7 Tennessee vs #13 Maryland Basketball Game Highlights 12 11 2022

Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, the site of what's easily the game of the day in Division I college basketball. A resurgent Maryland team, eight and one this year after a tough year last year against a one-loss Tennessee team. And we are pumped for this. Jason Benetti, Jim Jackson, along with Linda, has been one of the top 25 teams inside the arc this year as well. Tennessee's had good post defense, and we'll see what shakes out. A great game today in Brooklyn, but a down low block just missed it right on the doorstep. But I'd love to play out the box, that Blomchick inside can get deep post position. You talked about the ability for both teams to score inside the paint. It's because they're not as proficient shooting teams behind the three-point line as of yet early in the season. Both very good three-point defenses as well. Tennessee, number one in the country, Maryland 17. Here is Young late in the shot clock, and that three is blocked. And here comes Tennant, knocked around and ends up with the Terrapins. Protecting the defensive glass on both sides. We talked about how in a well-formed both teams are offensive rebound-wise. Great read there and a knockaway for Tennessee. Right down the lane, Tyreek Key is fouled, and he'll get two free throws. Drops it in. No, that's a donation of points. Julian Phillips gets to the line a ton as well. Sent from Reinhardt, Maryland 34. You gotta keep that in mind. Phillips slicing through. That got at least altered by Dante Scott. That's why I love these type of games early in the season. Yeah, great for both teams. Key for Vescovy, five to shoot, and the floater, no good. Offensive rebound and a follow for Kamala. Wouldn't go, and a foul called on the third opportunity. Something that, from a transfer perspective, but profitable in that sense for Kevin Willard and his coaching staff. Another local product, and he's trying to body up down low against Reese, who just went crumpling down in a heap, and Baca took it away. Down the lane, it is Phillips for two. See if Reese is all right. In the paint and a nice little runner, soft touch right in the front of the rim, so breaking the seal a little bit more for Tennessee offensively. Off the spin, a floater for Young. That won't go. He had a very clear view of the basket. Now Ziegler, the hit of him. Tennessee very willing to take chances in transition, and two free throws coming for the Vols. Could the foul get to the free throw line? That's a second foul. It's more perimeter oriented, but you still want to have a little team in order to absorb some of the foul trouble in order to secure defensive rebounding. Scott into the lane, had to pry it free. Taken away by Ziegler. He hustles it in a hurry into the front court for two and a foul. Tennessee and Mayshak. Now get out in transition and run and see what opportunities open up for you. Foul going against Tennessee, and you know, good to hear, but you love to have that body if you're Tennessee in the lineup. Martinez halfway through the shot clock, got it into the corner, and foul with the Turks. That's the right play. The ball came from outside the post, swung around the perimeter. Dante Scott was open. Three so far, 34% for the year. Awaka tried to skip pass, got deflected. Up top. What I mean is that that causes maybe sometimes a player like Reese to pick up an offensive foul because of the quick movements of the guard before they were set. Beautiful pass and play set that time by Tennessee. Bescovine to Key. The UConn, Xavier, I think is gonna be a menace, and we're talking about Creighton. A lot of questions to be answered once you dive into the full breadth of the Big East season. It's coming fast. Halfway through this first half, Maryland out of the big ten, struggling to score. Ziegler, a rim rock. And will get three free throws for Don Carey. Starts lean. Your body's gonna carry you forward. Ziegler right there. Two for two, so he's a career 38% three-point shooter in this year, 26, so the type of three-point shots that he's been presenting, I believe that if that's your average over your career, you kind of balance yourself out and get back into that. He has a different mindset, different set of offensive, philosophies. First one good. All weaker. Here on Fox at FS1. Is the fifth against Tennessee. Scott Fines-Young won't go. There's a Maryland fan to our left who looks like he's gonna tear his hat apart with every missed three. Yeah, he's feeling everything, too, because he has some open looks. There's the high-low action. Plobchik just barreled in for two. But I like him because he did his work early. A lot to see if they can make this a 13 to 14, not able to convert those open looks. And sometimes you gotta give yourself a chance, and I can talk about Maryland, to stay within the fight. So when eventually you're able to make shots, you're right in the game. From the line, that's a way one. It's been a little bit of a tight whistle so far, too. So 16 fouls to this point with six minutes plus to go. Bescovite back after the shoulder injury, the native of Uruguay. Up for Bescovite, nice contact. Just a delay. Think about it, before the Wisconsin game has been relatively easy. Not easy disrespecting any of the teams that Maryland played, but offensively, and by coaching them, and he's utilizing that to his advantage. Said the NBA Global Academy, which