Not to mention the flock of bozos who think our coach
doesn't know what he's doing! This team looked well prepared, focused. The shifting defense gave Maryland fits. Our guys are finding ways to beat people, and that's coaching. Tied for first in the Big Ten. I'm pretty pleased right now!

Not making excuses especially knowing how many make fun of the we are young excuse. But young teams seem to struggle on defense. And TC is not known for tough defensive teams to begin with.

And, while I understand your point, I really thought our on the ball defense looked better than it has all season. We were hassling the hell out of them. Maryland is a damn good shooting team. They've got guys that can knock it down.
Re: Not to mention the flock of bozos who think our coach
Very few teams have 6 players who can shoot lights out from behind the arc. That fact forces teams to go small otherwise their big men will be forced to guard the perimeter at which point we just drive around them. I think the defense is much better then most think and that is coaching. Troy is a match up nightmare for every team in the conference even with the mistakes he makes. The one play he made tonight tell a lot about his ability. He drove the lane attempt a short jump shot that missed then got the rebound and put it back in. He jumped up twice before any of the defenders got off their feet once
