Some observations of a Big TIme Game in Downtown DC:
Sean Mosley was beyond incredible tonight, unleashing an outside shooting performance for the Terps that rivals any in memory. sean was 11-14 from the field with 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 2 steals. Mr Baltimore is the real deal!!!!
Jordan Williams scored 19 points and had 12 rebounds against one of the best teams in College basketball. He is rapidly learning the college game. Remember this was only … Read More »
Jay Wright said it best–that Gary seems to have his team prepared early maybe better thenn anyone in the country. The problem is how does Maryland slow down the Nova guards. Only be dominating the boards. Everyone must rebound on Sunday. Control the boards, Greivis has a big game, Eric hits 2 or 3 long range 3s–Maryland can win. I can’t wait for this one. Also this is the last game the Terps play without Dino.
Maryland size wise matches up against Nova. The Wildcat’s guards are Scottie Reynolds 6’2″, Corey Fisher 6’1″ and Corey Stokes 6’5″. They have a freshman g 6-1 Maalik Wayns and freshman g Dominic Cheek who is 6-6. Upfront freshman Isaiah Armwood is 6-7, Antonio Pena is about 6-8 and he’s their best rebounder, Tylor King, a transfer from Duke is 6’6″ and Maurice Sutton is a freshman who is 6-11. In general Maryland’s guards are bigger though Nova’s guards are much … Read More »
Coach Williams varied evrything last night—he barely used the full court press, went with a 4 guard offense to change the tempo of the game, used an old fashioned 1-2-2 zone that really confused Indiana, and used Jin Soo extensively off the bench in lieu of Cliff Tucker and Steve Goins.
What did Coach Crean mean when he said he was upset because it was a winnable game?
In the last 7 minutes the Terps ran the flex to perfection.
It’s old —it’s different—it’s historic—-but let me tell you ITS ELECTRIC here. I don’t care how down the program is at IU this will be a tough game to win.!!!!! Watch out for Freshman Maurice Creek, Jeremiah Rivers and Tom Pritchard. We will need a great game from Greivis to win this one!!!
I don’t care how down the IU program is, winning in Bloomington is extemely difficult. IU is pointing to Maryland as one of its biggest games all year. I am traveling to Bloomington tonight to watch the game. I will either be blogging on terptalk.com or twittering . Indiana is led by freshman guard Maurice Creek who in the game I watched put on a stellar performance. I look for Greivis to have a big game tonight as the Terps … Read More »
—Jordan Williams and James Padgett have been inserted into the Terrapin lineup and play a crucial roll. However Gary has been forced to do this becase of the injury to Steve Goins, Jin Soo Choi. Jin Soo came to Maryland with a history of a great 3 point shot. When Dino comes back–he will inject the hopps and his mid range jumper. But more important he will handle of a ton of pressure that comes with the territory. This kid will help big … Read More »
In the NBA Greivis Vasquez might be a point guard but on the Maryland Terrapins the team could be better off if Eric returns to do the bulk of the work at PG.The offense just seems out of sync. Perhaps shot selection would imrove. Look–it’s early and lets hope a big upgrade to the team will be the return of Dino Gregory next Saturday.
Maryland Head Coach Gary Williams
“Cincinnati has a nice combination of guards that can dribble penetrate and then they have the ability to throw the ball inside.”
“We can’t play that way in the first half. I was pleased in the second half when we didn’t fold. I think our players will be ready to play tomorrow.” “There aren’t many centers in the country that are as big and as quick as Gates. It looks like they’re very comfortable … Read More »
