0:00 - Here we go, the first game of the tourney. Not sure I like that but oh well, get over it. Terps need to get on this team early, limit them to one shot and take care of the ball. With the athletic edge across the board, just don't make mistakes. I wish the terps were playing against a more up tempo team but...18:00 - So far as expected, Terps are trying to push the tempo and they are

Sorry for the delay, life gets in the way at times...not much more to say for now other than either Miami has our number (eh, doubt it) or the Terps inconsistencies reared their ugly head again. For a run at the National Title, this isn't the worst thing as it brings expectations back to reality - heard waaaaaaay to many folks calling the Terps the main sleeper, even this years Florida - and

Nice article on ESPN.com talking about the Dukies we all love to hate; the link is below. My personal top 5:5- Quinn Snyder - Hey hair gel boy, nice coaching4 - Wojo. How the hell did that little white point guard win National Defensive Player of the Year. Oh that's right, he played at Duke3 - Duhon. A solid player but waaaaay overrated. The epitome of the hype was when during the NCAA tourney

If this season, if this senior class has a theme, it would be less is more. In their final home game, DJ, MJ and Ibekwe are the leading scorers, a fitting end to and up and down year. Going back to the start of the season, it seemed like this was going to be the class that put the Terps back on track after the debacle with Caner/Garrison class. Early on that was the case but then they hit a wall

As everyone continues to bask in the glory of back-to-back wins over UNC and Duke, the topic has turned to the NCAA's and where will the Terps be seeded. Bracketology boy Joe Lunardi has the Terps as a 4 seed right now. A lot will depend of course on how the final regular season game and ACC Tourney play out. I would say the ceiling, even with an ACC Tourney Title, is a 3 seed and the worst case

On a night where ESPN screwed the pooch in just showing us the game, it was the Terps that sent out a signal to those watching...Fear the Turtle.Truly cannot believe how far this team has come in just a few weeks. There was a passion and confidence exhibited from the Terps not seen since the ACC Tourney run in 03-04. From Jones making everything and Osby cleaning the glass in the first half, to

In addition to all things Terps, Dr. B is going to be posting more often as we lead up to the ACC and NCAA tourney, having been watching even more hoops than normal, all to help you and yours with your brackets.

Won't have much time after the game so thought I'd be productive during...20:00 - Don't have the game in HD for me; I waited for a while to get HD because I feared just this, that non-HD will cease to be reasonable. Hope I can see through this haze.Pre-Game thought - Even with a loss Terps still looking good for tourney, still amazed they are where they are. This game will be important for the

Lets all bow down to Yanik. He (naively I thought) showed the road map for the Terps to get to 8-8 and thus make the NCAA's and like most. I laughed. Not that it was horribly implausible because no team other than UNC at times looks unbeatable but the Terps were not showing any signs of life. The Seniors were looking like yet another disapointing class (and on many levels still do).Then Gist

its 11pm and sorry for the late post - was out watching the game and took a little while to get back. Here is my take and then I need to hear from the Dr. B fanatics on here and not in my inbox...A road ACC win in February, no matter the opponent, is huge and the Terps survive another day. Just a week or so ago I would have thought this would be another loss but that strong start against Duke

Let's get to the obvious - Bigger than Beyonce's backside. A loss today was the likely final nail no matter what the optimists said. Good pressure early caused umpteen offensive fouls that led to fast break baskets. Gist was solid again, Vasquez ran the spread effectively (way to much dribbling but when he went to the hoop he wasn't getting stopped) and DJ had some key plays on both ends. Cleary

Sigh. Dr. B is running out of things to say about this squad so he decided to go poet on you folks...The tip of the ballAnd the Terps start slowBefore you blink they are down tenMan do they blowMiss after missThe Cavs got the edge on the glassSeemed like the TerpsHad nothing but lead in their assBut give the terps creditThey made it a gameOf course where was the intensityWhen the first whistle

Ok, the good news is they had to win and they did. Wake is not very good this year and the Terps took advantage of that. Gist continues to shine and Vasquez flashes the style and game that should make him the leader of this team for a while. DJ and Ibekwe played as well as they had in some time. And yet...Not trying to focus on the negative but even with all that it almost seemed like the Terps

See ya Seniors - If the Terps were a pro team, it would be time to look at the youngsters and bench the so-called established players. The upper classmen have had 3-4 years to show their wares and the results are wanting. Three straight NIT's are looming and with the National Title and strong results in the not so distant future, this current situation seems even more bleak. Only Gist amongst

Was watching the Dukies try to give Clemson the game last night and watched that clock fiasco live. It seemed to me like the refs added too much time but since nobody seemed to bitch, neither the annoucers nor Purnell, figured I was wrong.

