I purposely wanted to wait a little while before reflecting too much on Maryland's season-ending loss to LSU March 23.
When a loss is that gut-wrenching -- the type that demolishes your heart more than even a blender in an Eve 6 song is capable of doing -- it's a little tougher to offer pragmatic thought. You need some time to distance yourself from such heartbreak and think a bit more clearly.
And with the benefit of that extra time, I do indeed think it's imperative that we give head coach Mark Turgeon credit. Everything about that brutal 69-67 loss to LSU changed the moment he switched to a zone defense. The Tigers absolutely crumbled, giving the Terps a legitimate shot at pulling off a staggering comeback win.
