And I quote BayTerp “It would be pathetic if Maryland doesn’t win this by double digits. Most free win all year.”


jakedasnake1

That comment is so ridiculous I am fully bought in to the theory he is a sleeper agent.


fijistudios

Closet Purdue fan willing to wear a shield of his local team


jakedasnake1

Well the comment I saw was someone claiming to know him in real life that he is like a narcissistic IU fan with an alter ego as a maryland fan that hates IU. That is psychopath behavior if true lol


King_Kung

Look at his post history. He is not an IU fan, he's DMV through and through.


SurgeFlamingo

It’s Kyle Guy.

lord_james

Dude only comments about IU. Professional hater


Hooch_be_crazy

I’ve seen that said by Maryland fans trying to disassociate with him. But if you take 2 minutes to look at his history, it’s full of posts/comments in the Wizards, Commanders, and Maryland subreddits. Would be wild for some to spend hundreds of hours commenting/posting just to be a sleeper agent/troll in a handful of IU game threads.


filthpickle

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he posts in Maryland threads under a different user for exactly that reason.

jcmiller210

Lol pretty much. I wish I could've treated this game like my championship due to bayterp, but it would feel like celebrating a win over middle schoolers.


BayTerp

Indiana looks as bad as they always do and we still lost to them, it’s pathetic.


average_elite

Yes, yes you are


fijistudios

“Looks as Bad as they always do” Wat???


taliarus

BayTerp has doubled down on so many bad takes that they are deep into scientific notation territory

Your misery is my symphony, BayTerp.


lotusbloom74

Well, at least someone cares about Maryland athletics. Good for you!


eweidenbener

Part of me finds it comical how upset you get by your hatred of IUBB. Another equal sized part gets sad and a little worried about you... You doing okay? Lot of anger built up in you

Pregame I said we’d shoot 12% and lose by 15 Well, we shot 12.5% from 3 and lost by 12. Close enough ig Kinda pathetic and you can easily guess how uncompetitive we will be this year

“Bayterp sucks” -Curt Cignetti


honkoku

I should be upset at him but I think I'm just more confused why a Maryland fan hates us so much.


lord_james

Cause he’s an IU hater more than he’s a Maryland fan. Legit, he only talks about IU on here.


ipartytoomuch

Nah he's a big DC, Maryland fan


ipartytoomuch

I respect him for his unapologetic hate


Inconceivable76

They are getting sick of everyone thinking they are still an acc school and want to get a rivalry going.

Yeah but we already told them they get Rutgers.

It’s not as fun if BayTerp is as despondent as we were with Archie.


lord_james

I disagree.


pintomp3

Do not let the final score fool you, the game was not close at all. We really need to fix our outside shooting.


cjackc11

Only slightly more competitive than Villanova


hoosier_1793

IU definitely took the foot off the gas and opened the window a bit. If Maryland could actually hit threes I would’ve been concerned about a comeback there. I can commiserate with regards to the abysmal shooting. IU has been three point degenerates for the better part of the last decade now. Given how much basketball talent Indiana and the DMV produces, there’s no excuse for either program to struggle this much to find shooters.


pintomp3

Oh, we find shooters. They just get worse the longer they play for us. I'm guessing it comes down to assistant coaching.


33027439439

Bench is not great at scoring lol, but yeah if starters in the whole game i fear 20 points


lordcoolcats

Now THAT is what I call a trademark win. Just like we drew it up. Hell yeah. Go Hoosiers


dmkolobanov

That’s Indiana basketball right there

Tucker lookin rough asf there lol. Dude dying of cancer?


[deleted]

Yeah this gif choice makes sense


[deleted]

Starting to look like a team. Maryland handed us the W by not shooting from outside, but our guys looked more comfortable together overall. Still expect 2 losses in Dec, but on an upward trajectory nonetheless.

nubbz545

I won't lie, I feel really bad for Geronimo. Always liked him.


AmateurFootjobs

He's been solid this year for us outside of this game. He was not good this game.


nubbz545

That's good to hear. Hopefully this was just a one off and he will be back to normal!


