The bubble is bursting for the Terps. Started 10-0 and all sorts of buzz around them, but the slow starts and poor shooting has caught up with them as they have lost their last 2 games as they hit the Christmas break. Turgeon has work to do. Teaching them to focus and shoot would be a good start.:rolleyes2: -- Al

The good news for Kentucky (and other blue bloods) is that this isn't football.
They'll still make the tournament with a high seed and from there anything can (and often does) happen.

When Kentucky plays the way they did during the comeback they are the best team in the country.

Hi Jason, I think Maxey is going to be one of the best players in the country by the end of the season. He can play point or the 2. His 27 points yesterday was his "arrival notice." As he goes, so goes the team IMO. Chris
Yes, it was, however, the Terps once again got off to a slow start, falling behing 8-0 before they woke up. Gotta wonder what the problem is as they start slow game after game. -- Al

Bill Walton called the UCLA-USC game this weekend on ESPN. He was totally bizarre. I think he was high during the game and rambling off some nutty stuff. At one point he rubbed peanut butter on the TV camera. I felt sorry the other broadcaster who was doing his best to carry on as though Walton wasn't there. Surprised ESPN didn't pull him off the air.

Heard UNC won 2 of their last 9 games. {sm4} As a side note, UK blew a 12 point lead to a poor SC team. UK not going far this yr. :redface2: Chris
Yep, UNC now 8-8 on the year. Unchartered territory for the Tarheels. Terps are also on a downslide. After opening up 10-0, they have lost 4 of 7. Could be a long season as the Terps have real shooting problems. -- Al

Duke fans must be lying awake in bed at night thinking about this yr's rivalry game. :smile2: Chris
Contrary to usual, the Terps got a fast start and a 16 point halftime lead against Purdue. Good thing, too, as their terrible shooting lead to a poor second half that allowed Purdue to climb back into the game but the Terps hung on to win by 7. Whew. -- Al

It's funny and sad to watch and listen to Roy Williams antics. He's trashing his team during interviews. Reminds me of Rick Petino at his worst. Chris
Terps are driving me nuts with their slow starts. Once again, they put themselves behind the 8-ball by falling behind Northwestern 40-26 at the half. Northwestern was 6-11 coming into the game and the Terps 14-4 but the Terps played like they didn't have a clue. They got their heads straight at halftime and outscored NW 51-26 in the second half to win 77-66 for their first Big 10 road win of 2020. They really need to solve this slow start-itis they have. It is very frustrating to watch. :rolleyes2: -- Al
