Maryland basketball looks to bounce back at home versus Michigan

Terps will look to snap a 2-game losing skid tonight when they host a struggling (and undermanned) Michigan team. The Wolverines will be without starting PG and leading scorer Dug McDaniel. The DMV native will be serving a the first of a 6-game road suspension tonight. Meanwhile, the Terps are just looking to show improvement as tonight marks the halfway point of the season. More, including video of Willard pregame presser, at the link below.

FAKE FUNNY

Happy Michigan fan I know well was only too proud to show me what he bought and how prominent MD was in it.

i took one look and told him I thought that the only thing more fake than supposedly having fair referees Monday night, is the BS conjured up below.


Right in the center they use a grey MD helmet never used according to my memory and the below

The Haves

"Champions Circle, a Michigan Name, Image, Likeness collective, launched a “Those Who Stay” NIL campaign last week as an effort to entice players to return in 2024. It has raised more than $600,000 so far, and time will tell whether that is enough to lure talent back to Ann Arbor."

Last year KW exceeded expectations. Started 8-0; a rebound aways from a 2nd place BIG finish and a ticket to the Dance with one win. This year started season barely outside Top 25 and projected third place BIG finish. Almost half the season is over and things look VERY bleak and beyond repair. It seems that most non-blue blood teams (who cannot recruit at that high level) are doing well as a result of using the portal with seasoned veterans not mid-ranked-high schoolers. I hope and quite frankly expect that KW has learned his lesson and will aggressively hit the portal in the offseason for a roster overhaul provided we raise enough NIL money to give him the flexibility and cash to do so. I hope he targets some 3 point snipers because they truly impact the game. Finally, I also believe we tend to minizine losing 3 assistants in one year as to what that does to a program from a coaching and recruiting standpoint.

Locksley Named to Prestigious Washingtonias of the Year List for 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Maryland football head coach Michael Locksley has been named to the prestigious Washingtonians of the Year List for 2023 and will be recognized, along with nine others who are making a difference in the area, at a luncheon on Wednesday.

Washingtonian magazine has put this list out for 52 years, honoring 10 local heroes each year who are using their experience, smarts, and creativity to make the this region a better place to live.

Joining Locksley on the 2023 Washingtonian of the Year list is: Darius Baxter (Founder and CEO, GOODProjects), Deb Gottesman (Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director, The Theatre Lab), Monty Hoffman (Founder and Chairman, Hoffman Associates), Mirah Horowitz (Founder and CEO, Lucky Dog Animal Rescue), Nicole Lynn Lewis(Founder and CEO, Generation Hope), Alan Meltzer, (CEO, NFP/The Meltzer Group), Richard Reyes-Gavilan (Executive Director, DC Public Library), Tom Wilson (Professional Hockey Player, Washington Capitals), Shawn Yancy (Anchor at New4, Founder of Girls Night Out).

"Like previous Washingtonians of the Year, this year’s honorees are doing incredible work to help those in our community—and to help the city itself—succeed,” says Washingtonian editor Sherri Dalphonse. “This annual article is a reminder that one person really can make a difference."

Locksley was voted onto the Board of Directors for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington in the summer of 2021. Locksley, who grew up in Washington, D.C., was a Boys & Girls club kid when he was a youth and his goal is to make an impact with kids in that community. After winning the 2022 Duke's Mayo Bowl, Locksley had mayonnaise dumped on his head and as part of that annual bowl tradition, he was afforded the opportunity to give $10,000 to a charity of his choosing. He selected the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington.

Locksley also founded the National Coalition of Minority Football Coaches (NCMFC) in 2020 with the goal of preparing, promoting, and producing minority coaches at all levels of football (professional, collegiate, scholastic, and recreational). Through unmatched professional training and educational programs, the NCMFC prepares its coaches for greater success. The NCMFC serves as a sounding board, a resource and an ally for all who desire meaningful diversity and inclusion in coaching by identifying minority-coaching candidates who are capable of producing on the field or in the booth.

Locksley is also a big proponent of mental health awareness. He dedicates one Maryland game each year as a "Mental Health Awareness" game. The football program works with its campus partners and the media to promote awareness of those dealing with mental health issues.

Washingtonian will honor its 2023 Washingtonians of the Year with a luncheon, sponsored by Deloitte and PNC, from 11:30 am-1:30 pm on January 10 at The Willard Intercontinental.

***Purdue Game Thread***

We're about a half hour from tipoff between the Terps and Boilermakers in College Park.

Huge opportunity for the Terps tonight as they look to upset Zach Edey and No. 1 Purdue in College Park for a second straight season. It isn't going to be easy though, as Edey is putting up even bigger numbers this season than last and Purdue's sophomore guards are really shooting the ball much better than they did a year ago.

Jahmir is back after missing the Coppin game due to the flu. He was named B1G Player of the Week earlier today for his play vs. Nicholls and UCLA.
