Late Terrapins Run Pushes Maryland Over Miami, 75-70

As the closing seconds ticked off in the waning moments of Maryland's 75-70 win over Miami, the camera for the ACC Network broadcast closed in on Mark Turgeon, emphatically fist-pumping (with both fists, which is evidently his thing) and hugging his assistant coaches with reckless abandon.
It was, without a doubt, the most energetic and most amped up we've seen Turgeon all year. Why? Well, perhaps because Maryland had finally done something they've struggled with mightily all year long: finish.
The Terrapins have seemed to be at their worst in the closing moments all year long. They've seen 20 point leads turn into 10 point leads, seen 10 point deficits turn into 20 point losses, and, worst of all, seen 5 point leads turn into 5 point deficits. Tonight, though, it was a very different story.
With a little over 1:30 remaining in the game, Maryland trailed by five, 66-61. They promptly went on a 10-0 run, with a gritty James Padgett and-one putback and five critical points from Sean Mosley, who had been otherwise quiet for the entire second half.
Maryland, instead of fading down the stretch, played their best ball when it mattered most. And they were rewarded with a hard-fought, much-needed win - perhaps their most energizing and, dare I say it, heartwarming of the season.
The first half was a game of runs, with Maryland starting out with a 13-3 lead. Miami responded with a switch to a zone defense, which stalled the Terrapins and opened up a chance for the Canes to get back in it. They did exactly that, eventually taking a 25-23 lead. In fact, that was part of a larger 14-1 Miami run, which would push their lead as large as eight. Maryland came back with a 7-0 spurt near the end of the half, closing the gap to 35-31 at half.
The first ten minutes of the second half were a back-and-forth affair, but Miami seemingly took control around the 9:07 mark, when they held a seven-point lead. Maryland's response? Holding the Hurricanes for an 8:50 stretch without a field goal. Maryland was pretty easily the better team the final nine or so minutes, but it would've been for nothing had they not closed out as well as they did.
The first big play came from Sean Mosley, who hit a huge three-pointer at 1:37 to begin Maryland's run. Ashton Pankey blocked DeQuan Jones' jumper on the next possession, with a rugby-esque scrum for the loose ball that the Terrapins crucially won. (Side note: that hustle and grittiness defined this win for Maryland, and it was so good to see.) Pankey would miss a bunny at the other end that would've tied the game, but James Padgett found the rebound and finished an and-one (hitting the free throw and all) that gave the Terrapins a one-point lead.
The Hurricanes turned to Durand Scott for their answer, which wasn't surprising as he'd been one of the best players on the floor all game. But Scott tried to get fancy with his dribble, and Nick Faust saw the loose handle and poked the ball out. (Fitting, as Chris Eckard pointed out on Twitter, given that Maryland honored Johnny Rhodes tonight.) Sean Mosley recovered, hit two free throws, and from then on out it was all smooth sailing.
What was so strange tonight, even more than Maryland finishing so strongly, was that they did it without huge production from Terrell Stoglin. He did finish with 20 points, but five of those points came from late second-half free throws; he was only 6-17 from the floor. It was so odd because the vast majority of those shots weren't the usual questionable Stoglin chucks; with perhaps one or two exceptions, they were good shots, usually open and in rhythm. But he really struggled to hit them.
This was Stoglin's third game in six days, and he averaged 32 minutes across all three. Perhaps he's starting to tire. The good news is that he seemed more dialed into the offense than ever, passing up multiple open looks to feed teammates. Even though Stoglin failed to score a bunch of points, I do think it was actually a relatively strong outing, especially given what Turgeon's looking for out of him.
Sean Mosley played a big role tonight, with scoring bursts at the beginning and end of the game - that three-pointer in particular was a huge shot, one that I hated when he put up but that he had the gumption to take and make. Sometimes you just need a player like that on the floor. It was a big play.
But I was actually a bit more impressed by Maryland's big men. It seems strange to say, because the Terrapins were largely manhandled by Miami's front line in the opening 25 to 30 minutes. But Maryland's bigs reasserted themselves in the second half in a big way, winning the second half rebounding battle 22-10. Alex Len scored eight points down the stretch with several big defensive plays and rebounds thrown in, looking as good as he has since the N.C. State game. Pankey, who's been the topic of a lot of discussion from Maryland fans, finished with 6 points and 7 boards, showing off some confidence he's been lacking earlier in the year.
And, of course, Inspector Padgett, who finished with 16 points on only eight shots, including the essentially game-winning and-on. Who would've expected Padgett to turn into an offensive option in the low post? It's not just putbacks anymore.
(And a quick shoutout to Faust, who wasn't as big offensively as he's been in the past but had the game-clinching steal and four assists.)
Maryland wasn't great tonight. The offense was often very hard to watch, especially because Stoglin struggled. But getting a win, especially one in which they finished so strong, against a potential NCAA tournament team when Stoglin isn't hitting?
No wonder Turgeon was so psyched. I am, too.
More later.

