I then proceeded to eat some fried chicken and cheese fries before going to bed a 12:45 a.m. As I approached my house, Margaritaville by Jimmy was playing. I listened to some Sirius XM radio on the way home. SIDE NOTE – After the press conference, I made the long icy trek back to the garage to my vehicle. I enjoyed watching him hype himself up he drain three after three. He had two wide-open shots from deep in the last couple of possessions to take the lead but they just didn’t fall. For Wisconsin, “Big Shot-Big Balls” Reuvers had 18 points, seven rebounds. Sometimes he is just a little wild in the lane. Maryland would go on to win 64-60.Ĭowan would finish with 21 points, six rebounds and three assists. Then with a flair for the dramatic Anthony Cowan made a deep three-pointer with under a minute left to take the lead back 62-60. They went on about a ten minute span without a made field goal in the second half. It seemed like Maryland would just flounder away and just lose it totally in the end. Wisconsin actually took the lead late 60-59 with two minutes left. They ended up just scoring a ton from the free throw line. On offense Maryland stopped playing inside and out without Bruno. Fernando was out with foul trouble for majority of the second half and Maryland didn’t have an answer on defense for the pick and pop combo. Trice and Reuvers were a nightmare for Maryland in the pick and roll. ![]() Trice made three, Davison made two and Nate “Big Shot-Big Balls” Reuvers made four. Wisconsin made eleven in the second half. Then came the onslaught of three-pointers from Wisconsin. Maryland went up by as much as 21 points. The second half was much of the same early. Good start for Maryland as they built a 33-15 halftime lead. Jalen Smith had an active 7 points and 5 rebounds. Eric Ayala had a solid half with 8 points and a couple of three-pointers. He still has some moments, but this game was solid. He has vastly improved his patience in the post since last season. When he was doubled he would find the open man. For Maryland Bruno Fernando had success in the paint. Ethan Happ had 6, Brad Davison had 5 and D’mitrik Trice had 4. They held Wisconsin to just 15 points and they were 0-8 from three. They were more aggressive on offense and defense. The game started out very bad for the Badgers of Wisconsin. Being a 27 year old that’s had 3 knee surgeries, 2 slipped discs in my back, 2 kids and I’ve been married for almost 8 years…… I feel like a 75 year old anyway. I walked like a 75 year old with two replaced hips, just to make sure I didn’t eat it. It was just tough because of the ice everywhere. I picked up my credential and parking pass from the hotel on campus and zig-zagged through the back of campus to the garage, which is roughly a half mile from the arena. I left my house at 6:30 to head to College park. After the appointment the wife and I picked up the little ones from her parents, we stopped by Royal Farms for gas and an 8 piece of chicken, mac and cheese and western fries with cheese and then finally we went home. So yes, the wait was an entire hour.…… We didn’t leave until like 5:35. I especially hate going to the doctor’s when they don’t call you into the back to see you until literally 5 p.m. I hate going to the doctor’s like everyone else. I ran home really quick and then had to head off to a doctor’s appointment at 4 p.m. I got off work the same time as normal, around 3 ish. The Life of a Freelance Basketball Scout – Game 10
