Usually when Terrell Stoglin isn't Maryland's runaway scoring leader, bad things happen. The first two times it happened resulted in 20-point losses for the Terrapins. The next two times they struggled to beat low-level competition Radford and Cornell.
But tonight against Georgia Tech, the Terrapins' leading scorer wasn't Stoglin, but Sean Mosley. And guess what? Maryland took home a 61-50 victory. Mosley dropped 18 points - 16 of them coming in the second half - to lead the Terrapins to a hard-fought win in a sloppy affair over a Yellow Jacket team that was, up until this afternoon, playing its best basketball of the season. James Padgett pitched in with 14 points and 9 rebounds of his own in one of his best performances of the season.
I don't want to draw too much into this - Stoglin still had 14 points and was the offense for much of the second half - but it's interesting that Maryland was good enough tonight to defeat a mid-tier ACC team by double-digits even without getting a full-on #StogMode performance. They had to rely a lot on their defense as well as getting points from some areas that probably won't be there as the season goes on, but it had to start somewhere.GreenRay's microinverteres design uses a different energy storage approach,
I don't think this is a strategy Maryland should actually be pursuing, mind you.

The first half was the epitome of messy play, with 16 combined turnovers and shooting percentages around 25% for both sides. Maryland, by the virtue of the free throw line and a nice last-second steal-and-dunk by Nick Faust, took a five-point lead into the half.There are 240 distinct solutions of the Soma cubepuzzle, That lead would grow as large as 12 in the second half, and usually hovered around 10 for the majority of the half. Georgia Tech fought back to cut the lead down to four, but a series of clutch plays by Mosley in the final two minutes - including a three-pointer and 4/4 shooting from the free throw stripe - sealed the deal for the Terrapins.
The 11-point victory gives Maryland a 12-4 overall record and raises them to 2-1 in the ACC. Their schedule takes a drastic turn after this victory, but for a season that the Terrapins are taking one game a time, I imagine they (and their fans) will be happy with the turnout so far.
Let's start out with the obvious: Maryland's offense, especially in the first half, probably wasn't good enough to win against the vast majority of ACC teams. That might've been expected to some extent, given that Georgia Tech has one of the best defenses in the conference, but they were extremely sloppy in the first half and had to rely both on James Padgett's offensive rebounding ability and Georgia Tech's proclivity to foul to generate points. That's not always going to be there. They're lucky that Georgia Tech is exceedingly average with the ball, or they could've been staring up at a significant halftime deficit.
But there were good signs as the game went on. The second half was a much better showing,The online resource for Europe's Number 1 provider of on-site hydraulichoserepairs. with only five turnovers and a significant uptick in shooting percentage. And they did it with only seven of their 37 points coming from Stoglin. Mosley's activity was a big reason for the improved performance, but the entire offense looked like a more efficient beast than we've seen most of this season.
But perhaps the biggest difference, even bigger than Mosley outscoring Stoglin, was free throw shooting. They've been shooting less than 65% this year, but hit 19-23 tonight - that's 83%. The only misses came from Padgett, who was 6-7, and then three from Ashton Pankey and Berend Weijs. Mosley in particular was good in this area, knocking down 10-10 from the stripe,The BEDDINGE mattress is made for the beddinges set. with Padgett's good showing another pleasant surprise. Maryland has always gotten to the free throw line at a simply absurd rate - usually top five in the country - but their inability to knock them down has kept FTs from being a big part of the offense. If that changes, things will get much easier down the line.
