I meant to...
...get a Terp thread started!
I was excited as the year began because of Strawberry's getting to play his natural position instead of point.
I was excited to hear that Hayes and Vasquez should be good even as FR at the point.
I was excited for Gist, size inside, Ibekwe a leaper, and Mike Jones, 3 pointers, being experienced seniors, along with DJ.
Bowers brings some size and experience also a senior.
So, 7-0 before last night might be a bit surprising but, not if they are pretty darn good which last night, now 8-0 showed.
Also, now, having seen them, there is Osby bringing some decent play and serious size and muscle in the paint.
If some of the other young guys can contribute even a little and at least play intense defense and if older guys like Pharrish can give good minutes, this may be a real fun year!!!!!!
Vasquez is, so far, looking like a ACC first teamer. Unbelievable play last night!

I am an Illini fan, originally being from Illinois, so I wasn't happy to see the Terps win, however...
Maryland does appear to have a great team and the game was a good one. Vasquez sure is an awesome player? Dayum!
I too love to watch college hoops.

That makes you...
..a good person to ask;
How good are your guys expected to be this year? NCAA? Second round? Sweet 16?
Thanks!

Well after last nights loss to BC I am starting to think that it might be another one of those years for the Terps. Even though BC is a legit team. The ACC is full of legit teams. In the two losses this year the terps killing themselves with turnovers, stupid shots, defensive lapses. and if the Terps expect to be back in the dance they will have to play better, smarter basketball. Also, Ibekwe needs to realize he is a big man. He is supposed to play near the basketball, rebound, putbacks, etc. We do not need him dribbling, handling the basketball and taking long jumpshots (know your role)
sorry for the rant just am still made about the loss

Ok...
...BUT the Terps are a young team in several important aspects and also a vet team that is anxious to have a big year as they head for the door, so, getting off to a fast start shows them they CAN be good and losing to BC lets them look, now, at the reality; no one is going to give you one damn thing and you MUST bring it, every night, in order to excel.
So, all in all, not a bad loss and a good time for it, perhaps?

Terps looked good last night. Mike Jones was on fire finally knocking down shots. Albeit versus a average UMKC team. But these are the type of games we need to get the offense going and get people to start shooting the ball. I am lossing more and more respect for Ibekwe everytime i see him play, hope he turns it around. We need him.
GO TERPS!!!
GO TERPS!!!

Ok...
...I don't even know why a program like Maryland should be allowed to get away with playing a bunch of Kangaroo's. Looked good? I look good against my nephew. He's 13. And a foot shorter. And 150 pounds lighter.

Haha...that is true. But alot of programs now are scheduling a few cupcakes. Gary always schedules local area cupcakes (UMBC, American, Mt. St. Mary's, etc.) and smaller school cupcakes that he has ties too. And with more and more of his assistants getting head coaching jobs I am sure this will stay the same.

Didn't Maryland beat them by like 50 points or something?
I would hope they looked good. I'm a Terps fan and all, but they need to play against teams that are going to challenge them, UMKC could have saved a boatload of money by forfeiting the game, staying home, and letting UMD play a local high school team...
