Getcha Popcorn Ready: Born Ready-Maryland Matchup Set for Second Round of Maui

PrintI'm no fan of Terrell Owens, but I'm not afraid of using his catchphrases. Cincinnati upset Vanderbilt today in the first round of the Maui Invitational, winning relatively easily, 67-58. Cincy will go up against Maryland tomorrow barring a massive upset in the first round by Chaminade (they can do it, but it would be surprising).
Former Maryland fling Lance Stephenson ended up at Cincinnati after Maryland pulled his scholarship back in the spring. Now Born Ready is back for revenge.
Anyone else psyched? I know it was us that pulled the plug on Lance, not the other way around, but Lance dominated a recruitment that was shadily-run and questionable at best. If you've forgotten, just check out the tag for him. The thing lasted forever. It's unnatural to not really like him after the way he handled everything.
Born Ready hasn't been a huge cog in the Cincinnati machine - he put up just 8 points today on 4-10 shooting - but there are two possible outcomes tomorrow: either he drops 50 in a revenge game, or completely takes his team out of the game with tons of bad shots while trying to get revenge.
Either way, we have a game tomorrow that is much more interesting than Maryland-Vandy, the likely matchup. Both sides are looking for something here. It'll be fun.

Can't say I'd be dissapointed
If Mosley gave him a taste of Baltimore. Coney Island is a paradise compared to Bodymore.
(okay, maybe not, but Mosley is harder and better than Lance in every facet of the game).
Cincy
Not sure if anyone else watched this game, but I caught most of the second half and it was sloppy to say the least. Lance Stephenson tries to force up a shot/drive to the hoop most of the time he gets it (although he did have a couple nice finishes), and the rest of the team looked just as unorganized. They do have some size and athleticism, but I’d be surprised to see this team outperform Gary’s X’s and O’s…Terps should win easily!
