Upsets! / Surprise results.

[skianth16]

Maryland has been settling for bad shots most of this game.  Cannot hit the open ones either, at least in first half.

They didn't do the little things right tonight. Too many turnovers and other mental mistakes. Never gave themselves a chance to dig out of the hole they dug early on.

Maryland demonstrating the near universal truth that the first true road game can be a mess.   I am sure Maryland scoop is complaining that Turgeon can't coach.

You should read what some Louisville fans think of Mack and he had them #1 in 2 years.

Some odds had Maryland, some Penn State.

With Illinois' win over Michigan, the B14 is now 10-0 in conference, in favor of the home team (notable upsets include Ill over Mich, PSU, over Mary).  This tells me 2 things. 1, holding serve at home in conference will be vitally important. 2, if we initially struggle on the road, we shouldn't panic. 

On paper, our 3 easiest road games of the year are our last 3 (debatable with @Gtown in mid Jan).  With a 10-2 non conference, an 11-7 conference should put us in the 6-8 seed range (IMO).  That leaves room for 1 home conference loss (anything other than Nova or Hall would be a disappointment), and 3 road wins, StJ and PC look very doable right now, and steal one of (in order of likelihood IMO) DePaul, Gtown, CU, BU, X, SH, Nova.  How we look and perform on New Years Day will be an excellent barometer for the conference season IMO.

Cockburn had another huge game for the Illini, he's something.

Also TKO'd a referee in the process.

I'll be honest, I was looking for any opportunity to drop his name in a thread and the opportunity arose.

Austin Grandstaff has popped up again at TAMU-Commerce. His deep game has improved judging by recent performances.

Well done.  No doubt Cockburn has been on fire of late.

yeah, but when you're 6-10 290 no one is going to give you any crap about your last name.

Now, my rather scrawny high school classmate with the last name Glasscock, that was a different story.

Grandstaff & Hunt were a great combo. They were really pounding out the hits back in the day.
