PrintMaryland Terrapins at Clemson Tigers, Feb 7, 2012 7:00 PM EST
Game tips at 7:00 on ESPNU. No kosher stream tonight that I know of, but as always I'm sure if you look in the right places you can find some streams of questionable legality, if that's your sort of thing.
Random, Baseless Prediction: There's another "why doesn't he play more?" performance from Mychal Parker. I'm feeling 5 points, a steal, three rebounds, and solid defense. The Mych bandwagon doubles afterwards.
Prediction: The real question here isn't "Will Maryland beat Clemson?" so much as it is "Has Maryland finally turned the corner?" Or, at least, that's the false choice with which I'll frame this section of the post. And my answer: not sure, but I think they have, so they gut out a close one. People start to talk about the NCAA Tournament again, perhaps foolishly.
Guessing game: Give me Terrell Stoglin's total of points plus made three pointers (21 points + 4 made threes = 25) with number of ill-advised, early-in-the-shot-clock three point attempts as the tiebreaker.

Ben, I know it's early and not likely, but just wondering..
How many ACC wins would you say we would need plus ACC tourney wins to have a strong shot at getting in? Is one win over Duke or UNC absolutely necessary to have any chance?
NCAAT?
We need a minimum of 8 wins in the Conference, and 3 wins in the ACCT to get a shot at the big dance.
We need to go 5-3 down the stretch, and other than BC, there are no easy wins left.
78 is probably right, though a bit heavy on the ACCT
8 wins, plus at least 2 in the tourney. We’d be on the bubble.
NCSOS
Our NCSOS games were pretty lightweight this year. It has kept us in the upper reaches of the RPI/ Kenpom.
And the loss to Iona…..that was ugly. Although the ND win is looking better and better.
We need to split Va, beat FSU, and either Duke or UNC, and everyone else to have a shot at the bubble.
Random, baseless prediction
Bryan Narcisse gets his rec specs knocked off by Pankey with 8 minutes left in the 2nd, which proves to be the critical turning point of the game. Terps proceed to get revved up and go on an 8-0 run to push their lead to double digits. Tanner Smith knocks down a few meaningless 3’s and we win by 7.
For Stogs: 27 points, 3 made 3’s (30). Tiebreaker: 4 chucks early in the shot clock.
If that prediction comes true
you better buy some lotto tickets tonight. Like the strategy of the unlikely prediction.
Man I hope they keep the momentum going
from the two previous games. I thought there was a real danger of a let down after all of the energy and heart the team put into the Miami comeback still resulted in a loss.
22 + 4 = 26, 2 bad 3s.
29
26 points + 3 threes. 2 bad threes. Also, RBP, Pankey finally finishes a monster jam!!!
We finally play a team who we are taller than for the most part.
We NEED to play it inside some today
34
29 pts. + 5 3’s. 4 bad 3’s but 2 go in.
RBP Len finishes 3 oops from Pe’, Stogs and Faust.
I dont think size matters s much against Stoglin as quickness. He's going to get his against anyone
With that being said putting a 5’10ish guy on him is stupid isnt it?
Young
looks 5’8 on a good day. He’s super quick off the dribble, and I haven’t seen enough of Clemson to comment on his D, but Stogs is going to have such an easier time pulling up on him as opposed to someone 6’1 or bigger. I’m assuming Clemson is going to lean heavily on zone to counter Stogs, but again, I could be wrong as I don’t know much about them on the defensive side of the ball.
35
30 points with 5 threes. Tiebreaker of 3 too-early shots.
RBP: Len has more blocks than fouls.
You mean how do you embed a picture?
In the body of the post (the lower part) click the tree, put in the address of the image.
These goggles are anti-swag.
They look like the ones this lil dude I knew had in middle school. 25 years ago. LOL.
I hate ESPNs media selling strategy!
This game is on ESPNU, but not ESPN3 and I can’t get legitimate access to either outlet without a serious expenditure of money and effort.
26 (23 pts + 3 made three), three chucks
Maryland wins this game if Len has a double-double (points and rebounds).
Any other terps fans bet on sports at all?
I put a dime on us at 9. Cant imagine us losing by more than 9 in any way shape or form barring injuries or a collapse. I think the Terps wins a nail biter by three. God help the team that Stoglin shoots 50% against. Its bound to happen here eventually.
Game should be available through WatchESPN.
Since it’s an ESPNU national broadcast, there shouldn’t be any blackout restrictions for those trying to watch online.
You can watch ESPU on WatchESPN only if you have FiOS or Bright House Networks. They allow you to stream ESPN anything on your computer or mobile device

