Up 15 at the half, up 9 with 2 or so to go from what I saw, at an unimpressive Michigan, they lose in OT.

Scored 21 in 3rd/4th quarters combined.

We’re about 15 minutes from tip-off between the Terps and Hawkeyes out in Iowa City.

Terps will look to get a second conference road win as they look for more help scoring the ball beyond Jahmir, JuJu and Donta.

I know this is KWs second season but how could we be this bad? The roster composition is beyond awful.Martineez gone as well as Hart. Absolutely no depth. How could he have missed that? In the meantime looks like we are going to waste a great year by a wonderful player who decided to stay. I hope I am wrong.
Shouldn't there be some accountability here? Assume KW has the last say in terms of talent evaluation.
Hoping for better days and seasons ahead.

3 out of the 4 playoff teams from this year will have new coaches, wow

Heading into Terps game Wednesday at Iowa. He is just 2nd B1G player since 1996-97 to average over 30 ppg in a 4-game road span, joining Carsen Edwards of Purdue from 2018-19. Only Dalton Knecht of Tennessee has done the same this season.

Side note: Jahmir has made his last 23 fts, his 2nd streak this season of 20+ consecutive free throws made. He previously converted 39 fts in a row from Dec 1 thru Dec 22 falling 1 shy of tying Juan Dixon’s school record of 40. The 39 fts in a row is 2nd in program history.

For the East team with 2 of his Montverde teammates (C. Flagg and McNeeley) Game is April 2nd from Toyota Center in Houston on ESPN.

Started at 4 1/2

We could use this kind of help

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland Athletics continues to upgrade its facilities and enhance the fan experience as the department announced on Tuesday plans to unveil a new XFINITY Center videoboard and sound system for the 2024-25 season. The new Daktronics videoboard will be a 400 percent increase in size and pixel quality compared to the current board at XFINITY Center.

“Upgrading our venues with a focus on student-athlete and fan experience continues to be a top priority for us at the University of Maryland,” said Damon Evans, the Barry P. Gossett Director of Athletics. “In unveiling this massive new state-of-the-art videoboard and high-tech sound system at XFINITY Center, Maryland Athletics continues to be on the cutting edge with the best technology in the nation. We continue to invest in our programs demonstrating that Maryland Athletics is leading boldly with the newest innovations and this videoboard at XFINITY Center will be the one of the best in the nation, a showpiece we can all be proud of.”

The new centerhung videoboard at XFINITY Center will be a revolutionary replacement for the decade-old sub-high definition board, which had been in place since 2014. The new four-sided display measures 92 feet all the way around by 20 feet tall and promises an immersive experience for all arena spectators. The expanded canvas allows for greater flexibility when displaying in-game statistics, and more in-depth personal player stats, providing fans with comprehensive insights during every game. Boasting near 8K HDR quality, the main display, along with four underbelly displays, will create a visually stunning atmosphere. The surface display size of the new centerhung is 72 percent larger and removes all obstructed viewing angles of the previous board.

The advanced board, with dimensions of 7,800 pixels wide by 1,470 pixels high, offers flexibility in presenting a continuous image wrapped around or segmented into various layouts. This versatility caters to the diverse range of shows and sports events hosted in the main arena, elevating the overall entertainment experience.The new centerhung is most similar to displays at professional sports venues UBS Arena in New York, State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Toyota Center in Houston and FedEx Forum in Memphis.

In tandem with the centerhung videoboard, XFINITY Center is set to install an industry-standard premium sound system by L'Acoustics. This system replaces the original sound system for the facility, which has been in place since it opened in 2002. With 106 Line Array speakers and 48 18-foot subwoofers, this system ensures top-notch audio quality, endorsed by marquee arenas in the United States. Tailored for basketball games, Olympic sports, and special events, the L'Acoustics sound system completes the XFINITY Center's commitment to delivering a premium and immersive entertainment experience.

The unveiling of the plans for the new videoboard and sound system at XFINITY Center continue Maryland Athletics’ commitment to upgrades with its venues and facilities. Since June of 2021, the following enhancements have taken place under Evans:

• Opening of Jones-Hill House, home of Maryland Football
• Construction of new state-of-the-art 1080p HDR videoboard and upgraded audio system at SECU Stadium
• Installation of new LED state-of-the-art lighting systems at SECU Stadium, Bob Turtle Smith Stadium and the Maryland Softball Stadium
• Construction of a new broadcast operation center inside XFINITY Center, handling all non-linear and in-venue entertainment
• Renovation and reopening of Gossett Hall, housing the Gossett Student-Athlete Center for Academic and Personal Excellence
• Opening of Maryland Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex
• Addition of new videoboard at Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex
• Breaking ground on the Barry P. Gossett Basketball Performance Center
• Resurfacing of the Kehoe Track & Field track
• Preparation for the groundbreaking on new Baseball and Softball player development centers
• Announcement of partnership with Legends and construction of hospitality and membership club, the Maryland Club at XFINITY Center

Lefty could recruit and said he could coach and Gary could coach. They seem like a good pair to put their heads together and find a UM guy for UM. Just sayin…

Unfortunately, Lefty will not be in the building this afternoon when they honor the HOF coach. Obviously, at 92, travel isn't as easy for him as I'm sure it once was. Still, his presence will certainly be with everyone in Xfinity with the 70's throwback unis during a big game on national tv.

Huge opportunity this afternoon to get a big win in front of a national TV audience on CBS.

This game has the feel of an upset in the making with the throwback 70s uniforms and honoring Lefty.

As far as the matchup itself goes, the big matchup to watch is Tyson Walker and Jahmir Young. Walker is taller with much better length, but Young has been on an absolute tear of late. Terps just need to get ANYTHING from the bench today to have a decent chance at winning.

Should be a fun one.

Kevin Willard labels 2023 newcomers the 'best freshman class I've ever had'​

"Yeah, our freshman class is the best freshman class I’ve ever had. DeShawn Harris-Smith is by far the most talented player, probably the most physically gifted basketball player I’ve ever been able to coach so far. Jamie Kaiser was a former quarterback and played football. So they’ve been able to come in with Jordan and really kind of embrace how we want to play at the level we want to play at. It’s been, like I said, practices have been unbelievable. We can’t go that long because they’re so competitive, they’re so physical. We look like a Big Ten team, where last year we had to really fight to be a Big Ten team. This year we look like a Big Ten team, and I think we can compete a little bit higher level because of that.”


So, DHS, Kaiser, and throw in Geronimo were a combined:

2-15 from the field, 0-8 from 3, 6 TOs, 1 assist (did get 10 boards) in 67 minutes​

For 2024, so far, we have another non-offensive threat as a non top-100 commit and a Queen dream.

Who is going to score the ball next year?

The Texans seem to be the sexy pick for pulling off the upset today. Ravens 9.5 pt favorites. Even if you're not a Ravens fan, love to see some predictions.

I have it Ravens 37-20
