as much as i think this team is going to succeed based on its defense, last night's game was won by the offense & the defense showed some holes

by my count (which might not be accurate, i was keeping it in my head while watching), maryland scored 9 pts on 5 transition opportunities, converting on 4 of those 5 trips.  jb tightened that up at halftime; maryland only got 5 on 5 more chances in the 2nd half, coming up empty 3 times.  but that first half transition d cannot be there on saturday or kansas will run us out of the building.

in the halfcourt, when maryland didn't turn it over and managed to get the ball to the free throw line, they executed very well and carved the zone up.  our guys did not execute well other than when they managed to deny that entry pass to begin with.  overall, maryland had an offensive efficiency of 109.4, by far our worst showing of the season (our own efficiency was 110.8).

glass is half full:  this game give the staff a lot of tape to show the guys how their rotations were off and how they need to improve and they have 3-4 days to practice before flying to miami