Not True
It’s had its moments. As much as I wish it would, you can’t expect this team to sell out every game. I’ve been at MD the past 4 years and have been apart of some insane atmospheres in Comcast over that span.
I was there for all the Greivis days as well, and there were times where we still didn’t fill half the wall. Nothing come close to as loud as the Duke game in 2010, the UNC blizzard game and Tucker’s buzzer beater.
you can’t expect this team to sell out every game.
Very true, but I do expect there to be more than 200 students at an ACC matchup in February.
"Picture Me Rollin"
I think this team is making critical strides in learning
That is what Turge saw today, which is probably why he was even more pumped than I would had expected.
Great game
My expectations for this season have now been surpassed with 16 wins. Have definitely enjoyed watching this team, even with all those accursed seven minute scoreless droughts.
Whose job am I supposed to call for now?
Are we assuming that Reggie Johnson got hurt?
I realize he wasn’t effective when he did play, but no way he sits that much unless he got banged up.
Pretty fun game to watch. Can’t stand that McKinney Jones guy. Killed us in the first meeting with that 35 footer in first OT. If he hadn’t hit that shot and we won that game, we’d be in a much better position right now. Good game though
I'd pretend to be hurt too
If I had a 7’1’’ white guy with insane hops and cartwheel ability defending me.

Reggie Johnson only played 15 minutes and was stapled to the bench starting with 18:32 remaining in the 2nd (Last appearance in the play-by-play). I think Larranaga’s gonna have to explain that at some point.
I was there
And I couldn’t believe he didn’t play at all in the second half. He had to be hurt. We got dominated on the boards in the 1st half, and then annihilated them in rebounding in the second…
This team can be really tough when they want to be.
Great game. Turges interview seems to have been a good one. If someone finds a link with more on it thatd be cool
Was at the game
Not gonna lie, one of our most mediocre ACC crowds this season. But when Padge got the and 1 with a minute left… loudest comcast has been all year. Only to be surpassed by the noise on the next defensive possession.
Definitely some of the most pure ‘fun’ I’ve had at a terps game. On par with the Georgia Tech double buzzer beaters.
I was at that GT game

Ya that wall didn't look too good
But atleast the crowd was audible tonight… “Miami Sucks” was pretty loud
I thought they were saying "Stop Miami"
by nmcvicker03 on Feb 21, 2012 11:18 PM EST up reply actions
That's what I heard, but apparently it was indeed "Miami Sucks"
The rhythm with the call-and-response is all messed up, so it definitely sounded like Miami was the second word over TV. And, of course, “sucks” sounds a lot like “f__k”.
I agree that it was mediocre
but in terms of per person intensity, it really ratcheted up in the second half. In particular, the last 5 minutes might have been the loudest its been all season and it definitely affected the game. The game seemed lost til the Mosley 3; from then on, the crowd was rocking like it was against Duke, and that was without a great turnout. All the people in my dorm who refused to go now wish they had gone and watched the end on TV, and you have to hope these kinds of wins draw more people to go next game.
With a school of 25,000 students, the student section should be packed on every ACC night. With that said, it was still a ton of fun and I love going to the games and then watching some of the replay on ESPN3.

Most fun I've had all year
along with absolutely killing Pierre Jordan’s (GT) confidence after he had that airball. The crowd obliterated him.

Can you hook me up with a fake student ID?
I promise I will never miss a home game for the rest of your tenure at UMD. Seriously, do the students need to be told when to make it out to an important game?
Man I asked at least 10-15 guys on my floor to go to the game.
And NONE of them wanted to go… Its’ messed up because when we are top 25 next year they all will be going

my regret is not making every game freshman year
its like they are handing you front row seats to acc games for free. why would you say no?
Lets gooo Maryland
the school has almost 40,000 students actually
if it makes it any worse; but you cant expect a lot of these kids to be big bball fans, much less sports fans in general. But I will say we have more than enough to keep packing the house. Especially if we push the undergrad pop towards 80,000 which was the reported plan for the next 10-20 years
while everyone who was there got into it
there is no way that game was as loud as the UNC or puke game. there simply werent enough people in comcast to get that loud
Lets gooo Maryland
Yea what was up with the crowd tonight?
I was at the BC game and it was packed. Crowd looked pretty sparse tonight
This is a lame excuse
but I do know a ton of people with midterms tomorrow.