“questionable legality” is one of the few things we old farts have left in this area of real estate.
As i said somewhere...
"questionable legality"
stoglin. 18 + 3 = 21. modest night.
waterbug is a problem. stoglin gets tired defending him. this is a team victory. somebody has a coming out party. or at least a few highlight plays.

that might have been the best pass of padgett's career
recognized a double team and found an open man
i'm not surprised that clemson tried to double team padge
they obviousy have the scouting report that he doesn’t pass. i wonder if they’ll keep doing it and if he’ll recognize it and pass out
Side note: Bino has been more active on the bench recently
I think he’s developing some coaching chops to go along with that recruiting.

Anyone else notice
that Faust’s short are on inside-out
On another note, how is one of the refs from the Miami
game also doing this game? Doesn’t the ACC have any other referees? Mike Eades.
What is Pe'Shon thinking??????????????
Oh wait…he’s not
Agreed
blocking, reaching, all kinds of fouls.
But at the same time, the refs didn’t bail him out for that dumb drive.
Thats 2 stuffs for Pe
How is he not better at finishing?
Howard's IQ is getting worse and worse each game he plays...I don't understand
He needs to understand HE IS NOT STOGLIN….he can’t do what Stogs does.
Pe' (and Stogs) would have a lot more assists
in this game and in every game if people could catch and/or finish.
God Berend…
Those empty seats behind our bench are just laughable.
There’s like one guy in that whole section.
Pe needs to be able to finish
Every PG in the country has some trick to get off a decent look on a drive
is it just me
or does jennings look alot like jalen rose

Cant believe we are winning
Stogs is only good player on either team
Half empty Littlejohn
Anybody comment on this yet? Guess the Clemson folks have seen this team play all year. After that first half, you can’t really blame them.
Len
Would like to know Turge’s reasoning behind leaving Len on the bench for so long during the latter portion of the 1st half. He has 2 fouls, blah, blah, blah. Pankey is ineffective on offense and doesn’t alter any shots on the defensive side. It’s critical for Len’s development that he gets as much playing time down the stretch of this season imo.
Pe is killing us
some of his TOs were his supporting cast but he’s gotta know who he’s playing with. It’s like someone’s in his ear telling him he needs to make the outrageous play, we just need him to be solid and not turn the ball over.
it was an odd surgery to have
when you are a basketball player, but he sure went for it

Should Weijs have caught it? Probably. But then again, it’s Berend Weijs, so why take that chance?

HE's playing with teammates who cant finish
But he cant finish either so….
There's definitely no one in his ear, that's just who he is.
I’ve been calling him Charlie Adam for awhile now, and anyone who watches the EPL will know what I’m talking about. He’s gotta learn when to go for the crazy dish, and when to dial it back and pick his battles.
C'mon Ben
So you’re saying he should not drop dimes because the players around him SUCK!?
*All Terp Everything*
He should be smarter about his passes, yes.
Some of it is a little crazy. A 100mph pass to Mychal Parker isn’t going to work. Nor is 15-foot bounce pass through traffic to Berend Weijs. It doesn’t matter that Pe’ is good enough to get the ball there – it takes two to complete a pass. So we can sit here and chuck awesome dimes to people who can’t catch them, or we can try to figure out something that’ll actually work.
Sorry Ben
That’s how the kid plays. You make him tenative and he plays awfully. How about people like Pankey and Weijs step the fuck up. Don’t fault PeShon for dropping dimes is all I’m saying.
*All Terp Everything*
Because they can't "step up"
It’s hands, what are you going to do? That’s not going to improve anytime soon. I wish he could play that way, but it isn’t working and I’d rather score points.
Yeah I dont think he knows how to play any other way
Once you hesitate, you lose
Had to put babies in bed, missed first half hour of game.
Anything of note? Quality dunks, etc.?
This tape ain't going to the Hall of Fame
To call it sloppy would be VERY generous. Ugly might be closer.

