I know he’s asked to do a lot on offense but I’d love to see him turn into a pit bull on d again. We need it.
all of it was
You don’t think we’ve run the pick n roll this game? It’s quite frankly absurd to say X doesn’t know his role. He’s the best ball screen guard in the country this year.
He’s lost that on the defensive end for sure. This whole team has lost that mentality. Guys just look like they don’t wanna play.
and he won the first Purdue game for us almost be himself, and nearly the Wisconsin game. But it doesn’t make for a tourney level plan.
Zero high pick-n-rolls with a pass. Zero. And that is on the coaches, not X.
Wait, what?

It’s actually on Maryland’s defense.

Big picture next week, Rutgers is a good matchup. Maybe trice won’t shoot like steph curry, and they won’t shoot 50% from 3. If they Do, you tip your cap and move on. All in all, I could think of worse draws next week.

I don’t read game threads so I don’t know if this has been covered, probably has, but I can’t imagine how bad this game would be if Maryland could have guarded Nunez!
Actually I wish they would have guarded Nunez, maybe even doubled him. I’m guessing we would have scored a LOT more if the Terps had sent a couple of guys over to our bench to stand in front of Adrien, not letting him touch the ball, keeping him from shooting it! Oh, my!

I’ve reigned in my emotion about this team until the Tourney…this game is ugly, but it is what it is. Now come madness time, this team needs to be focused and prepared, thats white knuckle time…so we’ll see what they really are soon enough.

Okay. One can always say thhat.
We run A LOT of PnR with X. And the thing he does best is pass out of it. Are you sure you’re not confusing this with something else?
I like that thought but that was a BRUTAL first half
Dude has completely lost his mind.
Let’s just say that Maryland is playing like a team that WANTS a share of the title! We have not played well…AT ALL, but Maryland is playing pretty good, kinda like they are on a mission.

I’m hoping Juwan starts Nunez to really throw Turgeon off. Chess not checkers.

I get being high on this team because all of the talent we have, but what have you seen the last 3 games to keep you confident? Maryland has talent and it seems like everybody fell off the bandwagon.
I don’t think we’ve had a win that you can count as a comeback this season have we?
It seems like every week there’s multiple big-time comebacks, we only ever come close, and then fall apart down the stretch.

Better questions are how is Michigan going to break this Maryland defense this half? They are playing tight coverage
