Can we beat UNC tomorrow?


Recommended Posts

Obviously the cards are stacked against us, but we've played UNC tough during some stretches this year and stranger things have happened (people will recall the eventual NC Terps losing to NC State in the 2002 ACCT).

Add in the fact that we looked great today and the tourney isn't in North Carolina and I think there is some hope there, slim as it may be.

I give us a 5% chance of winning. I'm satisfied if we punish Henson.

So injuring a guy who scored a meaningless 2 points is somehow satisfying? How fall this program has fallen...I remember when Terps fans expected a team to be competitive.

This program is in a down year with a coaching change. They are on the upward swing.

The Henson dunk was stupid, he didn't need to do it. It was a d-move. I am not upset in the least he got injured there. He fell on his wrist, MD didn't go out of their way to hurt him. Oh well.

Oh I didn't think it was a dirty foul. I'm also not terribly sad that he's upset. But, I won't find another embarrassing loss somehow satisfying because he got hurt. I prefer to root for the team to win.

We win if Zeller and Marshall get involved in a nasty collision that results in both players out with a concussion in the first 45 seconds of the game.

Or maybe if Marshall gets laid out a la Dave Neal/Nolan Smith.

I agree. If we lose and Henson is done for the season, I won't be happy.

    • You should totally sue them. What gall they have to kinda, sorta imply that their baseball replays are accurate to the tenths of a second when they might not actually be that. That's exactly what leads to distrust of all institutions, chaos, revolution, and then we're living in some kind of post-apocalyptic hellscape, boiling our own shoes for the meager nutrition in the leather.
    • I think I used elite a little too loosely. Still, not a ton of hitters do better than 1:2 over a full season.
    • Baumeister threw 4.2 scoreless innings last night, 2 hits, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts.  He pounded the strike zone, throwing 49 strikes in 71 pitches.   In 14 innings spanning 4 outings, he’s got a 1.93 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 11.6 K/9, 1.8 K/BB.  The walks have been high, 10 in 14 innings, but not crazy high for a guy just getting his feet wet.  Decent start for Baumeister. 
    • I always thought that if you weren't around 10:1 you weren't trying hard enough.
    • Adley was a nearly finished product when picked, if not for tradition and service time stuff he could have been in the majors shortly after he left college. Gunnar needed 1000+ minor league plate appearances as a high school pick. Ask this same question about the 1990-2017 Orioles with their development system. They certainly could have found a way to screw up Gunnar, would have been harder with Adley.
    • I don’t think it was weird at all.  EDC said it but I thought it unfolded as expected.  You knew the QBs would go. You knew tons of OT and WR would go.   This was always going to be an offense dominated first round. The Oline and WR depth is in every round. I suspect that they go Oline twice or Oline/WR tonight.  Obviously you never know how the board falls but I think that’s what is likely.   This is mainly going to be an offense draft. EDC said a few weeks ago that they will draft a RB.  My guess is that the RB goes sometime in day 3. They will come out of this draft with at least 2 more Olineman, one WR and one RB.  I suspect they take a safety at some point as well. The question will be do they take 9 players.  The Ravens didn’t feel this was a draft with as many draftable players as years past, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they make some kind of a trade. 
    • 1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.
