Terps To Entertain Carolina

Surely, today's game at Comcast is the last chance the Terps have to get a signature win. The road in the ACC has proven quite treacherous for the Terps and I expect it will continue to be.  Comcast, on the other hand, has seen the best of what the Terps have to offer.  If we discount the early season under manned loss to Illinois; the Terps have only fallen at home to Duke. 

Why can't the Terps give UNC a game?  They can.  The Terps have played with everyone this year.  They've just lacked the crunch time poise that is required to win close games.  It's always something with them.  Whether it be turnovers or free throw shooting, the Terps falter down the stretch.

Mark Turgeon will host one of his mentors, Roy Williams, today.  Much will be made of that, but I could care less.  Turge wants a W and so do I.  No one expected the Terps to contend this year and they aren't; but a win today and the Terps would regain some momentum and can continue to believe in a postseason berth.

Will it happen?  Doubtful, but the Terps have played well against Carolina recently, so anything is possible.

Refs Steal Game Away From Terps

 OK.  The headline belies reality somewhat.  Terps squandered chances in the second OT but I don't care.  You've got two teams who played their heart out and the referees were not up to the challenge of the moment. The second OT opened with a clear and blatant offensive goaltending call yet the whistle did not blow.  That call alone changed the [...] Read More »

Miami Q&A and Game Thread

 I'm reprising the oft-used blogger Q&A exchange for the Terps upcoming tilt in Miami tomorrow.  The good folks at the excellently-named Category6 have asked me a few questions about our Terps and I've returned the favor by asking them a few of my own about the Hurricanes.  We'll start with my questions to them and end with my answers to their quer [...] Read More »

Terps Host Virginia Tech

 The Terps have just finished a brutal three-game stretch and came up empty handed.  Not a pelt to speak of.  There were some encouraging moments and some discouraging ones.  Terps hung in against FSU, Temple, and Duke.  In fact, most of those games were close to even with 10 minutes left to play. The Terps collapsed each time.  In my view, [...] Read More »

DUKE Q&A and Game Thread

 This is the least emotionally ready that I have been for a Maryland-Duke that I've been in years.  I have an emotional hangover from the brutal stomach-punch loss my Ravens took on Sunday plus I'm frustrated with the Terps recent play.  The Temple game left me deflated.  So, I'm trying something a little different.  The folks at Crazie-Talk as [...] Read More »

Gary Reflects

Courtesy of the Washington Post, I thought I would reprint an except of a recent Gary Williams radio interview.  There is more on the Post's website, but I thought his reflection on the Michigan State loss in 2010 was pretty interesting! “A lot of teams lose during the year, but you can’t lose during the tournament,” Williams said. The last o [...] Read More »

Terps Come Up Short, Again

For me, yesterday's loss at the hands of an eminently beatable Temple squad was the first truly frustrating loss of the season. Sure, I've been disappointed with other losses this year, but I always felt the other team was simply the better one and the Terps were learning on the job, so at least the loss was productive Yesterday was different.  It [...] Read More »

Terps Step Out Of ACC For Big Opportunity Against Temple

 I just commuted home from Mexico and landed in a Chicago snowstorm during rush hour.  I'm spent. The good news is that I don't have to play tomorrow at 11am. Our Terps however, do and will.  The Owls present a stiff test as they always seem to.  Already, Temple has knocked off Duke this year, so the Terps are going to be big road underdogs.  [...] Read More »

Terps Hit The Road - FSU Thread

Come on! We only had 2 days to enjoy the latest win?  I wish we could have enjoyed it a bit longer, but the schedule is the schedule. Tonight is a big one.  Clearly not a must-win, but a win would definitely open some eyes.  It could go one of two ways.  Either FSU is flying high off of their whooping of UNC and thinking they are soooo good, [...] Read More »

Mosley, Defense Beat Jackets

This game could not have started any uglier... but in the end, heck, I wouldn't have kicked it out of my bed! Sean Mosley has gotten a lot of flack on this site and others over the years, but everyone who watched their win over Georgia Tech can say just what Jackets coach Brian Gregory said after this one:  "He flat out won them that game." E [...] Read More »
