Woodson isn't exactly a guy who works the refs. It's the anti-Franimal.

I guess if you just scream and flail your body they will call a foul on IU.

Oh, FFS that's not a foul.

That's twice where Maryland pushed through screens and IU couldn't hit open threes where it would have resulted with three points and the ball.

Refs bailing out Maryland. Jesus.

You know what that means for the second half...

Just hope he tries to hit threes. 2 of 22 this year now.

Can't buy a foul call

He's a steady player but sometimes you need him to be more than that.

College 6'9", NBA combine 6'7 1/2"/6'8".

Ball sticking with Reneau right now. He has four inside touches with one make, two misses, and a turnover. No kick outs. I don't like Leal being in with two bigs. If you want kick outs.....Leal won't shoot.

In this specific case, the option would have been either Mgbako or Goode guarding Derek Queen or Julian Reese if IU didn't go with two bigs. While Woodson might be dumb, I'm not sure I would look forward to MM or Goode on either one of them.

Fired up the PC Stellar game, fed in the Indiana and Maryland stats and simmed ten games of Maryland at Indiana. Went the current starting line up of Rice, Leal, Goode, Mgbako, and Ballo. Indiana won 6 of the 10 sims, but Maryland's margins were bigger and the average score was Maryland 75.7, Indiana 74.1. Team stats: Indiana 277 of 622 from the field (45%), 59 of 175 from three (34%), 128 of 171 from the line (75%), 151 fouls, 155 turnovers. Maryland 292 of 668 from the field (44%), 59 of 177 from three (33%), 114 of 152 from the line (75%), 174 fouls, 126 turnovers.

U Conn goes down

wouldn’t a blowout win over Maryland be a perfect going away present?

A&M and Boston College both with melt downs. New Mexico and UNLV tight with 5 to go.

OT. BC meltdown.

I have no idea what BC is doing. Walk the ball up the court, call time out with 4.4 but UNC can still foul twice

Horrid defense by BC. Tie game., 12.9 seconds left. BC ball, UNC two fouls to give

BC couldn’t get it in and didn’t use their timeout. UNC ball down 2 with 18.6 seconds

I expect UNC will head hunt here. Down 2, BC ball and UNC has two fouls to give

BC up 4. UNC at the line for 2, 19 seconds left

BC up 2 with 42 seconds left and possession. 18 on the shot clock. UNC has only four fouls so assume they’ll play aggressively.

Tight one in chapel hill with ACC doormat Boston College up 2 on UNC with about 2 minutes left. UNC with only three fouls this half

Or both.
