Do we learn from yesterday's disaster and pick up a nice road W or do they salivate while watching tape of the johnnies destroy us and take us to the woodshed again?

This is a big watershed moment for this year's team in my opinion. We simply can not afford to let the terps get us shell-shocked again (pun intended). I have no doubt that this sort of concern will be a point of conversation for the next couple of days.
We also need some schematic adjustments in my opinion. The defensive shortcomings, of course, were obvious yesterday. But I have also been saying for several weeks now that even though he's putting up spectacular individual numbers, I really am not sure that Nolan makes the rest of the team around him better (the hallmark of the best point guards). This team simply has to begin making a more concerted effort to create offense in the half-court, rather than simply whipping the ball around and looking for jump shot after jump shot. I don't care how open those looks might typically be, or how many good shooters we might have; that is a deficient manner in which to try and construct a total offensive system.

The Team and Staff leave this afternoon (Tuesday) headed to Twerpville, Maryland.

Bob Harris said last night on the Live Radio Show, he was taking his Hard hat with him. The announcers, sit right beside the bench.

I hope the students are not wearing teeshirts with vulgar words on them. MD students are the worse!!

I got a bad feeling about tonight's game. Nothing really more to say than that. It's a revenge game for Md., we are playing like parrot turds, and well, I just don't like it.

I really hope I'm wrong.
