Wake Forest Game Thread

Before I get into my brief pre-game analysis; I need to tell you a quick story.  At around noon today, I was scheduled to be a guest on Terrapin Sports Network’s Pregame Radio Show (that’s 105.7 in Baltimore and 106.7 in DC).  I was going to talk about Turtle Soup and the general state of [...]

Terps – UNC Thread

Today is Maryland’s penultimate chance to impress the selection committee. Some probably think that this is an exercise in futility and there is nothing the Terps can do short of winning out to get in.
I’m inclined to agree. The Terps just aren’t good enough to compete with the likes of UNC. As [...]

Opportunity Knocks in Clemson, SC

Make no mistake. The Terps are a long shot to make the NCAAs. However, a loss at Clemson on Tuesday, will not eliminate the Terps. Maryland is not expected to beat the #8 team in the RPI on the road. So, the Terps have no expectations and nothing to lose. [...]

Virginia Tech Thread

Well fans, here we go.
Today, the Terps begin in earnest their quest to earn that elusive NCAA bid.  This season has delivered mixed results but the Terps have a chance to right the ship today and set themselves up for a run that could turn the season around.
We are seeing signs that the team has [...]

Must Win Part IV – Georgia Tech Thread

I feel like this is the third or fourth “must win” game so far this year.  With each “must” win that turned into a loss; the Terps somehow have at least kept their hopes alive for an NCAA berth.
Let’s be honest; the Terps are on the outside looking in; and will need to play out [...]

Ahhhh… All is well… until 10pm tonight?

It’s been a nice few days of love throughout the Maryland basketball program.  Debbie Yow cleared the air publically, Gary was back to running down his resume and predicting next year’s team will be ranked.  Hey, we’ve all seen the good that this team has to offer.  I believe he can make it happen, but [...]

Gameday Thread: Maryland v. Duke

Maryland enters the first installment of its biannual dance with Duke at a crossroads.  At 13-5, the Terps desperately need a signature win to get back into serious contention for an NCAA berth.
Terp Nation is uneasy.  Clearly undermanned upfront, the Terps have played valiantly, yet they appear to be fatally flawed in a distinct way: [...]

Georgia Tech: ACC Opener Thread

This afternoon’s game is a must-win.  The Terps have to bounce back and prove that Morgan State was an aberration.  The ACC schedule is too tough to give up a win at home against a bottom division team.  I don’t care how big GT is, the Terps must beat them.
I don’t see Maryland blowing any [...]

Charlotte at Home = Trap Game

Charlotte is dangerous. They lost to Clemson by 1 point. Last year, the Terps won on the road in what at the time, signaled a brief resurgence that culminated with our victory at UNC a few weeks later. This time around, the Terps are looking to keep their longest winning streak in [...]

George Washington Preview and Thread

My slingbox is out of commission, so I will have to follow the proceedings online. GW is rebuilding. The Colonials didn’t even finish over .500 last year (figures we played VCU last year in the BB&T) and are looking to rebound.
Their squad is young and has some talent; but the Terps have no [...]
