Like I said earlier today, this strikes me as a good timing game. That doesn't mean it'll be pretty, but it'll be useful.

Preview's here. Tip is at 2:00 on CSN for the locals, along with most eastern RSNs - check your local listings or affiliates here. Rich Waltz is on the play-by-play with the color commentary of ... Mike Gminiski. The G-Man. Oi.

Random, Baseless Prediction: There's a jump ball that should've been called a foul, the team on defense has the arrow, and goes down and knocks down a three-pointer to swing momentum. No, I'm calling which team it is, but I certainly hope it's Maryland.

Prediction: I'm sticking with my guns on this: it'll be ugly at times and Maryland won't play particularly well, but they'll win the game, probably by single digits. Terps 67, Wake Forest 59.

If not ... well, it'll be time to batten down the hatches.
