I salivate at the idea of Leslie being on this team next year. Although I’m not sure how likely it is we get 6 recruits in one class, it would be awesome. Has anyone ever seen him shoot a jumper? I understand dunks are what drive the highlight reels, but does he even have a game beyond 5 feet from the rim?

turner is a point guard this year. last year he played power forward. and he is great! he’ll probably go number one or two in the nba draft.

It’s a good site, but I still don’t buy that we aren’t deserving of a 4 seed at this point. Looking at their 3s and 4s, IMO:

-we’re probably not going to pass Wisconsin b/c of the head to head loss, and WV is pretty much a lock for a top 3.

-we have a better overall profile than New Mexico or Pitt, IMO, but b/c of NM’s winning streak and Pitt’s excellent BE record I think it unlikely that we pass either

-Vanderbilt, Temple, and Mich. St. would probably need to lose at least one more game for us to have a chance to pass them, but all are somewhat vulnerable IMO

-I would argue that we are CLEARLY a better team than Tennessee right now, regardless of what happens the rest of the way. Unless they win the SEC tournament, I don’t see any justification for giving them a Top 4 seed

So IMO we should be the last 4 seed right now, with a chance to move up depending on what happens. Definitely need a W today to solidify our status…

I don’t see any of the 11’s or 3’s giving the Terps any trouble whatsoever, though a potential 4/5 game beatdown of Georgetown in the second round would be the icing on the cake after kicking Duke in the junk. I could see the NCAA putting that together b/c that sorta stuff seems to magicly appear every year.

The Duke game is a great example of how much we’re improving. Bilas said at halftime that we had squandered our first-half lead and missed an opportunity to beat a really good team. I think Bilas tries to be objective, but he clearly didn’t recognize how much we’ve improved and how evenly matched the teams are right now. So, that brings up another question about seeding. How can Duke be a 1 while we are a 5? Duke is 6-5 away from Cameron and showed some important weaknesses in the game with us. Unlike past Duke teams, they are not good in transition. They have a half-court game but they don’t play an uptempo game very well at all. We took advantage of it. They had no answer for Adrian or even Greivis when he pushed the ball up the floor. I know our our rebounding is still an issue but we’ve shown we can win different ways. This team has a lot of upside.
