Summary: Today in the SVP Lounge, CT, Matt, Dan and Eric wrap up the regular season and look ahead to post-season play, which they’ve been waiting on for a week. The guys get into Mark Turgeon getting the media Big Ten Coach of the Year Award, who’s more deserving: Turgeon or Wisconsin’s Bo Ryan, if Maryland is really the #8 team in the country, the ugliness of the Nebraska and Rutgers games, potential Big Ten tournament match-ups and much more #RollTerps Topics discussed include: Matt gets a new car, invents the Miller Index Mark Turgeon wins media-voted Big Ten Coach of the Year, Bo Ryan gets the award from the coaches Who really deserves it? Eric thinks Turgeon deserves it, Dan thinks it’s unfair to to discount Bo Ryan because of his team’s talent and the fulfillment of expectations The Miller Index ranks Turgeon as a better looking coach than Ryan "For an older gentleman, he doesn’t look bad” The podcast gets interrupted by Matt’s roommate, the guys discuss the best podcast interruptions of the season It would have been laughable to think this was the #8 team in the country in the fall Is Maryland really the eighth best team in the country? Where do they actually fall? CT thinks the effort the team put forth this year is what put them over the edge, especially in tight contests. Big difference between this year’s team and last The guys have the “lucky, damn good or somewhere in between” conversation as it pertains to close games The Nebraska game was an ugly foul-fest It’s not lucky that the Terps are money at drawing and making free throws Rutgers game also wasn’t great Dez Wells has a big game, been going bananas lately BBQ Ben pours Dan a huge glass of wine Tons of Maryland fans in Piscataway, N.J. — Rutgers is a disaster The RAC looks like an old Soviet bunker Terps have the #2 seed in the Big Ten tournament The guys would, obviously, prefer to play Northwestern Northwestern is playing well, Indiana swooning Matt says it doesn’t matter who the Terps play, CT is having a hard time being comfortable that Maryland can beat anyone in the conference Dan tells CT not to make ribs for the games, last time the Terps got blown out to Indiana Selection Sunday should be exciting
