Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Maryland Minute 10.16.09 - Sean Mosley Can Score Now

And shoot, too!

Sean Mosley Lead All Scorers at MM
And he made a 3 pointer...and both of his layups!

He's a changed man, a changed man.

Virginia on upswing in time for Terps - Dinich
Is it ever any other way? It does explain the change, though:

"It was different because it was mayhem in there," Sewell said. "Every single person in that locker room was up yelling, up trying to boost everyone else’s morale. Honestly, I’ve been at Virginia a long time, and I’ve never seen our locker room that way. It was totally different than I’ve ever witnessed."

That's it? Yelling and morale boosting? Why haven't we tried this?!

CFN Says UVA 28-20
That's about right. I think Maryland will be closer, but can't complain.

Star-divide

Basics from basketball media day - D1SCOURSE
Hayes apparently has turf toe, but it's not serious. Other than that...pretty uneventful.

Basketball Media Day Quotes - Terrapins Insider
We missed this from yesterday, but a lot of quotes from Gary Williams can never be bad.

The Sabre Preview
Unsurprisingly, they both pick UVA. I mean, even I did.

Battle of The Sacked QBs
Chris Turner: Been sacked 21 times. Jameel Sewell: 19 times. Both are in the bottom (top?) four in the nation. Yikes. These offensive lines will be ugly.

Seth Davis Asks a Question of Maryland
Fair question:

Maryland: Can the Terps stay mad?

The answer: he says they have to. I say they will at the beginning and end, with a soft, chewy middle...like usual.

Meyer's Mailbag: Jordan Goodman, Possibility of Multiple Big 3 at UK
Jerry Meyer with one Maryland-related answer and one semi-Maryland-related answer:

Goodman, on the other hand, has a thin, wiry body. His game is more of a finesse game, and he prefers to play facing the basket. Certainly Goodman doesn't have the strength of [fellow 2011 big man Perry] Ellis and isn't as good in traffic. But Goodman is more of a running and jumping athlete. That said, Goodman's game is not as developed or refined as Ellis' game. Because of the underdeveloped nature of his game, Goodman has more upside than Ellis. However, it is very questionable that Goodman will ever develop the body and game to match where Ellis is right now.

...

All three of these prospects are primarily four men, but it is conceivable for all three to actually be on the court together - especially in the "Dribble Drive" offense. Leslie is capable of playing down a position at small forward. Out of the three, he has the best speed and quickness. He can defend a three and is the overall best defender of these prospects. With his leaping ability, he can even guard a center in a pinch. Offensively, he could play a wing slasher role. Both Harris and Jones could move back and forth between power forward and center. I like Jones guarding the five, because of his physical strength.

No way in hell two of them go to the same school.

Maybe it's just me...

but I feel that Midnight (or should I say Maryland) Madness has lost it’s lust in College Park. And no, it’s not because our team hasn’t been like the teams of the past. For one, it should definitely start at Midnight like it used to (why does it start at 9pm again)? Secondly, there just isn’t much excitement to it. Instead of playing a scrimmage of 1 on 1 with poor defense, I’d much rather see the players showcase their athleticism with some sick dunks, etc. And the Athletic Department should definitely bring back the Rock n’ Roll Anthem Part II to let the old traditions of Maryland carry on to the future Terrapins and fans. Either way, I’m excited for the Terps this year. Mosley looked solid, but I was a little unimpressed with J. Williams. Like I said though, it’s only Maryland Madness…thoughts? Go Terps!

and...

I make these comments based on some of the Midnight Madness clips I’ve seen from teams around the country. Comcast Center just doesn’t get as rowdy as some of the other programs like it should…damn I miss Cole.

Last year was phenomenal...

I’m a sophomore this year, and last year I was absolutely blown away. Players were introduced from the stands and ran down and dunked the ball. Each team had their own dance with special light effects and such. Gary came on the court in a frickin tank.

I think budget cuts for Maryland really brought down the event this year. It was incredibly ordinary, uneventful, and unentertaining.

That said, I agree that Mosley looked great. All the hype about his improvement seems to be for real…but then again, it is only MM. Dino also looked incredibly solid. If he’s developed any ounce of an offensive game, I expect him to contend for a starting spot.

Gary's voice

Was anyone else a bit uncomfortable listening to Gary’s voice??

by GoTerpsBaby on Oct 17, 2009 11:58 AM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, I was gonna mention that...

It looked like he had some major tears in his eyes during the speech. I was a little disturbed. Either he was incredibly touched by the memories of last year and being named among the top 10 teams of the decade, or he just received some really bad news back in the tunnel. Either way, I was definitely uncomfortable listening to him and watching him.

Combo of emotion and surgery

He did just get out of surgery, and they said it altered/weakend his voice.

And yeah, it was really weak this year. Direct result of budget cuts.
