NCAA Tournament 2017 - Maryland Game Thread 3-16

[mumuskie87]

10 minutes to game time.

Hope Tre can have a big game.
He has played 5 tournament games and has scored a total of 26 points.

[mumuskie87]

Neither team can make a shot -
X is 1 for 7 and Md is 1-6

[Anti-Homer]

Though you can'tblame Tre for the last shot, he is throwing up boulders now. Good news is X is up despite that, and Tre won't keep missing.

[mumuskie87]

X got a break on Tre's missed 3...should have been a shot clock violation.

SOM continuing his strong play from the BET.
Nice coast to coast drive by Q
Up 15-8 at the under 12 TV timeout

[mumuskie87]

If there was a stat for Sloppy Passes, X would lead the nation.

Gates! We cannot turn over the ball. Bernard is too careless and killing us.

[mumuskie87]

Unexpected bonus with Gates making two 3's.
Tre still scoreless and JP only has 2 points.
And X is up 6.

[mumuskie87]

Md is figuring out the 2-3 zone with flashes to the foul line.
Need to mix it up from a D standpoint.

[skyhops]

They are a perimeter team and we keep playing a zone? Are we thought poor of a defensive team that we can't play man? Mack needs to make adjustments because they have.

[mumuskie87]

2 good possessions - great hustle by JP and Tre finally makes a shot.
Still to switch up the D.
MD is getting good shots now against the 2-3
