The Terps need this one at home. A win should help with their confidence.

Here's a look at the Terps next five games:

Wed, Jan 16 vs #14 North Carolina State 7:00 PM ET

Sat, Jan 19 @ North Carolina 12:00 PM ET

Tue, Jan 22 vs Boston College 9:00 PM ET

Sat, Jan 26 @ #3 Duke 1:00 PM ET CBS

Wed, Jan 30 @ Florida State 8:00 PM ET

If the Terps lose tonight, they could be looking at a 2-6 start in the ACC.

I expect Comcast to be rocking tonight.

Also, the Terps will be sporting their "Pride" look this evening:

It's gonna be really loud. Stadium is sold out, pride unis, ESPN game and Gary coming on the court for a ceremony. (He's receiving a painting for the National Championship... NCAA commissions one for each champion). Hopefully the team can ride the crowd and put in a good performance.

[NewMarketSean]

Those uniforms sent half bad...maybe they should be the regular unis.

[Brendan25]

I think we get crushed, but I really hope I'm wrong. I'm usually an optimistic person but I'm really down on this team right now.

[Danielos38]

I don't see why they aren't. They would look good in all four colors.

[The Rick]

Great start so far for the Terps... leading 12-4 halfway through the 1st.

[Floater]

I generally hate their shot selection. But, their young and without a true PG. I think we need to run our offense through the big men more often. I see too many possessions where they just pass the ball around in the backcourt, waiting for one of the guards to make a play.

[Bosibus]

Was that an oop or a missed shot? Regardless, WOW.

[Floater]

My God, don't rush the court vs NC ST! Great win though.

[The Rick]

Len was very impressive down the stretch. That's the one take away.

[murph]

Saw the game live...sloppy win, but what an awesome finish! Len was way fired up!

[Tony-OH]

Len was very impressive down the stretch. That's the one take away.

He turned it on over the last four minutes or so after being downright bad most of the night. the best thing Maryland can take from this is that they beat a good team with no one really having a great game. Neither Len or Dez stepped up tonight. Not sure why Dez won't take it to the rack but he looked very tentative all night.

The two times Dez did take it to the rack, he missed a layup and a sure fire dunk. Not Dez's best night at all. He also looked poor on both 3 attempts when they were attempting to "bust the zone" down the stretch. Really would have liked to see Aronhalt do that, but they couldn't find him a good look.