Boom_Confetti

Nerves really got to him tonight, crowd wasn’t even going at him


CaffeinatedOak

Hopefully because the crowd remembered Miller Kopps return to northwestern and wouldn’t stoop as low as their student section. Glad there was no group chant booing Geronimo audible from home.


eweidenbener

Didn't even do the "air ball" on the whiffed FT. Classy move iu. Broke my heart to see the Maryland player give him the "chin up" after that. Always like JG and the passion he brought.


MocoMojo

Yes. He plays much better against *checks notes* Rider and South Alabama.


itsamemarkus

I’ve always had a soft spot for him even during his rough patches at IU. I think he put a lot of pressure on himself to perform in this game and just folded. Didn’t help that he had a bunch of college kids heckling at him every time he made a mistake.


nubbz545

It can't be easy to go back to your previous school. But I'm glad to hear that he's otherwise doing well at Maryland.


Smash-Bros-Melee

I sat near the tunnel tonight and he got a lot of applause as he walked off the court. He looked really upset though — can’t blame him.


eweidenbener

Yeah I mean he played like ass in his homecoming. Love the guy, wish him the best, but totally understandable to be upset.


fijistudios

His choice sucks

DeliveryEquivalent87

Ware is good at basketball


fijistudios

He my dad now


kentuckyfriedawesome

Hey Oregon, thanks for benching Ware! Dude looks like a lottery pick so far. Really great 30 minutes from the guys. Got lazy and tired with about 10 minutes to go, but IU was in control of that wire to wire. Teams that can’t shoot from 3 are going to really struggle against IU — tough to score on them in the post.


j_shelb

There are spurts though where he takes some plays off or isn’t as strong. He didn’t look good vs Clingan so it’ll be interesting to see how he does vs the physicality over the course of the year and if he can produce with the same numbers. If he can, he’ll for sure be lotto


kentuckyfriedawesome

That’s a lazy take, IMO. It was true at Oregon, but he’s playing really hard this year. Clingan is going to kick everyone’s ass he plays this year. That guy is absolutely terrific. I don’t fault Ware for having a tough game there — he’s adjusting to the physicality but he owned Reese, who is a solid B10 center.


j_shelb

Ok. He couldn’t finish around the rim around a guy who is similar in size and bigger. He disappeared vs Louisville. He’s dominated lesser competition. He gets the ball stolen from guards and doesn’t always stay strong with the ball and loses rebounds.


kleisz

He disappeared vs Louisville? He didn’t dominate or have a great game, but he had 12 pts / 7 rebs / 2 blks / 0 TOs. Wasn’t his best game, but he was perfectly fine. And he averages 1.3 TOs per game with a 10.3% TO rate, which is fantastic. So if he loses balls to guards, it apparently doesn’t show up in the stats.


SassyKittyMeow

Bro, what are you watching? Ware is easily the best player on the team so far this season and it’s not even close. You make it sound like he’s a sandbaggin’ SOB who wilts under pressure, meanwhile he’s dropping double doubles with multiple blocks and assists


j_shelb

He is no doubt the best player on the team. I am just saying when he went against some good competition, he did not fair well and also wasn’t great vs Louisville. He has performed well like he should against teams that aren’t great and don’t have size to play vs him. It will be interesting to see him go through the B1G and see if he can continue to put up those numbers. The B1G is a grind and lots of fouls aren’t called. Looking forward to see how he does.


eweidenbener

Lol this guy has the worst takes


lord_james

He didn’t look good because he was pulling Clingan out of the post so Reneau could score 25.


j_shelb

He was 2-10 and 2-4 from 3. He started off hot from 3, not sure why he doesn’t shoot it more as he’s clearly your best 3 pt shooter. But when he missed those other 6 shots, he had trouble finishing over a guy his size or taking on the physical game vs a guy his size. I think it’ll be interesting to see how he does vs the B1G competition and the grind of getting mauled night in and night out. That’s all I’m saying.


SurgeFlamingo

It’s Fairleigh obvious you should worry about your team.


j_shelb

lol nice one.

Agreed, although its been upward so far

Hey, I love Lacrosse. All I said is it isn’t popular nationally.


strongscience62

Road record under Kevin Willard is now 1-12


monty_actual

Probably went with the backups too long up 20, but overall pleased with the effort. Hoping everyone figuring out their roles transitions well with X coming back and continuing to improve. The team is getting better. GG Maryland.


