Maryland Crushes George Mason, 99-43

They game turned out exactly as I figured it would. Mason hung around for a while, but then Maryland took control and put them away. For the second straight year, GMU went over 10 minutes without a field goal. 6 players in double figures, one of which wasn't Marissa Coleman, and everyone scored at least 2 points. We just have too many weapons and once we perfect playing defense we could be raising another banner this time next year.

Postives

  • Balanced scoring - 6 different scorers and shooting over 60 percent.
  • Marrone - After a poor effort on Friday (maybe it was jitters) she seemed more in control yesterday and looks to be like a great shooter from behind the arc.
  • Coleman - Yesterday she must have decided she was going to pad her assist totals because she wasn't looking to score at all. I think she gets a triple-double before the year is out.
  • Ball distribution - 28 assists on 38 buckets is simply remarkable and shows how much team ball they play.

    Negatives
  • Turnovers - Brena was happy with the 16, but a bunch of them were just dumb passes that we shouldn't be making with so many returnees.
  • Free Throw Shooting - We only missed six, but I would prefer fewer misses, especially if we only get 22 attempts.
  • Halftime Rap Concert - What the hell was that?

    Yeah, seriously, what was that rap thing? Why did they choose to inflict it on us?

    Marrone seems a little slow on defense to me... am I just being hard on her because she's new? I love her quick shot though.
