Are the Terps lucky to be 11-0 in games decided by 6 points or less? Probably.
But you are going to win most close games when you go 25-33 from the foul line to your opponent's 18-22.
I said it back in early December, but this team is built to win close games in March. It's been their MO all season long. I'm a stats guy and get the whole probability argument, but the stats tell me their record in close games is anything but luck.
Throw in the fact that Turgeon has done a great job installing late-game mismatches with Dez and Jake on the wing and on the blocks to make sure they get easy looks for two and/or foul shots and you can't help but feel like this team is going to win just about any close game the rest of the way.