Packed??????
I was there, it was definitely not packed at the BC game. I would say it was about the same.
by the way...
if VT pulls off this win tonight, we’re sitting ONE game back of 4th in the ACC
We still need atleast 5 more wins overall. With 2 over Duke/FSU/unc or UVA

true..
win @GT, vs UVA..get an easy matchup in the first round of the ACCT, and it probably comes down to our 2nd rd matchup vs one of those 4 teams whether we have a legitimate chance at the NCAAT
by lovethemterps on Feb 21, 2012 11:08 PM EST up reply actions
I'm telling you
IF we win at Chapel hill, finish 8-8 in the ACC, and get a victory in the 2nd round of the ACC tourney against UNC/Duke, we will be firmly affixed on the bubble. A lot of IFS, but stranger things have happened
IF, IF we go 8-8, minimum of 3 wins in the ACC tournament for serious consideration.
We would have three solid wins (ND, UVA, Miami), but we would still need that emphatic win that shows we can play with anybody (Duke or UNC). 8-8 in a down year in the ACC with a 2-6 road record won;t cut it.
This game reminds me of
win against Miami after losing to Duke by 40 the Dave Neal year.
The rebounds were telling to me
In that second half, we just wanted it more. We were going after it, and that made a big difference down the stretch. The rebounds to me is a quantification of our effort.
It was also great to see everyone play team ball, and I mean everyone. Stogs put a grin on Turge’s face despite a mediocre shooting night, to be sure.
Absolutely
Sometimes rebounding is due to size but mostly it’s positioning and flat out effort. The Terps did a great job in the second half after a -5 in the first half I think.
"Have a good time...all the time." - Viv Savage
Great game, haven't seen us play that way down the stretch since the ND game.
The game @GT on Saturday is a little unsettling for me, hope we can go down the ATL and pull out the big win.
I'm predicting 7-9 with a GT win
But would be happier with 8-8. Don’t think 9-7 is going to happen.
I bet Turge's halftime speech
was along the lines of Brenda’s speech against Duke. Emphasizing how the loss before left unfinished business. Had to be ample motivation.
Also, I love how every ACC Network announcer says “rub Testudo’s nose for good luck and come on in!”
saw that
man, if the harrison twins stay more than one year wherever they go, they may be one of the great back courts in the history of college basketball. They are mutliple national championship type players for whoever gets them. Them paired with shaq, len, layman, allen, pankey, padge, pe, maybe even a SENIOR STOGLIN…jeez how is not the best team in at least the ACC?
A team growing up.
15 assists on 26 field goals.
19-22 from the free throw line.
Great way to respond to the UVA game. Gonna be fun to watch down the stretch.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see our boys make some noise in the ACC tourney.
@kckb8 ... #getatme
Turge should be coach of the year. Getting the most out of this team with only one ACC caliber player. Cant wait unitl he gets his own players hear. We will be up there fighting for the title every year.

Was at the game, not a big crowd, but were quite
vocal at times. The first 5 minutes of the game and the critical last 2 minutes. My overall observation is that we WANTED this game more than the better team. Out stats in the last 2 minutes were astounding, rebounds, FTs, boxing out, etc. We beat VT and others because we are better, but clearly Miami was a better team than us. An enormous win. We are sniffin’ an NCAA T invite. Most enjoyable game for me this year, and I’ve been to all but three.
Also,
Any thoughts on why Padge played 25 minutes despite being absolute money all night?
Was he in foul trouble and I didn’t notice?
SVP shouted out just made a reference to Zaching on ESPN!!!

UMD Class of 2014! GO TERPS!!!
Just remembered something
Pankey had a remarkable sequence where he got hit hard in the face, was smarting, ran up court, made a jumper, ran back down, played defense. He didn’t call timeout and he was bailed out by a media timeout. He was still clearly in a bunch of pain but he did his job on the court.
Actually
I think he responds well to stuff like that. A smack in the face is great motivation sometimes, gives you a reason to take it to them. Really good for someone whose biggest problem is focus/energy.
The announcer randomly says 77-75 at the end of the game. Haha

