Big game, Maryland is solid and it's a tough place to play. Glad we have a longer layoff than they do to rest after our emotial win.

Right now we're on pace to go undefeated in conference play...

1/13/2013 10:02:58 PM

Maryland is solid? You must have been doing something else the last 2 hours, because they're not a good team

yep, and once we get our win streak up to about 20 games we'll finally be off the bubble and become a very good team

Okay well if we score 84 there is no way we lose to Maryland. Hell even if they scored what they did tonight and we have our worst offensive performance of the year we win. That being said, we are ranked and will probably be top 15. That place is hard to play and I could see us losing in the last minute and a nasty nasty chant going. If we HOWEVER win this game I can see us getting to 6-0 before losing to UNC. Yes I am serious, I still think we have that UNC monkey crap. =(

Just how many genders were there Stevie?

Len is good but UMD doesnt do a good job of getting him the ball.

UMD's SOS is 277th

I say we win a close one 78-74

Time to show we can handle success.

1/14/2013 9:04:28 AM

Hopefully TBDV gets more playing time this game, we need to expand our roster for going deeper into the season. Can't just play the 6 man rotation all the time, going to bite us in the ass eventually

1/14/2013 9:08:30 AM

We play 7. And Vandy really doesn't need playing time. We can rotate with the top seven and buy minutes and play Vandy in easier games (Clemson, Wake, etc).

He is terrible and we can't afford to give him minutes in close games against quality competition.

1/14/2013 9:15:48 AM

Use our RPI rating:

#11

BTW, we now have wins over #s 1 and 15. Nice to not have to worry about quality wins later in the season for a change.

First face predicts we lose 7 conference games, then we beat Duke, and he's saying 0. And he wonders why people don't take him seriously.

a million times this

PACK by 30

we need to start something new for this game. everybody dont just start jumping up and down before the game, do a chant with it.

like...we start jumping and then along with it go "ooooooooooooo" and get louder like "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" and then switch to "PACK! PACK! PACK! PACK! OOOOOO PACK! PACK! PACK! PACK! OOOOOOOOOOOO! POWER PACK! POWER PACK! BACK THE PACK!" and then play a loud rockin rap song or somethin. i think it would get things crazy.

1/14/2013 11:35:31 AM

Lewis barely counts as #7. He played all of 30 seconds against Duke.

Maybe not TBDV (I just want him to be a big playable goon) but it would be great to get someone else to step up. Maybe put Lewis in more in these easier games to get him experience.

1/14/2013 11:43:22 AM

big playable goons are great when they add value to your team, but he literally adds nothing

he is a disgrace on both ends of the floor

1/14/2013 11:49:08 AM

Lewis was so close to making a great play against Duke, he just completely missed Purvis on the break. I don't mind that he gives up easy buckets on defense, hell our starters do that. If he could just start contributing something offensively when he gets in the game, he can hold serve while Brown gets a blow. At least he doesn't turn the ball over.

And yeah, TBDV is useless. You can tell just by looking at him that he doesn't give a damn.

1/14/2013 11:50:20 AM

I'm comfortable with Lewis playing about 5 or 6 minutes a game, but that means Zo is probably going to lead the ACC in minutes which he can probably handle.

I'm much more concerned with our lack of interior depth. If we could get away with 10 minutes from Vandy and TDT we'd be fine, but there's virtually no chance of that happening which really limits how aggressive we can be in our interior defense.

1/14/2013 11:50:51 AM

Well, since TDT is no longer on the team I agree there is virtually no chance of that happening.

[Edited on January 14, 2013 at 12:01 PM. Reason : i]

1/14/2013 12:01:15 PM

uh, yeah, he's been gone since late november man.

Any guesses on our AP ranking after the Duke win?

Ahh shit, I forgot about that. Color me stupid(er).

1/14/2013 12:23:53 PM

Somewhere between #10 - #14

Seth Davis voted us #16 with his AP vote

1/14/2013 12:35:05 PM

I, too, am scared of this game. Though I'd be more scared if it were one of the bottom teams in the league--UMD is mid-pack. Playing a bottom feeder after beating #1 is a sure recipe for NC State Shit, but I think the players won't let the high keep them from preparing here. I hope.
