I am moving forward from yesterdays huge debacle.  I have not looked at a boxscore or even an article about the game.  I saw all I needed to see, and I ready to move on to Tuesdays game against BC.  I am not giving up on the season, but things have to change quickly. I [...]

Unlike some others, I actually enjoy writting these angry posts.  I always feel a little better afterwards, kind of like the scene in “Office Space” with the copier.  Anyway, what else is there really left to say at this point.  I woke up Saturday  morning with the Duke game obviously on my mind.  I was in [...]

This isn’t going to be a fun post to write, but none the less it needs to be done.  Instead of bashing the team, let’s just say they were outclassed in every aspect of the game.  The final score of 85-44 is stunning.  I didn’t expect to win, but wow. I just want to quickly look [...]

A few thoughts as the game winds down. Maryland has talented players but they don’t have Wake, Dook, Carolina talent. Therefore they have to play perfect games to beat elite teams. Today the size disadvantage killed the Terps. If you aren’t tall enough to rebound then you have to make sure you box out and [...]

I did a little research on the Terps and this is what I came up with.  First of all starting with Joe Smith’s tip in at Cameron MD is 5-8 in Durham.  The last was during Vasquez and Hayes’s freshman year.  Greivis had 13 points, 12 assists, and 9 rebounds.  Pretty impressive.  Now I am [...]

First and foremost, the above title is not a typo, in fact it is one of my favorite phrases in Maryland Lore.  And I will never miss a chance to bring it up or talk about it.  In fact just reading it now gives me goose bumps.  We are kind of at a lull here, [...]

You can tell the current state of the basketball program isn’t where it once was.   If we would have had this blog several years ago, there would have been 10 post by now about the Duke game.  That being said, will anyone be really surprised if we win.  I know I won’t.  So here is [...]

I know, we are all Maryland fans here, and because of that we are all looking especially forward to Saturdays showdown with Duke, but before we get carried away with that, I wanted to take a quick look at the state of the ACC as we head towards another huge Saturday of match ups.  Surprises-First [...]

It has been reported that Moise Fokou has been added to the Senior Bowl roster.   That is quite an upgrade from the Texas VS. the nation game! Also, just wanted to let everyone know, we will be starting our Maryland-Duke Basketball pregame analysis tonight.   Checkback often for new updates.

In an all too familiar theme for the Terps, they built a 17 point first half lead on 58% shooting.  Dave Neal had the first 5 points of the game before taking an elbow above the eye and missing the rest of the half.  Adrian Bowie had 13 of his 17 points in the first [...]