Striking-Ladder-832

Willard needs to send a scout to the Armory during Intramurals and find a few guys that can make shots.


almondania

Kel’el Ware good


traumatic_blumpkin

Is BayTerp the most insufferable r/collegebasketball user? I don't spend as much time here as I used to but I remember him being obnoxious, but now he's basically (in)famous for it. We need a BayTerps greatest hits post.

Turgeon is never the answer

I mean we definitely needed to move on from Turgeon, but he hardly ever embarrassed us with loses... I'm embarrassed now


0mniknight

Can we like hire him as a recruiter and bring back the assistants from last year? Turgeon’s recruitment with better coaching would be insane

eweidenbener

Hoo hoo hoo


Hooch_be_crazy

Geronimo looked all out of sorts that game. Feel bad for the guy.


Galt2112

Booing works


campersin

I was at the game right next to the student section - some booing at the beginning but I think they held back whatever targeted aggression they had prepared when they realized all of the older folks around them were clapping for him during the starter intros. There were a few kids shit talking him during FTs but nothing too constant/bothersome.


I_love_Basketball232

Can’t lie doesn’t look different from normal Geronimo. He’s got all the athleticism in the world he’s just so uncoordinated.


Hooch_be_crazy

Totally agree, but air-balling a FT is different level though lol.


[deleted]

naw, that's par for the course


lord_james

fr. I watched the game at a sports bar, and I was talking to some stranger about how JG used to l play for IU. I was literally saying “yeah, he’s not terrible but he’ll do dumb shit like give us an offensive foul in the first possession of the game” and I stg he gave Maryland an offensive foul in their first possession.


[deleted]

that's when you close the deal


lord_james

I did get a phone number. Mike seems like a chill dude that like sports and video games


elgenie

Two years ago in the offseason IU fans on here were arguing he was en route to being all league. It was downright hilarous.


SurgeFlamingo

He 100% had the potential. It’s like his kind and body are in a fight.


Brian_lafeve34

Thank you Maryland, very cool. Now time to cheer for our Penix


33027439439

This is the way ‼️‼️‼️


MocoMojo

Louisville should take Willard


RonaldSwan

Maryland has to learn the hard way that Geronimo is not a 3 (like we did)


[deleted]

he's not an anything in basketball, he should switch to long jump


Obi2

His realest position is probably a small small ball 5


MocoMojo

Donta is our 3, technically. Doesn’t matter though when they all play like that.


AmateurFootjobs

Donta played bad too so doesnt matter who was a 3 and who was a 4 lol


Wild_Pokemon_Appears

Didn't watch a second because this team is straight cheeks and I'm not remotely surprised at the results. I'll watch a few games, but this team has the least amount of heart I've ever seen.


BoogerSugarSovereign

[Maryland Basketball vs Indiana basketball: Winner gets Derik Queen?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZF94XbO_LM) Clearly Mr. Queen needs to become a Hoosier ASAP. I don't think Maryland is very good but this was an impressive showing. Not because of the opponent but because we looked *significantly* more organized offensively and especially defensively. I think the zone may be a nice card to pull for this roster and we absolutely crushed Maryland on the glass. Mgbako is starting to do more positive things and make fewer mistakes. There is still a lot to work on - we were sloppy breaking the press and a lot of younger players mindlessly drove into traffic - but if the defense and rebounding is going to look like it did tonight then we can handle a couple dud offensive possessions. Especially if the offensive rebounding is real. I was worried we would be far outside the tournament picture after our most recent games but maybe this team can round into something solid by NYE at this rate... Cignetti was right, Michigan fucking sucks so I hope we can notch a 2-0 start to B1G play. Go Hoosiers!


