Less than an hour till the Terps take on their first real test of the season. Can the two freshmen battle with some legit Division 1 bigs? Will Greivis step up against better competition? We'll find out soon enough. The real season starts in an hour.
Deuce Bello Posterizes a 7-Footer
To quote the YouTube commenter, "SWEET JESUS OF NAZARETH". Yeah, I will be heartbroken when he goes elsewhere, even if we have no shot at all. - Ben B.
My Take: This is a must watch.
Box Score from Chaminade Game
The two lines that stand out the most are Sean Mosley's 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists, and JWill's near double-double with 9 points and 10 rebounds. I know it was against a DII school but performances like these make me think we can be pretty darn good next year, too.
Terps -2.5 vs. Cincy Tonight

Expect Turnovers in CP Saturday - Dinich
Well, thanks for the news-flash.
"It can’t get much worse, can it? BC quarterback Dave Shinskie threw four interceptions last week against North Carolina, including one that was returned for a touchdown and another that came back to the BC 1-yard line. He also had a fumble returned for a touchdown. Overall, the Eagles had six turnovers. And Maryland made three interceptions last week at Florida State."
A turnover filled game would be a fitting way to end the season.
Hey but at least she's picking us to win...
21 - 17.
"If the Terps were going to give up this year, they would’ve done it long before the last play of the fourth quarter at Florida State last week. Boston College is turning the ball over at an alarming rate, and got fortunate with its road win over Virginia. I say the Terps win one for the Fridge on Senior Day."
Decent point by Dinich and one that we really haven't touched on. At least our guys haven't given up.

Would be an amazing get at this point, actually. Good, smart DE.
