Switched over to Purdue-Indiana game at 2nd period break in Caps game. Indiana was down by 12 at half. They’ve gone on a 28-3 run to start the 2nd half, to go up by 13. Be huge for Maryland if Purdue loses.
Thanks for this. I was watching some cooking show in the background. Indiana up 11, looks good.Switched over to Purdue-Indiana game at 2nd period break in Caps game. Indiana was down by 12 at half.

I've been pretty vocal about the crowds all season on a Maryland board. It's gotten better but it's not nearly where it should be given this is the exact type of team thay have been screaming for for a decade. This team is averaging over 80 points a game and are super exciting to watch, there is no reason we should be seeing empty seats.Wednesday game is huge. I’m hoping for a Gary Williams era atmosphere in there. They have had some good crowds this year, but it’s not the same. I’ll watch highlights from the Vasquez era and the crowd was still insane at that time. Turgeon really killed the enthusiasm in that building. The students and fans really need to appreciate what they are seeing from the team this year.
Feel ya KV. More like 8 1/2 for me. I’d LOVE to be there Wednesday night!Yeah, it’s times like this I wish I was local. There is no guarantee I could go to all these games, but being 5 1/2 hours away, there is no shot except if I’m in town visiting family. But I am enjoying watching these guys.
I do sound like a hypocrite as College Park is like 45 minutes away so I should be going right? But I went to the games a lot when I was young, now not really that interested.Yeah, it’s times like this I wish I was local.

45 minutes isn’t a small commute, plus life happens. But in college, it’s the students who are the majority of the atmosphere. I was a lot more enthusiastic going to games when I was younger. At the ACC tournament in 2004, all the rich people from UNC were mad at me for being so loud. I was jumping up and down the aisle on big plays. Now, I go to games and clap and cheer, but I always come home with my voice and am not jumping around like when I was in my 20s. This is part of maturing and realizing there is more to life than sports. But I still enjoy games and enjoy most of the atmosphere.I do sound like a hypocrite as College Park is like 45 minutes away so I should be going right?

Let me guess, you lost your passion when you were in your 40's. That when everyone I know pulled back their obsession.45 minutes isn’t a small commute, plus life happens.

I get what you’re saying about the conference tournament, but getting a double bye gives them less games, and getting at least one win will help with their NCAA tournament seeding.I have pointed out all season that they don't have that one guy they can depend on when they need a bucket to win the game. It's a good thing as their are options but we sure could have used that guy last night. Gilespie was off and a bit out of control all night. When he threw up that 3 six feet behind the line when he had the time to take another dribble, or as posted a few more for a floater or a kick out to Miguell for a much better look, I was upset.
But I went into this thinking this is a great opportunity with little to lose. I personally don't give a rat's ass about the Big Ten tourney and getting the bye. Unless you win it all it's best to bow out and not play a ton of games right before the tournament that really matter.
