Brief Halftime Thoughts
Firstly, computer has been giving me issues, limiting the ability to post. One of the quirks of the undergraduate IBM thinkpad and wireless here at the Joel...
Maryland shot 58%, Wake 42%. And Gist was a man-child at both ends of the court. Officially 18 points, 4 boards, and 1 block, although he had at least 3 or 4 big rejections.
Jeff Teague scoreless in the first half. He needs double figures in these next 20 minutes or the Deacs season is over.... speaking figuratively of course.
Deacs switching has left undesirable matchups at times. Teague on Gist, Weaver on Vazquez. It'll be interesting to see if Wake changes things up defensively a bit in the second half.
Look for desperation from both teams in the second half. We might look back on this game as the win that pushed a tourney resume over the top, or the loss that sent them to the Not Invited Tournament.
