It looked like fine times at Comcast Center again tonight. There was a little more intensity in the building, and a few more fannies in the seats it appeared. The ACC opener was here, and for the first half it looked the Terps were going to make it a cake walk. Eric Hayes and Landon [...]
Good bye non-conference schedule, hello ACC Schedule. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching the Terps no matter who they play, but there is something special about playing ACC games. And for some unknown scheduling process, the Terps are among the last teams to get things going despite both the Terps and the Noles having [...]
The brutally long break in Maryland’s schedule for final exams, is over, and the Terps played a solid game against an inferior opponent. Winston Salem St. wasn’t exactly the toughest opponent on the schedule this year, but coming out of finals, I was impressed with the performance of the Terps. First thing you had to [...]
A mid-December game against Eastern Kentucky, wouldn’t normally elicit a ton of interest, but this is the game where Dino Gregory is expected to make his return to the lineup. The Terps will be very happy to back another big man, if for nothing else, some added depth. The problem is Maryland is going to [...]
I just wanted to take a few minutes to talk about the Villanova game. I don’t have the stats in front of me so I’m not going to get too indepth, but I will say that I was as pleased as can be for a Maryland loss. Don’t get me wrong, I was pretty grumpy [...]
You hate to call a game on the first day of December a must win, but following the two losses in the Maui Classic, the Terps needed a win. Sure this Indiana team isn’t as good as they have been in the past, but it was a good test for the first true road game [...]
All along, I said playing Chaminade, really doesn’t do anything for the Terps. Win, and well, that is what is expected. Lose, and it could be catastrophic. Well, last night I found something good about playing Chaminade. Had the Terps had a start like that against a more talented team, and the early deficit may [...]
Can you really project what players are going to turn into after two games? Not exactly, but two games into the Terp careers of James Padgett and Jordan Williams, I have been pleased. With the absence of Dino Gregory, and the injury to Steve Goins’ knee, Williams and Padgett are being counted on a little [...]
In a busy weekend for us at Turtledroppings, we haven’t had much time to discuss the the weekends activities. First of all let’s just go ahead and get it over with and discuss the football team. I don’t have much to say. Honestly, it was about as expected. Though I was holding out hope that [...]
In this half of the Terps basketball preview, we are going to look at the Maryland big men. A year ago, that term was kind of a misnomer considering Dave Neal was the starting center, and he was about 6’5″ and Landon Milbourne moved from small forward to power forward. Though the Terps have added [...]