I would just like to point out..
This team may finish with a pretty similar record to the team last year, but they are SO much more likable. It might have something to do with lack of expectations coming into the year, and how the team has overachieved. But I love how the team has battled, winning some games they shouldn’t have won (including some of those “bunnies” in December and January).
The reason this team is so frustrating to watch at time is because they have shown flashes of greatness (especially in the first halves) and when they can’t finish it out, it sucks to watch. Last year’s team never showed half the heart this year’s team has.
I know what is going to happen the rest of the season, were going to win @GT, and were all going to have bubble hopes. Then we’ll play tough @UNC and home vs. UVA, but lose both. Then in the ACCT I could see us winning a game (or two or three). We’ll end the season on the bubble’s bubble, and be a high seed in the NIT.
We’ll all look back and see how great of a coaching job Turgeon had done this season, and this will be my favorite Terp team that didn’t make the tourney. And my god, if we somehow sweep the rest of the season and make the tourney, we’ll look back at this Miami game and say that was the game where it all came together. Let’s get em Dirty Terps!
Great win
“Heartwarming” was a great word to describe this game. Cuz I can’t stop smiling. We battled for 40 straight minutes for the first time this year. Stoglin embraced his (hopefully) new role as a scorer AND a passer. Several times he passed up open looks that he would have taken earlier in the year to zip a pass down low to a wide open Faust/Pankey.
He can even serve as a distraction. On the last possession where Padge had the huge basket and a foul, every single Miami player was looking in the direction of Stoglin, and Faust had a WIDE open lane to drive the ball and kick it to Pankey. Hopefully this win will show the team that other people, such as Padge, Faust, and Mosley, should be confident to take it to the hoop themselves in the last 2 min. instead of relying on Stogs.
All of the questions we had about this team seemed to be answered in a positive manner tonight.
Foul shots? MONEY
Rebounding? Killed em in the second half
Stogs’ selfishness? None to be found
Frontcourt toughness? Pankey, Padge, and Len played huge defensively and offensively
Shout out to Faust, whose game is improving every day and is a joy to watch.
Loved the huge smile on Turge’s face when they won as he bear hugged Pankey and Faust. After the debacle in Virginia, you know how much this hard fought win meant for this team. Glad I could have been there for BY FAR the best home game and game in general this season.
Great win
we’ve won 16 games this year, but tonight was the first time we’ve won a fight. Proud of our guys and was loving Turgeon’s passion on the bench. His reacting to Padge’s put back was unbelievable. Someone who knows how need to GIF that!!!
Being a student.......
Tonight was incredible. I have set front row for Duke, Unc, Miami, BC, Wake, Va Tech, and plan to for Virginia. Other than the Duke and UNC games, this was definitely the most excited the student section has been. Great atmosphere. Having said that, the students really disappoint me and p**s me off. You have free tickets for a division 1 basketball team. This was one the biggest games of the season. If you have mid-terms, you can take 2 hours away from studying and attend the game and show that you have some school spirit. If we win @ Georgia Tech and @ UNC, the student section better be packed/sold out for Virginia. If not, honestly start having them pay for tickets instead of giving them too them. It’s ridiculous. And if they charged money for them, it would really show who the real and dedicated fans are. I expect the time to play with the “win or game home” motto the rest of the season which I think could play to our advantage.
Disagree
Can’t have the students pay for tickets because we would be complaining about the student section even more. Also if they are too expensive, even some die hards won’t be able to make it. 10 bucks may not seem like a lot but that money adds up

I think it's stupid to complain about the lack of fans showing up
Let’s face it, this team hasn’t shown fans reasons why they should show up. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a student and i’ve been at EVERY SINGLE home game (men and womens) and watched all their away games, but some students just aren’t interested. There is no excuse, the fake fans came out for duke/unc games and we lost both, after leading, so students feel that we suck. Which would be understandable if i was a casual fan. They don’t understand that we are going through a new coaching staff, losing HUGE players like Jordan williams, plus all the seniors. Losing Pe’shon, our only point guard. They don’t care about that, they only care about win/loss, and quite frankly, we’ve lost alot lol.
That being said This game was so sweet. Revenge is so sweet. Ever since we played at Miami a few weeks ago, i’ve waited for this game so long. Like Brenda Frese said, we have “unfinished business” and we handled it tonight. James Padgett was the player of the GAME. he deserved it. He came through so many times, i loved it! I’ve said since the beginning that he’s so underrated. I was at this game, and the student section went CRAZY on his 3 point play. Ashton Pankey played with more toughness tonight and went for the rebounds really well. I LOVEDDDDDDDDDDDD Alex Len’s block! Perfect! He’s getting there, slowly but surely.
Sean Mosley stepped up like a senior should. I loved seeing him and Turgeon hug it out in the end. Turgeon is an AMAZING coach, so glad he’s here. He’s finally getting the team to play together, and be a family. I love this team. Can’t wait for us to be top 25 next year so I can say i was there last year when the team was down, and i’m here again while the team is doing great
I'm a student too
but man, we got to do a better job. There are 25k undergrads and we can’t fill a 4k student section for every home game? That’s a shame! I hate scan and leave. We really have to encourage our friends to come out and support the team.
No reason to show up? Are you serious? I am stuck in freaking Alabama, have an actual job, and drive hundreds of miles to go to our AWAY games throughout the South. What could the average student possible have to do on a Tuesday night that is anywhere near as fun (or free!) than go to a home game.
I realize this is a problem throughout college basketball right now, but that is no excuse.

