A crazy, Crazy, CRAZY B1G basketball (and all of CBB) Season!

No, this is NOT going to be an attempt to give Turge a pass for the Iowa game (I'm firmly in the Scarlet T camp -- decent guy and recruiter, but has yet to show he can get the Terps to anything beyond "decent" results, and probably needs to be replaced if he can't do it soon).

But I've just watched Pudue, losers of two straight and who only scored 37 points in a loss to the Illini only a week ago, simply CRUSH a Top 10 Mich State by 29 points, holding the Spartys to 42 points! (imagine how many effigys of Turge would be burning right now if the Terps had a score that low) As I type this, Miiny beats a Top 20 Michigan team at home. B1G road wins seem to be nearly impossible this season. And who knows at this point who will earn the double bye for teh B1G Tourney at this point.

And is it just me, or has offesne in ALL of CBB simply become "offensive"? Soooo many final scores from traditonal CBB powrhouse conferences where a team is scoring under 55 points, and a ton where the final score is in the 40s. UNC loses to a crapy Clemson team (the first time at Home EVER!) and UVA loses to a crappy Syracuse at home as well, and both seem like absolute trash at this point (allow me a few monents to have my monent of Schadenfruden while I take a deep breath a laugh out loud for 20 seconds -- Ahh-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!)

Top 25 teams aren't just losing this season, they're losing EMBARRASSINGLY to some really crappy teams.

So, some observations / questions:

1) Perhaps the Terps will have a chance to make some noise this year. Don't get me wrong, ikeep f they playing like they did against the Poke-eyes, that is a VERY remote possibility. But this whole "look like World Beaters one night, look like crap the next game" seems to have become the norm in CBB, and if the Terps can indeed improve (and let's not start THAT debate), they have a chance.

2) Anybody else notice just how BAD most offenses in CBB have been this season? Is this a trend? And if so, why?

Just some thoughs on a Sunday where I'm still really ticked about how bad the Terps played Friday, but bemused after watching a bunch of other supposedly "Top" teams go through their own moments of utter embarrassment this weekend as well.