Obviously a big win, especially since they don't play GT again this year and couldn't possibly lose another home ACC game and drop to 1-5...Every time I looked up Gist was dropping in another easy score. Still would love to see some true post moves but certainly he still shows the ability to rise above the fray...Is it me or does this offense looks soooo much better when Hayes is running the

Gary, I think I speak for Many Terps fans out there when I say, whatever you do going forward, please stop bringing in the athletes who get by on their god-given talent and you don't relate too. The guys who will run through a wall to get better, like Dixon, Baxter, Nicholas and DJ, that should be your go-to style. When you won the title, you had one athlete type (Wilcox) surronded by a bunch of

You would think going over 90 on the road in regulation gets you a win. You would think that if three of your starters shoot at least 50% (and a fourth going 5-110 you get the win. You would think going 10-26 from 3 would be enough.The again, getting outrebounded by 17 and the other team makes 39 free throws is a kick in the short hairs. 4-12 on the road in the ACC over the last 2+ years. 1-3

Freekin ESPN U, what a crock. I can't justify spending even more $$$ to see what might be 3-5 games a year I care about. Waiting on a bootleg tape from Yanik or one of my other sources. With that said, listened to much of it on the radio and have spoken to those there...First of all, for this one game, the stars were alligned. Terps coming of an embarrasing home loss, Tigers coming in defeated

Comcast had no juice at the start tonight and the Terps did nothing to change that. A wretched performance the likes not seen in some time, not even sure the Caner class had such a zero of a performance.A strong start to the season followed by hiccups to ND and BC and then back to the basics with the cupcakes traipsing in. Heading into the full ACC season, dreams of a Final Four were still ways

Back from the break and going to Comcast tomorrow night to check out the Terps against the Canes. Will talk about it and the ACC ad nauseum tomorrow and beyond - beyond the win, looking for the Terps to get off to a quick start and put this team away, Gist and DJ take control early and often. So thought this would be a good time to share some random thoughts......Damn, the football Gators looked

Hey kids, sorry for the delay, Dr. B has been busy with last minute gifts, work and watching many, many games this weekend. Terps did what they needed to do, shook off the early rust and kept the Eagles at bay. DJ picked up the scoring slack. Gist's third straight double-double and I liked how he was active throughout. Ibekwe was solid, Vasquez made plays. The Jones benching, because of being

Yanik makes the point that things are quiet in Terp Board Land and I think a lot of folks stay quiet until ACC action starts and bowl games end. Plus you got the holidays and this stretch of weak games. I probably won't let back out until the Iona game in the new year. Was just looking at the schedule the rest of the way at the moment, things are breaking well for the Terps. 10-2 right now with

Well, Faison was just about on target, Dr. B was gutter bound last night if it wasn't for one of his minions taking him home last night. The plan was to go Bentley's for a little pre-game prep and then head on in. Alas, one of the boyz, a certain Dan Marino lover, posted late and before he arrived, the lemon drops were flowing.Needless to say, by the time we were ready to head in, the Terps were

Hoyas lose, Hoyas lose. Dr. B continues his tour of the local hoops scene and was courtside at the Hoyas-Ducks matchup last night (Dr. B has a varied hoops life outside of Terp Talk that requires him to lend his expertise to many but only the Terps get the love). While the Terps frosh are stepping in and playing at a high level, the baby Hoyas are struggling and combined with the passive play of

Another impressive win and another great showing by the Baby Terps and all without Ibekwe. The way Vasquez took over late was Dixon-esque and Hayes continues to do his Stevie Blake impression.

Sorry for the delay fans, Dr. B got hung up with Post-Turkey day activities after the High Point game. Hope everyone had a money holiday, chowed down and didn't piss off any relatives to the point that the cops had to come (I have an Aunt that could set me off but whenever she talked to me I...didn't listen)...Ok, Terps were bound to sleep through a half at some point and the 1st half on Friday

Heading out to Comcast again. Assuming this game is the laugher we all expect, today's scouting report will be on the more subtle things. I want to watch Mike Jones moving without the ball and see how he sets himself up for a 3. Will Ibekwe and Gist continue to play strong in the paint and at times show solid moves on the blocks? Will I find more food options out there than sorry hot dogs?Anyone

Really thought Winthrop would present more of a challenge, especially with the Terps coming off a great run and easily could be feeling high and mighty.

We talk alot on TerpTalk about how any one of these Maryland players could, with a simple choice, become great. Real Great. Instantly, just by choosing. Such is the nature of Will, and the body will always follow the Will.I have chosen to be great at something, and hounding a coach and 12 young kids who are trying their best is not that something. In fact, it is preventing us from that something.

HALFTIME REPORT:I spent much of the first half switching over to watch Field of Dreams on AMC. Why? Don't know. Mabey because it's a well choriographed piece of art, which is in direct opposition to the Terps game. Mabey. I'm really not sure, but it's true.

It's only the second week of the season. We're better prepared for the ACC. I just saved a bunch on my car insurance by switching to Geico.Just kidding. My driver pays for his own insurance. State Farm, I think.

[preseason anal-ysis: yanik mguaua: 11/04]There are 3 reasons to think the Terps are going to suck this year. I'm not going to talk about any of them, but I can tell you that one of them ends in "arrison" and another can be linked to an unknown controversy surrounding the effects of turkey bacon.I figure if you are a Terp fan, you have them either sucking outright or going to the Sweet Sixteen.
