We win 72-66. The fourth quarter was ugly and Schafer must be licking his chops on how we ended the game. Though the refs didn't help, we became a shell of the team we were for most of the game.
Our defense gave up 30(!) points after surrendering 36 in the first 30 minutes while we scored only thirteen. Fortunately, we built a big enough lead that gave us the cushion (barely) to win.
Texas's defense will be like that for the entire game and we had 18 turnovers today when Maryland's defense is not as high-pressure as the Longhorns.
The fourth quarter really took the joy out of the win, but a victory is a victory.
Tara should not let them celebrate and warn them that they almost lost due to the horrific 4th quarter and if they played like that against Texas, we won't make it back to the Final Four.
