My Terps at South Beach tonight

23-17-1 on Terp games this season

Nice bounce back against VT over the weekend as I finally picked up multiple wins on Terps game plays.  Still a tough team to cap right now due to inexperience and a very one-dimensional offense focused on Stoglin gunning and then gunning some more.

Terps head to south beach tonight and play a Miami team that is 3-3 in the conference also.  They do not rebound very weel and if the Terps are going to hang here, Len, Padgett and Pankey have got to come up big.  They'll have to give us the edge in the frontcourt, contain Kadji and Reggie Johnson and hopefully get one of them in foul trouble.

Miami is a very good FT shooting team though they don't get to the line as often as the Terps.  The Terps and Canes shoot the ball about the same and play about the same defensively as far as opponents FG% is concerned.  I sort of expect Durand Scott to draw the defensive assignment on Stoglin becuase of his length at 6'5".  That huge height advantage could be a real problem for Stogs which translates to a huge problem for the Terps as he will not stop gunning no matter what and our droughts that have done us in very winnable games the last two weeks are due to us haning close, missing a few, forcing shot by Stogs and then digging a double digit hole in a matter of minutes.   Look for Turge to make Stoglin play more patient and look to share the ball as he has since the Temple game (at least in the first half of each game).

Mosley has got to score tonight and Len has got to show up.  Outside of a couple good games against shot teams, Len has been very disappointing.  I know he needs to learn the college game and this isn't Europe or whatever but when you are 7'2", there are certain things you should be able to do regardless if you are playing basketball on fucking Mars.  Grab the ball, put your body on people, dunk the fucking ball, block shots.  He HAS to start playing better and quit trying to be the Dirk of the ACC.  If he plays much better tonight, we hang till the end.  I am not impressed with Miami and the environment there flat out sucks so yes it is the road but it will be very bearable.

I think both teams shoot the ball well enough and allow enough possessions by the opponent to score some points tonight.  I also think that as well as the Terps get to the FT line (though we aren't greta shooters) and as well as Miami does shoot it well from the charity stripe, this one has a great chance to go over.  I have a lean on the Terps also and will make it a single play.

Plays:  Over 137.5 (double play)

Always capping.....I'm the Maryland guy in here.  Did you just join I see?  Your name is very similar to Capping Vet who you like so much.  Interestingly enough, he also told me in a thread last week the same things you mention.  How do you guys know each other as I don't know where anyone in here went to college and I've been here for seven years as you can see.

Do you agree with your "friend" that Turge isn't making things happen quickly enough in College Park.  I hear his and his wife haven't even finished hanging pictures in their new home so I will be giving him some time to get situated and am happy with the progress and recruiting thus far.

I'll be watching this system closely.

great second half performance

over to the bank,,,,,    good luck on MD cover in  OT

26-17-1 on Terp plays

I went 3-0 on Terp plays tonight, won money.....and I feel like throwing up right now.  They had every chance to pick up a big road win.  Motherfucker.

UNC at Comcast 4:00 Saturday.  Back Saturday morning.  Oh....and Fuck Dook.

Pay attention and you will know the answer to that.  I fade them when it warrants it.  It's about making money.  About once a month I get someone who doesn't know the history here and thinks I'm a blind homer.  LOL.

And you were saying you didn't know your team well......

3-0 Thx bro!
