We got them right where we want them?

Body language on SDSU bench going into this timeout could have been a lot better, I think.

Halftime: Maryland 34, SDSU 22.

Jacks shoot 26% (!); Marshall is 0-4, Bittle is 1-8 and his only made shot was a lucky tip-in by the other team.

Trimble with 15 points;

Maryland is 9-9 from the FT line. Jacks did not even attempt a FT.

Maryland shot 50%;

If the Jacks could shoot their season average, they'd be down a couple or potentially winning at half...

Bittle and Marshall are not doing anything; Jacks in danger of getting run out of the gym.

Bittle should not shoot the basketball from less than 3 feet from the basket any more.

Re: 12 SDSU vs. 5 Maryland, Spokane

If we shoot even decent we pry lead. If the shooting doesn't turn the corner we are in done.

Yep. This game is there for the taking. Maryland isn't playing great. SDSU just missing shots, and missing good, wide-open shots at that.

Bittle has been a shell of his former self on offense ever since his achilles started acting up. This team was so good when Bittle was healthy.

Yep. Look at his game against the Gophers. He was dominating. Even when he came back @USD he was really playing well.

They are leaving him open to shoot for a reason...

Re: 12 SDSU vs. 5 Maryland, Spokane

Trimble vs Marshall is no contest. He and Bittle have zero confidence in their shot.

Re: 12 SDSU vs. 5 Maryland, Spokane

Jacks shot 45.1% in the regular season. If they do that in the first half then they are only down a couple or potentially up.

Somebody needs to step up besides Parks and hit some shots. I'm talking about Bittle and Marshall.

Re: 12 SDSU vs. 5 Maryland, Spokane

How do we not shoot 1 free throw in the entire first half???

Yep missed opportunity in the first half, if shot even moderately well we are right in this.
Maryland is guarding the 3 pt line, and big inside so can't go all the way to the rim. Mid-range jumpers in the 2nd half.

Shot 17 threes out of 34 total shots and only drove to the hoop a handful of times. Got blocked a couple times.

Not ideal for a 12 seed to upset a 5.
