Maryland it is..discuss

Yep, their backs are against the wall now and playing with house money, they’re the underdog after all too

 

Admittedly this is likely the case. I hate being honest pregame, but I can respect the practice.

Word is, DQ interrrupted the huddle before the game-winning play and said, "Just get me the ____ ball."

 

Perhaps their coach said his new school will pay them a bunch to transfer next year. But he only told 2 of them

 

Rat poison!

 

If you truly think this type of news will cause our guys to be distracted, then you clearly haven't been paying attention. Our guys are locked in. Also they seem loose and that is good. Go Gators!

 

Totally agree! The questions were very dumb and out of the blue; it would be hard to answer them in any meaningful way. It’s almost like non-sports people were along these asinine questions. It was funny to see the guys reactions to the stupid questions; they wanted no part of this interview and who could blame them. To their credit, they were polite and considerate. I think on one question to Martin, he answered, “I agree with him.”
They couldn’t get out of their fast enough!!

 

I don’t think Villanova, the entire future hiring pool, nor his agent…would be impressed.

 

Calipari on their short list..shurrrrrrr.

 

Do we honestly think Maryland needs any reason to play harder than facing a 1-seed with a chance to go to the Elite 8?

 

ChatGPT…

**“Maryland in the Sweet 16? That’s about as shocking as a Baltimore resident finding their car still there in the morning. Y’all crawled into San Francisco thinking you were about to make a statement, but the only statement you’ve ever made is ‘We peaked in 2002.’ Your offense moves slower than the DMV line in Annapolis, and your defense is about as effective as crab shells at stopping bullets.


Florida’s about to embarrass y’all so bad, even Ravens fans will pretend they’ve never heard of you. By the time this game is over, the only thing left of Maryland basketball will be a depressing ESPN graphic and a Wikipedia edit reading ‘Notable tournament exits: 2024—Exterminated by the Florida Gators.’


So go ahead, enjoy your last few hours in San Francisco. Take a selfie on the Golden Gate Bridge, order some overpriced seafood, and start rehearsing ‘We didn’t even care about basketball this year.’ Because after tonight, the only tournament Maryland fans will be watching is the annual ‘Best Place to Get Mugged in Baltimore’ bracket. And spoiler alert—just like tonight, y’all ain’t winning that either.”**

 

This game is going to be tough to win.

 

Dialed in.

 

That's awesome...thanks for sharing!

 

What sweet 16 game isn't tough? We have the depth to out play them in the end. They will run more than they have all season against us. They will be tired and they will beg for mercy just like almost every SEC team has. Go Gators!

 

Please please please take care of the ball!

 

This team is awesome. Nothing that happens tonight can change that. Love these guys

 

And make FT's.
