Maryland has done a pretty good job breaking the pressure and they are knocking down the open looks that WVU is giving them from beyond the arc. The Jake Layman alley oop to Ceko is exactly how you want to break that pressure.
The two biggest things sticking out right now are the issues on the boards, the Terps are being out-rebounded 18-15 and have given up NINE [/B]offensive rebounds! That's not going to cut it. The other big issue in that half was Dez' 6 turnovers. He needs to just slow down a bit and keep his composure.
But one other issue that hasn't really been discussed too much late in the year that could be a problem late in this one is the fact that Maryland really doesn't have any secondary ball handler. And with this game being such a track meet, Melo could be tired late in this one. Hopefully they can steal some minutes at some point this half, maybe with Pack, to allow Trimble to get a quick breather so he's fresh down the stretch, maybe last 6 minutes or so.