Despite the sloppiness
We are outplaying these guys hands down – so it’s ours to win. Half of our points have been from dunks or free throws and we’re just showing more overall intensity and rhythm than Clemson.
Pe
Anyone giving him grief needs to wise up. He has had about 4 awesome passes that were not converted!! So anyone criticizing his ast:to ratio needs to realize that he is droppin’ dimes, but no one is converting. That’s possible pts that his teammates left out there! Pankey twice, Weijs 1 and another I forget.
*All Terp Everything*
Yea but he should know Weijs can't catch anything by now...it's partly Pehson's fault IMO

Well next time you play PG
I challenge you to stop in the flow of the game, think “Wait, that’s Berend Weijs, if I pass this too hard, he won’t catch it” and then make a decent play.
You have to know your supporting personnel....thats part of being a PG...

If Cleare and Layman have good hands...
And start catching all his bullet passes, don’t go saying that Pe’ all of a sudden got better… he just got the supporting cast. I think Pe’ is getting a bad rap just from people not being able to catch.
I would not say that!
I think he can play well with people who can catch his quick passes….but he has to know when to dial it down for people w/ not as great hands like Weijs, etc…..thats all I;m saying

I said Peshon shouldn’t be throwing bullet passes that some people can catch..others cant…Im not attacking I’m jsut saying you can’t throw the same pass to everyone

Question
Have you guys ever played basketball? You don’t alter the way you play and analyze what happens on the floor. It is not geometry, it is basketball. Pe knows how to play one way. Dropping dimes. So if those people don’t know how to convert he should stop? He should alter the way he plays? He should lightly lob the ball to Pankey and Weijs? BS
*All Terp Everything*
I did, and I was an understand chucker of a 2-guard
Averaged 14 a game in summer Y league in high school. Boo-ya.
To answer your other question, yeah, he should change the way he plays.
Yes.....I have played basketball HS only

Any good point guard
trusts his teammates and passes to them if they are open. Can’t fault Pe’ for making an open pass.
No
You do not tell the PG to stop passing. If anything, our problem is not enough passing. Isn’t that what Turge is always getting on Stogs for?
Maybe the problem isn’t our guards’ passing but just hands… Turge needs to pull out a tennis ball machine in practice or something.
I fear sounding like a racist here
(and let me preface this by saying that I’m a Jew and proud of it)
But Pe’ is dropping dimes, and nobody is feeling Jewish.

Keys to 2nd half
when its a tight game with 8 min left we can’t just go into “stand around and watch stoglin mode”
i don't care what yall say I LOVE PE'
His crazy outrageous make him unique to me! That’s why he was my favorite out of last year freshman class. It’s not his fault that people can’t catch his passes. Sometimes they are too much but i like them. His team needs to be ready at all time for any of his passes.

At least the foul was on him

If he only hit 1 FG in the 2nd half
There is no way Clemson has a chance
He's a Stogs fan, go fig.
I guess it makes sense that he appreciates a good guard doing work.

I'm wondering if he is just saying this year is NIT, let these kids fight

i would agree with u
but this is the second game in a row that we’ve gotten burned by going with a small lineup. I’m not even mad about the lack of timeouts but more about the personnel decisions
by formerlyknownasjinsookim on Feb 7, 2012 8:47 PM EST up reply actions
Nope.
The guy has a purpose for what he’s doing. We might not all agree with it, but we’re not there in practice…behind the scenes…or pregame. Let’s let the man coach.
The timeout only should have come one possession earlier
Other than that, it was all made threes. Timeouts don’t stop that.
So no, Turgeon didn’t call the comeback.
Was that in the cylinder?

Stoglin was ridiculous efficient tonight,

You mean everything a Point Guard is suppose to do?
He does need a break now and then but he NEEDS to be smarter when he plays.
He also had a solid 5-6 potential assists botched.
I get the frustration, but it wasn’t entirely his fault.

