2/28: 19-8, 11-7 Maryland is here. We're favored by 2 ½ but this is no cake walk. We rebound better but the other stats are about even. They are 1-3 vs. ranked teams but only lost to #1 Michigan ST by 4 at home, though it was 26 on the road. We expect a battle!
3/1: “Kick some butt!”
Back and forth. 2 point lead after 10. Up 10 at the half. 15 for Mack, 14 for Sams. 2 TOs, to 10. They're shooting better but we've taken 6 more shots. +9 from the line. Up 18 with 10 to play!
98-81. HUGE win! Tied with #10 Wisconsin for 2nd.
27, 3, 5 for Sams, 26, 7, 5 steals for Mack, 13, 14 for Tuck, 16, 7 for Bowe.
+11 RBs, 7 TOs.
June is in pain but the meds help. I'm in a lot of pain because I'm too stubborn to take them. We're managing, but I brought a robotic cook and house cleaner in to help. A nurse comes in daily to check on June, but he checks on me, too; same nurse both days.
My staff is gathering all the statistical data for me but they're sending it to me and I'm doing the analysis here, and communicating with those who need my information and advice. So I am working, but at my own pace, and not when June needs me.
