Queefer, this team is terribly undermanned this season. They only have 8 scholarship players. They play hard every game. They will be fine.

As I was watching Maryland fall apart in the second half, all I kept thinking was “Gary would have never let these kids lose this game.”

Turgeon will open recruiting doors that Gary didn’t even knock on, but this team lacks the toughness and discipline Williams brought.

I was actually there, and rooting for Len to foul the shit out of him, but whatever. Such as life. To be fair, Henson was getting abused by us all game, so this shouldn’t have been surprising.

You watch your badmouthing of the Sturgeon!

I actually love Turgeon, and am pumped for the future, but this was pretty bitchy. Meh.

I’m so sad that Mark Turgoen’s whiny ass isn’t in the Big 12 anymore.

That said if it happened to a Roy Williams team; he woulda pulled his squad off the court with 1.2 seconds left in the game for “safety concerns”.

don’t forget the post game press conference that he would surely give from him golden throne.

Turgeon is still feeling his way through the ACC. In time he’ll learn when to fight these fights. That said if it happened to a Roy Williams team; he woulda pulled his squad off the court with 1.2 seconds left in the game for “safety concerns”.

maybe he should teach his kids to play until the final whistle and Henson wouldn’t have been so open to begin with.

Agreed.

The dunk represented two meaningless points at the very tail end of a game that was competitively over.

If his panties are that much in a wad over this, maybe he should teach his kids to play until the final whistle and Henson wouldn’t have been so open to begin with.

To be fair to TBL, there is a high standard for what constitutes “impressive” at Chapel Hill.

Only Big East teams impress TBL.

I don’t watch a lot of college basketball…but I caught the 11-0 Mizzou run against Kansas this weekend.

Do they always call charges like that in college (against Kansas)? Twice in the last 90 seconds a guy would slide under a Jayhawk making a move, and get the call.

If he wants to be offended by such behavior, he can watch game tape Vasquez during his time at Maryland. Great player, but pulled stuff like this all the time. Don’t know if it bothered the Maryland fans as much as Henson did.

I will never understand coaches getting their panties in a bunch about this stuff. Got a problem with it? Your team needs to stop them.

Coach, drink some water and calm your nerves. Man, way too sensitive.

and 14 of 15, though none of the victories have been impressive

Do you actually watch their games or even look at the box scores?