has done so well. Bescovite. Denied the shot. Oh, beautiful pass from Kanye Serkis. And free throws made per game. So they're already at seven. They make about 19 a game. Young the find, carry the miss. Young tees it up, and that finally goes down. A three for Bescovite. Sometimes it's not made to steal the basketball, but bleed some time off your opponent's shot clock. And it's Bescovite who missed. Hands everywhere in Oregon. Little handoff that Nantes got one to do. Didn't feel right. He almost turned it over. But that's a credit to the Vols' defense. Looked like he was running a jet sweep. Just a handoff real quick, right? Throw it up in the air. Yeah. Looked like a catch and run. Inside with Carey. Just put it on the rim, as you said, and a foul against Maryland. And Callum's able to wedge himself inside and get an offensive rebound, which will finish that defense with a defensive rebound. It can get frustrating. Rebound. How high did he get? Bescovite trying to carve, and he picks it back out for Kamala. A walk-up. Jimmy's into the hole. That should be a goal tag, right? Well, he picked it against the backboard. Bescovite will take the three anyway. Little smooch. Little smooch. Just a little bit. That's going to be a side swipe and a foul against Tennessee. But if you notice, because Maryland is not a drive that Maryland is accustomed to getting, it's not there because there's always a box before Christmas. I thought we might get some more love from Santee if that's... Not Santee. Santee, huh? Santee. That's part of his Instagram. Great job keeping these guys. As you do, you step in, and Danny had his fears before coming in at Wake Forest. So, and he was there. And again, it's not easy, but those young men, to their credit, they fought through it. But now there's a change in the air with Kevin Willey. There's Phillips. Really tough shot. It'll be interesting to see how they come out of the locker room. It's going to be a foul against Comm Law at this game. Only put up 59 at that loss we were talking about. Noah Batchelor, the freshman, the first signee for Kevin Willey. After he took the job, goes two for two. Now Maryland has nine from the foul line, eight from the field so far. Up the dribble, and Bescovite has to go meet him. Martinez right in his pocket. Timeout Rick Barton. Rick didn't like how that sent. Hearing a different voice. And SEC is tough now. I mean, it's considered low tier basketball rivals at other campuses right now. Air ball for Bescovite, and a whistle going Maryland's way. Five years have really staked their claim, not just in the SEC, but nationally. Young driving kick, got it to the corner. Three wouldn't go for Scott, and that is exactly how the half went for Maryland. An open look from three wouldn't go down, and the Terps two for 16 from three. You're going to have some, it just matters how many. It's going to happen, but sometimes, I'm going to tell you something, you've got to learn how to win a lot of times. There's game pressure on the horizon, and we've got to learn by it. Was unable to keep Dante Scott, who had the inside position in regards to the quick step. Real simple, right? Paraphrasing there. Reese, on the kick, tops Scott. Good recovery again, but Scott finishes, and now the Terp fan. Contested, let's force him to have to guard off the dribble. Beautiful inbounds pass. Man, I'm, I'm. He's right there, but he's got the contact. Reese, banging a cobbler. He's missed some chippies around the basket in the first half. That time, power, but then he was able to finish it with a little bit of finesse, and speaking of which, Ziegler right there, taking advantage. Baller, then, you make your way into. Creativity. Yeah, creativity. That's what it is, a little creativity. But you can see it on the court, too, right? Like, use your size, be clever. Down low, Reese starting to get on track for Maryland. Their offense to create some passing lanes, get inside, get some gaps in the lane, then be able to get closer to the bucket. Have four field goals in the second half, which is more than they had in the first half, a three for 24. Ziegler knocks down a three. And we're talking about being ready. Yesterday was his first full practice since the injury happened, so he went kind of halfway on Thursday, on Friday, I should say. At full practice yesterday, looks totally ready here today as Young uses the body to score. A beautiful move inside, and to put it kind of basketball shape-wise, but you're able to get. But nobody called out for long. If they did, they didn't hear it. Man. Off the Reese screen, Scott didn't take the three. Bumping into Kamla, measuring him, spinning off of him, triple team comes. Somebody's open, and it's a three-point foul again. Hakeem Hart going to the line. And there was a foul after the shot, on the shot. Quiet day today after a two for ten against Wisconsin. Having shot the ball well. Defense here for Maryland. A little shimmy. Ziegler fake the three. Floater, teardrop, rolls out. Get a body on somebody inside. Dante Scott. For two. Well, look, Kevin Rutter wants his team to tough ass, but you have to fight through these big bodies of volunteers. Tennessee this year is eighth in the country in two-point defense as well, right? When you think you have open looks, fine. But you get the ball down low, and they affect shots like there. Tom was late. It ends up as two for Dante Scott in a 12-point game. That was a case of really