Maryland takes down #6 Wisconsin

Just another day in the Big Ten.

The Big Ten is going to be a Hunger Games-like elimination bloodbath.
Nobody will win it, they will survive it.
December 28th, 2020 at 9:04 PM ^
This Maryland win at ranked Wisconsin should get our team's attention (on the off-chance that our team thought the next game would somehow be easier or less of a challenge).
The Big Ten is a BRUTALLY tough but I like our chances of managing this gauntlet if the team takes it one game at a time.
December 28th, 2020 at 9:08 PM ^
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. I would rather get Maryland coming off a big win, as you say, we should not get over confident. Plus, Wisconsin gets a L.
December 28th, 2020 at 9:05 PM ^
Sparty not looking so well either.
December 28th, 2020 at 9:09 PM ^
Brad Davison got called for blocking at a key juncture of the game. Karma bites. He may have also received a hook call when he was driving to the basket, but I...ahem...needed a bathroom break and didn't see what the final ruling was after replay. Bottom line: Davison did not get home cooking.
December 28th, 2020 at 9:17 PM ^
Review, but no hook call.
December 28th, 2020 at 9:20 PM ^
That nut puncher is still around?
December 28th, 2020 at 9:22 PM ^
And he’ll be able to come back next year!
December 29th, 2020 at 1:23 AM ^
Davison should start carving his FAH Q board now.

It’s increasingly becoming clear that (possibly outside of Nebraska), any team can beat any team any given night. Michigan’s lucked out a bunch on their schedule, but they’ll still have to play many very good teams.

NO DAYS OFF, FERRIS BUELLER!!!
December 28th, 2020 at 9:16 PM ^
I was wrong. There are only 2 tiers in this conference:
TIER 1: Everyone except...
TIER 2: Nebraska and (checks out Minny-MSU game) the Spartans
December 28th, 2020 at 9:22 PM ^
At the Kohl center, holy crap!
December 28th, 2020 at 9:43 PM ^
Didn't expect this to be the game Maryland shows up, but it's a crazy conference. Let's see if UM can hold up better.
December 28th, 2020 at 9:45 PM ^
Love it when Wisconsin basketball loses. But did not expect Maryland to beat them.
December 28th, 2020 at 9:54 PM ^
They're a B1G team that deserves respect, but they're still a Turgeon team that lost most of their talent from last year. This should be a game where we can reliably feed Dickinson due to Marial being their only 7 footer who is built like a stick and they also have no true PG. We match up pretty well with Maryland as we have some solid wing defenders and if we can protect the 3 point line then we should be fine. I anticipate a lot of minutes from a Smith, Brown, Franz, Livers, Dickinson line up

I've looked through their box scores of their games and only the Clemson power forward actually had a good game inside against them despite their lack of size. Its been the guards and wings who have torched them. I will be interested to see how HD does against them. They do have big guards who will make it more difficult for ours to feed the post. With that last sentence, I agree that will we see more of Brown this game and possibly even more Williams since he seems to pass it well into HD. They primarily played 7 tonight so they may be tired next game since they only have a few days rest.
December 28th, 2020 at 10:28 PM ^
Their entire rotation is basically just 6'6" wings so I'm hoping Wagner, Livers, and Brown can lockdown their main scoring threats, Smith can get some penetration and kick, and HD can assert himself like has against every team without a legit big this season. Their positional size advantage at the guard spots over Smith and Brooks is my only worry
December 28th, 2020 at 10:49 PM ^
That is my concern as well. They don't really go inside to the post much. Of course this is gonna be a concern for most of the teams we play because the Bigten has a lot of big guards.
December 28th, 2020 at 10:51 PM ^
This is a good year for us not to have fans at Maryland. They make them a different team.
December 28th, 2020 at 11:17 PM ^
This is one of the reasons Nebraska is not very good as well. Some of these venues the fans make all the difference. The officiating, while not super, doesn't seem to be one sided either. I think the environment tends to influence officials in games.

Gonna be a wild big ten season. Every win is a huge win at this point
