Re: Maryland 2024
I know Tillman has a track record of being a winning coach but it seems like none of his offensive players developed over the past couple years. Kelly, Murphy, Brennan I would say regressed, Koras, Erksa, Spanos, Malevar are about the same. Maltz is the only offensive player that has gotten better ...

Re: Maryland 2024
Loyola is currently 23rd in RPI. Richmond is 30th. And those two teams are literally on numerous top teams schedules. Brown was actually intended as a schedule upgrade from last year, they replaced Albany. Do you think they expected them to be 1-7? Brown was in the tournament in 2022. If anyone was...

Re: Maryland 2024
The schedule is fine. The team is literally only in a position to make the tournament right now because of their schedule. They're gonna be 10th in RPI after this weekend. That's because of the schedule. You add one to two "easier" games and you run the risk of doing what UNC did, which w...

Re: Maryland 2024
Erksa is very much a one-track player right now. It's probably why he was a 4-star and not Top 15-20, 30 player in his class. Those guys have more tools. He was not a top 30 player in his class because the ranking system was a dude who goes to a few tournaments and watches some youtube hype vids. T...

Re: Maryland 2024
They're 11th in RPI right now. Have a Top 10 win over Cuse and an additional Top 20 win over Princeton. For better or worse, an RPI that hovers around the Top 10 is going to keep you in the ball game a long way. They absolutely, positively cannot lose to Rutgers. And really not Ohio State either. Do...

Re: Maryland 2024
Unfortunately I think we are actually seeing the true talent of the players without having the likes of a Jared or Logan...the concern is that it does not appear that Erksa or Spanos have taken a step forward but have leveled off, last year they were the unknown but now other teams focus on them an...

Re: Maryland 2024
Michigan won the two games last year in blowouts. You’d think this would light a fire under Maryland to come out and get revenge. Instead Michigan seemed more fired up by some slight over a handshake last year and got the early start - and while they didn’t take advantage of it; they looked like the...

Re: Maryland 2024
Offense scored 11 goals on 35 possessions today. For once, the response today isn’t blame the offense. Obviously 3Q was very bad. But they did their job They had 8 fewer possessions than Michigan because they lost the faceoffs 60-40 and then compounded it by blowing 6 clears (4 more than Michigan.) ...

Re: Maryland 2024
Blowing half a dozen clears, losing almost every quarter faceoff, and being unable to close out a game like that is what Unserious teams do. It was nice to see Stobaugh see the field, pick up a great GB, feed Erksa for a goal….and then never see the field again. Meanwhile Owen Murphy who is shooting...

Re: Maryland 2024
Don't get the clear. Where are the middies?? Tillman has had less talented teams, but this is the least competent as far as clears and turnovers in general Has he had less talented teams? The last team you could say was less talented than this one was 2015, and that team still had Matt Rambo at att...

Re: Maryland 2024
When I think of Maryland’s offense, I think of it as being similar in ways to what Penn State did in 2019. Heavy, heavy emphasis on having as many players as possible who can all pass, cut off ball, shoot, finish inside as possible. Constant motion, unselfishness. Ament was a good dodger, but he was...

Re: Maryland 2024
Well, Princeton’s barf tasting performance at the end of the Cornell game didn’t help Terps. Gonna be 12th in RPI based off LaxRef simulator. Have 1 Top 10 win over Cuse and additional Top 20 win over Princeton. 4 B1G opponents are in the Top 20 of RPI (Penn State, Hop, Michigan, Rutgers.) Provided ...

Re: Maryland 2024
Wheels point is apt. The offense is good, not great. Against a great schedule, it looks hard to score cause it’s always hard to score against great teams. And of course, the expectation for the program is to win the title and Top 20 isn’t enough to win the title. Certainly enough to make the tournam...