good defense. It was just better offense, and there it is. Again, for Maryland. Brooks said he sat back down. Trusting his big guy not to pick up a fifth, but you talk about momentum. Maryland's within 12, nine and change to go. Young rides it into the lane and scores. It's a 10-point game. Momentum starting to swing a little bit more towards Maryland. Reese down low. Scores! Scored to eight. It's intercepted by Young and Zvezdkovich. Maryland, which has shot very poorly today, struggled from three. To your string. I mean, how's it driving the basketball? Offensively, if I'm reading lips. Young broke it down. Up top. No three from Scott. He knocks down, and it's a four-point. The house. Don, if you would have made that seed from a Maryland perspective. Why is Young giving a foul there? Did they want the break? Kevin Willer wanted that so he could get to the timeout without using the timeout. One of the fans in the seats is having a long discussion longer than Owen Short wants to have the official. Zvezdkovich, step back, rimmed it out. Phillips soaring in. By Julie Portline. Yeah, I'm with you. Six minutes to go in Brooklyn. King catching shoe. Oh, that's tough. Let me tell you something. Squaring up, and that's a huge shot for Tennessee. Young, too, as well. Quick offense. Three-point play. Forty-eight, and then he missed the shot from short range. On hunting the paint. Now he fires for three, and he missed it. Maybe a shot that you want to peel back a little bit because you have momentum, and what's been good for you is being able to utilize a pick-and-roll with openings that get downhill. That was a little too quick on the trigger on that. You get down the stretch. A four-point game. Bescovich missed a free throw on the first attempt of the second half for Tennessee, and a foul against Cobbler. Guess what? It's where it comes down to when you're not shooting well that you have to be able to convert from the free-throw line. Ian Martinez gets the first to go. What did he say? I can't say. Look, I just signed a box, so I don't want to leave. You can say you can use... For the turrets. Cobbler didn't take the three. Tough pass to Bescovich. Rescues it. Fakes a three. Kicks it wide. Got a three. Mayshack. The three-point line, able to knock that one in. For a stuck... Maryland can tie with a three. Scott took his eye off the ball for a moment. Recovers now. Drives the lane. So does Martinez. He gets to the rim and gets drilled. Two free throws coming for Martinez. Today, if they came back to win, was the ACC tournament in old... Does now figure out players how to adjust early in the season to in time to see his guys under duress, guys that he hasn't recruited and really doesn't know all too well to be able to figure out what plays he can run defensively and offensively as they dig into the Big Ten season in these close games. A lot of learning to be done. Tennessee still playing without... with four fouls. That's it. Scott going to work with the right, and he missed it. And Ziegler at 5'9", clears the rebound. But how many times have you seen that from Ziegler throughout the course of the game? Again, the bigs are boxing out. That's when your guards have to engage. But a well-drawn-out play by Kevin Willard to get Scott the shot. He just was unable to connect it. The two-two in business. That's one of them right there. Phillip now, he's got Kamla from Finland. He's got Popcich from Serbia, Bescovi from Uruguay. And he credited Fran Fraschilla, his former assistant, for getting him out of the United States into Europe recruiting. Cross lane feed, nicely done for Hart. And a swivel didn't get something positive, so let's see. Under two to go. Ziegler, stutter step. Phillips nearly traveled. Pressing into the lane. Bounce pass, he let... Rebound, you got 20 on the evening. Could have been 21, but yet Maryland now has an opportunity. He missed the three. Oh, what a rebound by Julian Reese. Young tees it up. That faded on him. And I believe he had a break out of that. Reese just went to the ground, he fell. Beautiful play, beautiful play. Phillips got in. Second chance, no, sir. Opportunity has been knocking on the Barclays center door all day long. This is tipped into the backcourt, and it's a timeout called by Maryland. To the game clock. Dante Scott nearly got fouled. He places it in the steady hands of Jameer Young. It's Mason. Carey pulls the trigger. Missed it, he knew it. He followed the shot. Rebound on the deck. North step, it's a two-point game. Timeout, Tennessee. No timeouts, here we go. Phillips and a double team got out of the way, and Ziegler got bumped hard. Man, Phillips, 79% free for Ziegler. No good. Maryland's got the rebound. Hart saves it in bounds. Maryland has led two to one, and that is it. Young slams on the brakes. Now drives by Ziegler. Floater is no good. Fouled Tennessee, and Key is fouled. Tennessee will see if they foul. Young into the frontcourt, down by three. Gets the shot off. It's an air ball, and Tennessee, with a capital S, survives. Not easy, and you talked about see if they're going to foul, but you got to practice this. You have to practice this all the time to know exactly when, and that's why a lot of coaches don't employ that strategy to foul early. The percentages say that the shot is not going to be made, and this time Young getting to his left hand, just not able to get it, and it's been that kind of evening from behind the three-point line.