Every student always has at least eight exams the morning after every MD home game. It is just a quirk of the schedule, I guess.
Not to sound like an ass, but I went to a good college and a very good law school. Never got anything but As and absolutely never went more than a day without taking a break long enough to enjoy a basketball game. Perhaps you were too busy last night, but what about your 24,999 classmates?
Agree with this. Bring your laptop and notes with you to the game. Study for the hour so you are there. All 24,000 students were not studying at once last night, believe that one.

Here's what pisses me off
There are some students who camp out hours (even a full day) for duke and unc. They get front row seats behind the camera. Then after those games, they are nowhere to be found. Seriously, what the fuck?
by nhlnflnba18414 on Feb 22, 2012 10:04 AM EST up reply actions
The front row folks are pretty consistent. (I was one of them sometimes) They get to the gates a half hour before they open (so 2hrs before the game) just to rush down and get the best seats. Big props to the folks who do that every game.
not for duke/unc
The guys who sit front row for every game except duke/unc were forced to sit a few rows back for those two games. I am serious. I somehow got my seats in section 115 and I didn’t recognize anyone in the first few rows of section 114. Hate to keep being bitchy but something NEEDS to be done about this for future games next year.

I agree with discuit
The ones that make the line that early are pretty consistent. However, I have heard that some students camp out and then let people in the line for money. I don’t know if it’s true, but I’ve heard it. I think part of the solution to this problem is for us students to form a student group like The Crew. Next season will be my senior year, but if any student is interested e-mail me at rrosales@terpmail.umd.edu
I like this idea
I like that the crew is consistent but their chants and attitude towards the game is too non-hostile. I remember at a soccer game they criticized me for cursing. A great Maryland student section needs to be loud and hostile. Hopefully this new group can work out for next year when getting seats for will be a little tougher b/c we will be better

song
Hey guys, this is probably gonna seem very random and slightly strange (since this is my first post) but here goes. Last night there was a point late in the game (I believe UMD had just cut the Miami lead to 1 or 2) where the PA system was playing some techno music to pump up the crowd during a timeout. The camera started focused on a kid in a black “sucks to be U” shirt and then panned out and showed the students jumping around and clapping to the beat. I’ve heard the song a few times earlier this year but I couldn’t figure out what it was. Does any one know which song I’m talking about and what it is? It was driving me crazy last night. Anyway, thanks in advance if anyone can answer this…and go Terps!
We found love by Rihanna?
That’s what I remember. But maybe if you go to espn3.com n watch the replay you can try to figure it out. Sorry if I wasn’t any help!
I know what you're talking about. It's new this year.
I’m gonna try to find out what it is. It’s tough when there’s like 50 techno songs called “Turn me on”
i think you mean
take over control by afrojack
Thanks.
I’ll check to see if that’s it. Unfortunately for me Time Warner Cable won’t let me watch ESPN3 unless I have their cable service and I only have their internet.
Great Win
The doom and gloom is gone from this weekend. Strong effort on the home floor to beat a pretty good Canes team.
Impressed with the development of James Padgett. Slowly developing into more than just a garbage man underneath. Made some nice post moves with touch on the block.
Sean Mosely hit maybe one of the biggest shots of his career. It’s sounds a bit overstated but unless I really missing something it was.
Stoglin is a scorer who still finds ways to end up in the stat sheet even when his shot isn’t always on. Passing up the wide open three for an open Nick Faust is progress. I was even more impressed that it was late in the game.
I’m convinced now that Pankey just needs to get mad to play well. He seems to respond better when he is challenged.
I was very happy to see Turgeon and the team get this one. His emotion was genuine at the end

Can't say enough about the job Faust did...
…for a PG to lead the team in assists is expected, but to ALSO lead the team in rebounds is a BEASTLY performance.
all that ranting about free throws killing us back in november. look at them now.
padgett and faust icing from the line all day. stoglin’s defense was really pretty good for 98% of the game. but faust’s rip at the end of the game was completely unplanned for. turgeon usually has them bounce back from a really bad loss and i respect that.
