The Chol Marial era begins tonight vs Seton Hall. He’s been activated. I doubt he’ll play significant minutes but it is exciting that he’s suiting up. 7’2” center could be a game changer for Maryland if he can become a contributor. He’d make an already stout defense into one of the best in the country. For Seton Hall’s part, they’ll likely be wi [...] Read More »
Maryland escaped with a win vs Illinois on Saturday. If we are being honest, the Terps should have lost and the late game HEROICS from Ant Cowan are the only reason they are still undefeated. The Terps reverted back to their trend of hideous late and sluggish starts. Illinois ran out to a double digit lead and It took 11-1 run to end the game for M [...] Read More »
The Terps are off to their best start in a generation and are comfortably situated at the top of the rankings. The defense, rebounding, ball security have been stellar.

The Terps have a chance to win one of these early preseason mini tournaments today. This field should have been a walk in the park but it has not played out that way.

They have one of the best players in the c [...] Read More »
The Terps take o. The Ivy League this morning in what should be an easy win. Harvard beat Texas A&M going away but Maryland’s athletes should be able to handle the Crimson. Temple gave the Terps all they could handle so I’m guess Turgeon will have the boys ready. [...] Read More »

Ant Cowan has 28 assists to 7 turnovers which [...] Read More »
