Looks like we're waiting for the shot clock, and there it is.

Bucks win, 11-10! We're heading to the final on Monday!

The Tigers are now 19-1 their last 20 games when they've had a lead at halftime.

have to give Towson credit… they gave us everything we could handle… hell of a stop by their goalie to give them a chance

They had won the last 29 times they were leading after three quarters (up 9-8 today).

Much easier to play down one in the fourth with momentum than the way they played the start of the third.

That have what it takes to finish.

Keys to the fourth:
Withers HAS to win the dot
Tommy keep doing what he's done all game. Player of the game for my money.
Cannot get bound up in doubles. Pull out quick look for open man.
May come down to working inside out from a dodge to a step down from Pearson and Tre.

Check
Check
Kinda check. Pearson with a nice 15 footer using his defender as a screen.

I guessed 12-8 as a final. A little closer than I thought it would be. Not surprised by the scoring from Towson.

The team has some serious heart. They play for each other. That can be a difference maker on Monday.

I'm guessing we'll be looking at an all B1G championship game. I don't see Denver getting past UMD. The only clear advantage I see for UD is Baptiste at FoGo. I think UMD plays stout D and wins in the second game today.

Okay, time for Denver and Maryland to beat the hell out of each other.

 

[Dee-Liem]

Great win.

Proud of this team and this university.

Go Buckeyes.

 

[sparcboxbuck]

How in the fuck to you go offsides on championship weekend on a slow break.

Get yer heads out of your asses UMD. Jesus.

Denver ties it at 8 with exactly 10 minutes left to play. :popcorn:

Maryland hangs on, 9-8. Rubber match for the title on Monday, where the Terps have lost the last two seasons.

Maryland hangs on, 9-8. Rubber match for the title on Monday, where the Terps have lost the last two seasons.

And have lost there every time since '75.

This should be a good game. The B1G championship was a little chippy. Would really like to know what Nick and Tillman were saying to each other after that game.

 

[Jake]

And have lost there every time since '75.

20 final four trips with no titles. That's almost impossible. They're either cursed or due. We'll see Monday.
