Scouting Maryland

[hhcmatt]

We're 2-4 vs Maryland since they joined the conference. Other than the B1G tourney game they won by 11, the other 5 regular season games have been decided by 5 points or less.

This will be the first time that Nebraska will come in with what is considered to be the better squad.

Maybe posted elsewhere, Maryland is 0-10 in their last ten games versus ranked opponents.

Let's not go there. The whole "Rhode Island not beating a ranked opponent in 16 years...and then we lose to them in the first week we've been ranked" situation still haunts be sometimes.

 

I suppose I just have to get used to us being ranked and being the team hunted.

Maryland won't rush the court if they beat us

It will be interesting to see how we play the pick and roll with Fernando and Cowan. We had difficulty against Minnesota with Coffey and Murphy. The little I've watched Maryland this year, they had a tendency to make unforced turnovers. Hoping that will be the case this evening.  It would be huge if Roby is close to 100%, but I have a gut feeling they will struggle guarding JPJ. GBR!

If they did, it'd only be a couple dozen people from the looks of things.  Sheesh.

We just got brutalized by Bruno.  We need to get Brady out of the game.  He is overwhelmed.

[Huskerpapa]

Nice pass!

[Huskerpapa]

Let's score here at the end of the half.

[Huskerpapa]

Nice half.  We really did not play all that well, but I feel good at this point.

Game thread's thataway pardner.

According to Bart T... this is a huge swing game.  We have a 91% chance at making the dance if we win.  a 61% chance if we lose.

I'm in the "let's just try our best to win some games" mode right now.

 

But if we're talking tournament talk, I'm a little nervous about the "we've built a strong nonconference resume that puts us in the tournament with x-number of conference wins."

 

Arizona State and Oklahoma certainly did just that last year. But I keep hearing talk from the selection committee, post-mortem, about how injuries make you a different team and should be reflected that way. Will we be evaluated more heavily on how we play these final 9+ games?

100% that we just need tow in some games right now.  But we still have 9 to play and would probably only need 6 wins to dance.  After blowing the Illinois game, this could make up for that lost opportunity.  The margin for error gets smaller and smaller by the day though.

Well, there's always Chicago in early-to-mid March. One of the team's B1G goals this season was to win the Big Ten Tournament!

The line opens as a pick-'em.

This was the end of the cursed 2014-15 season.

 

There was one shining moment where Terran Petteway came out a-blazin, Walt P went for some 3s, and Shavon was 2 assists away from a double-double.

We're due for at least one of these nights before the season ends. Is it Wednesday?

We're now sitting at Nebraska as a 2pt favorite as I sit here and tell myself I will stop picking this team in the HHCC

Huskers -3 now. Vegas must know something that we don’t...

Last time Ayala attacked Allen off the dribble with some success. Ayala is 6'5 and sturdy. We will have enough to worry about with Bruno and Cowan. Would hate to have a third guy go off. I'm thinking the odds are that we finally start making some shots. A guy has to hope, right?
