Terps Picked To Finish Sixth In The ACC

Is there any poll with less credibility than the annual preseason poll by ACC beat writers? I think when Maryland won it all in 2002, the writers still picked the Terps to finish third in the conference that year. The bias toward Carolina (UNC and Duke in particular) is so obvious and has [...]

Gus Gilchrist Commits to Maryland

This is huge news for Terp fans. Gilchrist is 6′10: and 240lbs. He is a shot blocker and a rebounder who can finish. He is rated as a 4-star recruit and a top-10 player at his position. That sounds like exactly what the Terps need. Suddenly, Maryland is overloaded with young [...]

Maryland Gets Shoveled by PooVA

Terps vs. PooVa

I am going to be flying to NYC tomorrow and I will not have access to the Internet for most of the weekend. Thus, I am posting a preview of tomorrow’s decisive tilt against the Yellow Jackets now. The Jackets have some nice wins in their favor, most notably at Notre [...]

Terrence Jennings is a Douche

So, we have all seen how Jennings displayed buyer’s remorse in going back on his verbal commitment to Maryland. He initially said that Maryland is still on his short list and he his action by no means indicated that he wouldn’t eventually end up in College Park. Well, apparently, something changed because Maryland [...]
