So we're up 6 at half time. Great start. Threes are falling pretty regularly. The only one not shooting near lights out is Manny and Wright. Hopefully Wright either starts dropping some or taking better shots.

I didn't get to watch the game but saw the box score, where Maryland had 20 FTs vs. our 6. Was it just officiating that largely decided the outcome?

Actually it was just a legit game. If anything there were more non-calls for both teams. We probably could have been called for many more offensive fouls. Harris had an off shooting night and Wright didnt hit anything until 30 seconds were left in the game. Maryland's man defense just outplayed us.

I thought Beilien made a huge tactical error in sticking with Man defense for so long in the second half. Our man-to-man defensive strategy (lots of switches on screens) does not match up well with a team like Maryland who runs a lot of flex sets. It was pretty clear during that run to start the second half that we were not going to stop them playing man defense, yet we stuck with it for 6-8 minutes. It was really the difference in the game.
