Terps face tight turnaround between Duke, Va. games - Sun
The saving grace of Maryland's fast turnaround: no time to relect on Duke.

AccuScore Predicts Maryland Victory
Like KenPom on steriods. AccuScore has Maryland winning 81% of the time. Oh, and they'll shoot 45%. And Vaz will drop 18. Cool.

Looks Like Jerome Burney Isn't Gonna Happen
Sad. I had created a Super-Burney in my mind that would swoop in and provide a solid secondary inside presence. Apologize for the pessimism.

"He practices with us," Williams said. "He dressed the other day. I mean, he'd be eligible to play, you know, if it worked out that way. But it's probably not going to happen."

Duke-Maryland Quotes
Summed up in three words: Shame and degradation.

Maryland women rout Clemson, 71-51
BIG win for the Lady Terps. They're on the bubble, and every game is important now.

Roscoe Smith Has "Doubts" About Jim Calhoun
Is he at 80% yet?

Dixon's positive steroid test likely from supplement, wife says
Shedding a little light, even though it's no different from everything everyone else says:

The player "took an over-the-counter supplement and had no idea it had any type of steroid in it. It's not like he was injecting steroids," Robyn Dixon, his wife, said in an interview with the Baltimore Sun. Juan Dixon has remained in the Spanish city of Malaga and could not immediately be reached for comment.

I really, really hope this is true, but even if it isn't it's not like I'll ever think less of Juan. He'll always be one of my heros.

Made the weekly watch at least under games to watch for Monday against UVA. Tough game on Tuesday, VT vs Wake. I think we have to be rooting for VT in this one? What do you think? Still 2 games left against VT to shut them down, none against Wake, who will hold the tiebreaker. Big bounceback for Milbourne tomorrow. 17 points

Doxin case

His test result by the old club smell fishy to me. I’m a terps alum who live here in Europe. The way that he left his former team before joining Unicaja was bitter for them. They obviously was not happy. The test was done at the former team place and I would not be surprise if they purposely messed it up. I would highly recommend for him to have a second test by some independent professionnal lab if he has any doubt about it. Plus he could get more detail where it might have come from and have that supplement in question tested as well.