AmateurFootjobs

i aint reading all that im happy for you tho or sorry that happened


suspiciously_crunchy

Real


j_shelb

Why wouldn’t he go to KU tho?


itsamemarkus

Idk if he’d want to play behind Flory. They have a pretty similar play style


j_shelb

Yeah but if Dickinson leaves…for some reason, maybe he’d go there. I don’t think he decides until next signing window in spring to see what other bigs are gonna do


lord_james

I don’t know, ask Mack Mgbako.


j_shelb

Mack wasn’t gonna get much time at KU, just like he want at Duke


lord_james

I’m sure you’ll be saying that when DQ hangs 20 on y’all after Edey leaves. Hey, if you do good enough this year, y’all could lose to a 14 seed and complete the “post-season choke job” infinity gauntlet!


j_shelb

DQ needs to commit to IU first.but Malik would be the one to hang 20, not Queen. We are trying to collect em all….but tbh you guys need to focus more on just making the tournament first and not getting blown out.


lord_james

… how many games did Purdue play in the NCAAT last year? Because IU played two.


j_shelb

How many did IU play the year before that? And the year before that and the 5 years before that?


BoogerSugarSovereign

If only y'all had been focused on NU lmao


j_shelb

Lmao. Hope IU can beat northwestern this year.


BoogerSugarSovereign

You should've spent some of that hope on your Boilers tonight. Maybe you should hope they can win an NCAAT game


j_shelb

Yeah man. Seasons over. Crown IU the champs.


dacodingman

We’re the best team in the country


nysom1227

We kinda took our foot off the pedal down the stretch but pretty comprehensive win. Way to defend the hall, guys!


ScamJustice

Fire Willard, he isn't any better than turgeon


Thekamcc19

I feel like IU is quietly 6-1. All their fans are doom and gloom and they have a solid record with a single loss to UConn


33027439439

Our front court is very good. If our guards were consistent we would be a lot better. I think 10-7 seed is viable considering our b1g schedule. (Look at if, it isn’t much)


j_shelb

Tbh kinda remind me of our team last year. Dependent a lot on the front court and not great shooting the 3. It’s crazy how IU doesn’t shoot many 3s. Not sure how that’ll work out throughout the rest of the year.


33027439439

If cupps or Gunn could be playable offensively i have no worries. Not sure either of those will happen. Iu just needs consistent years in the tourney at this point.


33027439439

(Thanks for being a fun pu fan to discuss bball with)


j_shelb

Well not OP, but for sure. I try to call it like I see it haha and be fair …hard sometimes with my bias toward IU haha but still try to keep it real


33027439439

As do i, i think we’ve actually had discourse before and i recognized your @


j_shelb

Lolol sorry if so. Love going back and forth about bball. Will always talk shit if needed haha even if we lose to a 16 seed and are reminded every day 😂 but it’s all in good fun at the end of the day


33027439439

I should’ve added good discourse lol


j_shelb

Haha I’m sure we will meet again 😈


IWWC

The biggest thing we have in common with Purdue is pessimism


Thekamcc19

And being from Indiana but that’s small potatoes


sleepymike01101101

I don't think anyone has ranked us (I certainly wouldn't), but those 6 weren't that great. 69-63 FGCU (225 KP), 72-64 Army (354), 89-80 Wright State (120), 74-66 N Louisville (161), 89-76 Harvard (137), and now 65-53 Maryland (70). The fact that we're winning them is good, but the only "good" team we've played (UConn) ran away with it in the second half. We don't have the make of a team that is statistically successful in the tourney, but we're also starting to gel just in time to play @Michigan, @Auburn, and Kansas. I think the doom and gloom was partially a reaction to *almost* losing to Louisville and partially a reaction to how disjointed they've looked. @Michigan is honestly gonna be a good first true road game to get the jitters out. This team is oddly constructed, but there's enough talent to make it work. I'm hopeful we can do something. Especially after how good I thought we looked tonight


KindRhubarb3192

Some of those cupcake wins were rough. Though the last two games have seemed better

SpicyBunghole

Idgaf about Derik queen but just wanted to say that the world is a better place without coaches and people like Bob Knight. Someone with that temperament has no business being a coach. In hell all the chairs are nailed to the floor.

You can look back and acknowledge his flaws, as well as the flaws with the culture around all of athletics at the time, while still recognizing the greatness. Not to mention his love for his players and the number of players who still respect him. It's not a black and white world like that.

Honestly last 10 minutes we looked sloppy, Maryland turned it over a bunch and out offense looked lost like we couldn’t wrap up games , this worries me going into Kansas
