Maryland Minute - 11.22.10 - Jordan Needs to Avoid Foul Trouble

Maryland Terrapins center Jordan Williams wants to avoid foul trouble

As well he needs to. -BB

My take - Nice overview piece on the Terps' trip to MSG and the lessons learned, including the extra attention Jordan now gets from officials.

Box Seats - Three days of heartbreak
Yup, that sums it up pretty well.

ACC basketball teams stumble early - Teel time - dailypress.com
Yeah, when you list MD's win over C of C as one of the conference's best to date, that's not good...

NCAA College Basketball Polls, College Basketball Rankings, NCAA Basketball Polls - ESPN
UNC loses to Vandy and Minnesota and they're STILL RANKED IN THE TOP 25! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR THESE POLLS?!? Almost ANY other team would have easily dropped out of the Top 25 this early after two losses to teams previously (and still) unranked. This is why I hate these rankings. I said UNC is severely overrated and I was right (so far). They lose two games in a row and it's like people keep voting for them because they think if they drop out of the Top 25, they'll look bad for voting for them pre-season. Good thinking, guys. Suck up your pride and admit you were wrong. Okay, rant over.

Abdul Gaddy, Reeves Nelson among 10 sophomore breakout candidates - Seth Davis - SI.com
Seth Davis doesn't list Jordan Williams as one of his breakout Sophomore candidates and he discusses why in the intro of the article, which I apparently missed. ~~Maybe that's because he did so well last year?~~ He does talk about how Mosley was one of his candidates last year and while he improved, he hardly "broke out".

Terps stand in the way for Pack - NC State - NewsObserver.com
I really hope we win Saturday. I don't like NC State that much when it comes to football.

Michigan State vs. Chaminade - Recap - November 22, 2010 - College Basketball - SI.com
Oh how I wish Chaminade could have pulled this one out. They were leading by as many as 8 in the 2nd half. It would have made that game against them hurt just a little less.

I want to win

Because it is on national tv for a change. 8-4. Nobody will remember the score of the Wake Forest and we can build on that next year. With DOB at Qb they might put the exciting TERPS on ESPN more often. ABC stinks with regional games. I’m thinking if Justin Lewis did not get hurt we win the Fla State game.

Nice shout out on the Post piece

This is the best Terps site. Period.

Heartbreak?

sorry but i think calling the b-ball games heartbreak is looking @ the glass half-empty or worse an overstatement. here’s the unranked terps with unproven leadership and a young frontcourt playing very well against two highly ranked teams on a huge stage in MSG that came up short. last season’s NCAA Tourney loss was heartbreaking.

i think the terps have some solid players for the future if jwill stays for 1 or 2 more years.

Seth Davis

Noted that Williams was not being considered because he was too obvious a choice for it to really be a “breakthrough”. It is in the intro to his article.

Seth Davis

did mention Jordan Williams…he said he didn’t want to include obvious ones like Jordan or some of the other super sophs

Fixed.

I definitely missed that. Dunno how. Thanks for catching it.

Mosley

Right now I think Mosley’s career has not yet been a dissapoint but it has been very unfufilling. Mainly cause he was such a great scorer in highschool, he reportedly tears it up in practice and some how that has not related to the college game consistently at all.
For some reason He just seems to have a lack of confidence on the court, it makes no sense at all.
