants beating the 49ers tomorrow(sorry, NFC biased hate coming through).
What I want most out of this season is to see progression from Faust and Parker. I want to see Pe’ look for his shot more. I’d love to see Stogs look to pass more, but can’t blame him when there’s nobody competent to pass to at the moment.
Lastly, I hope Len gets back for the duke game, and I want to see him get comfortable with the college game.
Lastly, lastly, I want Berend Weijs to gain 50 lbs.
thankyou for saying the giants will lose
im starting to get a little too much confidence in my gmen and need to knocked back down to earth
I really don't understand
how players of this caliber can hit less than 6 of 10 from the line. Can someone explain that?
focus
This teams focus is awful. It has been since last year

Saddened
when the announcer found a second to casually state that UMD hadn’t been out of the 2nd round of the NCAA tourney since 2003. L – O – L
You had to make me remeber the last second loss vs. MSU.

Oh the horror
You just reminded me of that play. I’m forever haunted by that spot on the court
Don't worry
I wake up in cold sweats to this day. I was AT the game. Nearly had a heart attack at the age of 23
I thought the Terps looked pretty good!
They were decent inside and had moments – Temple is a VERY good team.
This is a time to be disappointed but not negative about this team
I think the future is bright. Its just very difficult to tell right now how good players like Alex and Nick are going to be individually nor how good we are going to be as a team. We are getting use to Mark too. And, I do think that if Nick can simplify his jump shot, he may be one the best players ever to wear the UMD uniform. Having a great B’more guy at UMD with that much potential will keep me coming back. Go Terps!.
Would having Dalonte Hill on the bench
have made a difference?