Stoglin played basically the entire game
And Faust played a good deal. Who do you bring in to replace Howard?
*All Terp Everything*
And
No one was ready for that half court trap. I think Pe did pretty bad against it, but as one of our better ball handlers, who do you sub in for him, with Faust and Stogs already out there?
*All Terp Everything*
As much as I defended Pe the 1st Half
He was pretty bad in the 2nd.
Still, he should have finished the game with like 7 assists
*All Terp Everything*
A win is a win boys.
We knew this was going to be a tough year. Let’s be happy with a road win and keep supporting this team.
what happens to us between 15 and 5 minutes left in the game

by LeftCoastTerp on Feb 7, 2012 9:10 PM EST via iPhone app reply actions
lucky
with the missed freethrows,moseley’s mental gaffe ,and pe’s all around poor play we are lucky to win this one.
I was going to be seriously disgusted if we had lost that one.
Fear the Turgle!
Shouldn't it have been MD ball?
Mosely was already out of bounds so the ball was technically thrown out by Clemson…did the refs get that wrong or am I wrong?
but wouldn't that just mean the ball is out of bounds to the terms at that spot?
Mosely never had possession of the ball since he was out of bounds….so is that the same as Clemson just throwing the ball out of bounds, and therefore MD ball?
obviously mosley watched the super bowl a little too closely
he was just trying to do a mario manningham impression at the end of the game
"I'm from Maryland and nobody can beat me!" Nik Caner-Medley
It Felt Like A Loss
We were up like 15. No killer instinct. I just don’t understand how it is so hard to play exactly how you were playing the last couple minutes.
*All Terp Everything*
These nailbiters are actually exciting as a fan.
What, are we gonna win a Natty this year or something? Hell no, enjoy the ride(ups and downs), and prepare for one hell of a future once the horses arrive.
Sidebar…mancrush on Stogs grows by the game.
Given all the drama...
…this was a much-needed win. I feel like the end of game mistakes can be fixed. So even if we almost gave the game away, it’s still a step in the right direction.
If you haven't noticed
This was like every other game except Stogs had a great game. There is no improvement that I’ve seen. In fact Mosley might be getting worse with that last second play.
I definitely think the Maryland defense has shown improvement during the year.
The offense..well…Stogs has definitely improved…
Well 16 pts, 4 assists, 2 steals and only ONE big Turnover
So really a pretty good game for Sean…I’ll take it except for that one bonehead play

This might have been the best thing possible for us, though
Really, isn’t this the best possible outcome since we play @Duke next?
We got the win, but Turgeon will definitely have the attention of the team leading up to Duke since they played so poorly down the stretch, and we won’t be overconfident (is that possible?) heading into Cameron.
I’m probably reaching a little but close wins, for a young and inexperienced team, are usually the best way to do it.
I don't see how
they could be overconfident after this stretch of games. They are improving, but are young and the “one step forward, two steps back, three steps forward . . .” type progression is not so unusual for such a young team. We do have holes that can only be fixed by a talent influx, but all in all I pleased with the effort and progression.
That "3 steps forward"
would be real nice in Durham.
"It’s hard to be good. It’s easy to not be good." -Coach Turgeon
I'll take it
That was way too close though… it feels like we were trying to lose that one more than we held on for the win.
I'm Mad I DVR'd that game
I’m going to erase it immediately, or just watch the first 25minutes
*All Terp Everything*
can't believe
I fooled myself into thinking we’d get an easy win when we went up 14. Smdh.

Anyone else notice the lack of PT for Len?
Was it foul trouble? I wasn’t keeping track
*All Terp Everything*
yea foul trouble
was huge in the last 2 minutes though
My favorite part ...
was the part where we didn’t lose.
Future PG
What kind of a game does Seth Allen have? Is he a PG or SG? Sometimes I wonder if Peshon is the man we want manning the point…. he’s not much of a 3 point threat, and after today, it’s clear he isn’t that stellar of a ball handler or that steady of a free point shooter. How can a PG be so bad in shooting free throws??
Beat Duke, and NCAAs are a legitimate possibility
If we can beat the Blue Devils, and the season ended on Saturday, would we be in the tournament?
Resume would look like this:
15-9, 5-5 in ACC.
Good wins: @ No. 10 Duke, neutral v. Notre Dame
Bad losses: none
Maybe?
Since the season doesn’t end there, a win @Duke could really get things going. After Duke, we have Boston College at home, which is about as close to a guaranteed win as we will get this year. Then, it’s @UVA. Beat Duke, beat BC, and all of a sudden we’re 16-9, 6-5 in the ACC heading into what would be a HUGE game.
Anything is possible at this point.
