Maryland fans need to give a huge amount of appreciation to Danny Manning. He walked into a situation, acting as an assistant to a friend and former teammate, had that guy quit on him and the team mid-season, and did a damn fine job keeping this team together. Thanks, Danny!

It almost feels like Mark Turgeon and his agent have hired a PR firm to try to rehash his image and blame Maryland fans for him quitting on his team and doing a mediocre job for the 10+ seasons he was at Maryland.

Maryland basketball has always been probably my favorite sport, the one I cared most about. I've had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. But now, after a decade+ of Mark Turgeon, the losses don't matter. I'm just apathetic towards Maryland. Not great @Evans_TerpsAD

Maryland was very unfortunate in that one of the biggest Orioles games in a decade was also happening last night. 46k there. Outsiders who know nothing about the area don't realize that Maryland has to compete with Orioles, Ravens, Commanders, Nats, Wizards, Caps.

The most Maryland football thing ever is the Terps beating Rutgers to become bowl eligible and knocking the Scarlet Knights out of a bowl only to have Rutgers end up in the *Gator Bowl* to replace a team who has to pull out due to Covid. Unbelievable.

Here's a solution - the Nationals can honor the deal they agreed to as a condition of their move inside what had become Baltimore's market share. The agreement is supposed to benefit Baltimore disproportionately to mitigate & compensate for the Nats coming to DC. This isn't hard.

MLB 'getting involved' really just sounds like them asking the Orioles nicely. I'm no lawyer but I don't see a magic bullet here. You can hear the different voices in this story. In no uncertain terms, the MASN shabingus continues to be THE drag.

The Northwestern clock operator should be fired. They had a few clock issues but none bigger than this. MD inbounds to bring ball up without touching to save time. Clock incorrectly starts. So they have to reset the clock and re-inbound. Allows NW to put defender on the inbound.

I don't know if Manning is the next head coach for Maryland or not, but you can't tell me this team isn't different under Manning. And that Manning doesn't make on the fly adjustments better than Turge. Switching to zone, between 2-3 and 3-2 and that full court press was great.
