The thrill is in the air at Comcast. This is a genuinely entertaining tam to watch. Tonight after getting off to a slow start, Eric Hayes caught fire scoring 7 points in a minute and the Terps never looked back. Once again Baltimore’s Sean Mosley had a terrific all around game–stealing the ball, passing rebounding and scoring. This kid has arrived. The 2 freshman who seem to be splitting one of the big men positions combined for 12 points and … Read More »
Great Opener–Great Crowd–Let’s Analyze
Jordan Williams–STRONG presence–when his hands get on the ball he doesn’t let go–scored inside easily–great effort by the Freshman
James Padgett—again super inside moves and moves well without the ball–10 points 8 bds 2 blocks–19 minutes
Eric Hayes—weak in the 1st half–great in the 2nd–when he hits the 3, the Terps get on a roll
Greivis–13 assists–“I’m a point guard.–a true leader”
Landon Milbourne—gets better and better as the 4—really a tough guy–16 pts and 7 … Read More »
First things first–this was only an exhibition game but Gary’s teams always play at a frenetic pace. Tonight was no exception. Some comments on the game.
The 2 Freshmen turned in excellent performances after shaking away 1st game jitters. James Padgett was 4-5 from the field and had 4 rebounds in 22 minutes of action. His inside moves are excellent. Jordan Williams is a physical force and will undoubtedly see more time as the year goes on. Jordan finished with … Read More »
For many faithful Maryland followers the start of the basketball season can’t come fast enough considering the so far disappointing campaign the football team is having. The Terps have been ranked in the pre-season top 25 by several publications. What can we look forward to and what questions need to be answered. Terp fans are anxiously looking forward to seeing freshman Jordan Williams, a 6-10 center from Connecticut and 6-8 forward-center James Padgett from New York. Can either or both … Read More »
I think Maryland needs to follow a similar blueprint that got them to the final 4 in 2002. 4 man big man rotation. Padgett, Williams, Goins, and Gregory. Padgett and Williams will be a tremendous upgrade from Braxton Dupree. I don’t think you can expect Williams and Padgett to do a lot offensively particularly early in the season, but they need to play defense, rebound on both ends, alter some shots, block some shots and be able to catch the ball down … Read More »
“This year we played North Carolina at our place and it was one of the greatest games I’ve ever been involved in. Because we won. But it was a game where we were probably like a 12-point underdog or something like that, and one of the things I do as a coach is it starts at about 12 o’clock, you start getting nervous for an 8 o’clock game, and coaches are control freaks for the most part, so you’d like … Read More »
The Wolfpack hung around tonight but Greivis Vasquez refused to let his team falter, scoring 33 points and running a near flawless court game while leading the Terps to a 71-60 road victory over NC State. Dave Neal reminded his team at halftime the urgent need for a road win in the ACC and finished with 11 points and 8 rebounds. The Terps are now 7-7 in conference play and the general consensus is that 8-8 will get the Terrapins … Read More »
The old Greivis Vasquez returned to the court last night in Atlanta, leading the Teps to a 57-56 victory over the now 1-8 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Greivis scored 19 points with 3 assists and 3 steals. he led the team in a unifying unselfish way as said he would Saturday when I had a chance to speak with him greivis-on-his-role5 Some of my observations of the victory.
Can someone besides me give Dino Gregory a little credit. He … Read More »
Please don’t anyone tell me Roy Williams is a great coach. How is it possible that he ever loses with that talent. Wayne Ellington scored a season-high 34 points and No. 3 North Carolina hit a season-best 16 3-pointers in its sixth straight victory. I had commented that the Terps had to stay close early to have a chance but it just didn’t happen. Baltimore’s Sean Mosley continues to grow rapidly, scoring 19 points as he begins to look … Read More »
According to the Terrapin Times, shooting forward, Jin Soo Kim appears to be academically eligible to join the 2008 class for the Maryland Terrapins. Kim is a 6’9 sharpshooter, who will join Sean Mosley as the second recruit to join the team. With the possible exception of adding another big man the 2008-09 roster seems set.
Guards Hayes, Vasquez, Bowie
