NCAA Postmortem: Maryland Bows Out to WVU




Talking Terps show

Summary: Today in the SVP Lounge, CT, Dan and Matt convene to anguish over and break down Maryland’s second round loss to West Virginia in the NCAA tournament. Topics discussed include: Thanks to BSR Network for featuring our podcast End of the season is new terrirory for the show We’ll be back next week to recap the entire basketball season We made it through a full season, let’s bring back the "cancel the pod” bit The guys talk about their game-viewing situations, harassment from West Virginia fans CT and Matt prefer to watch alone, Dan has to go to a bar Dan is routinely the most obnoxious person in the bar With the pod being canceled the guys air their grievances with each other They put off talking about the loss to West Virginia The first half was relatively good, they shot the ball well, beat the press Felt positive going into halftime Dan was forever waiting for Dez Wells to find himself The second half was the complete opposite, there was an impending sense of doom from the beginning Once Melo Trimble was out, it was a “slow drip of death” Dan feels bad for himself Terps had a chance to cut down West Virginia’s lead half way through the second, but couldn’t hit any shots — After that West Virginia were relentless and Maryland was marred at every turn What’s the deal with Layman? Where does he go from here? Matt gives credit to West Virginia, says they wanted it more Who do you want to win, West Virginia or Kentucky? Dan has a bitter taste in his mouth with this loss, the loss to Michigan State and the loss to Rutgers in football The Terps take a pretty big step forward, defy preseason expectations  It’s not easy to make the Sweet 16 Bob Huggins’ daughters tweet about Dez Wells, causes an uproar Where are the Terps ranked in the 2015-16 preseason poll? This is a dumb conversation Matt is happy he never has to watch Varun Ram again #ROLLTERPS
