For one, this is a game they have to win. Second, NC State is not a deep team. If the defense can be harassing and energized, it'll wear them down, force mistakes, and put Maryland in the position to win the game. A loss would be a tremendous letdown for a number of reasons. It would also be, in my mind, unacceptable tonight.

Mackus is exactly right. If they lose tonight, the Duke game means jack squat. This team has confused me all year, as I thought for sure they'd be a tourney lock and maybe a top 4 team in the conference, but they've just been so inconsistent. Can they be as up as they were for Duke for NC State tonight?

I think that the Terps get it done tonight. This is the type of team that Maryland should press full court and try and make it helter skelter. State can only go 7 deep really, and their best ballhandler, Atsur, is a step slow because of an injury from earlier in the year.

Maryland 72

NC State 64

I hope they'll have just as much emotion. I think we can't afford a loss to NCST in either of the two games left against them. If we can win those and the FSU game we'll be on the bubble. If we win those 3 along w/ one of the remaining three then it's a good chance we get in as long as there aren't too many upsets in the conference tournaments.

I'm going to say that the Duke win helps us and we get our firsrt back to back wins in ACC play.

MD wins 82-72

With a win and a Duke loss at BC, we jump to 6th in the ACC. And then if Wake manages to beat Clemson at Wake, we're 5th. A first round bye looks unlikely (we're 3 games behind VT and UVa in the loss column and they both hold tiebreakers), but that would give us a first round ACC game against the last place team. I know this is all looking pretty far ahead, but it's starting to be time to think about tourney matchups.

I'm setting myself up to look really bad here, but I think Wake upsets clemson tonight. Just a hunch, but I think they'll beat them. As for the Terps, I hope they come out as hungry as they did on Sunday.

      I agree Hays is fine to spell Mullins while he figures out how to swing a bat again. I also agree that Hays is disproportionately affected by the wall. If he wasn’t so perpetually dinged up, increasingly expensive and average, he would be an excellent trade candidate.

      Rubenstein came down the aisle for our section last night during the game tossing out dozens of hats and talking to the fans as he went. Awesome to have an owner that truly loves this team and enjoys being part of the crowd.

      I  agree that when he swings at strikes, isn’t in perpetual pull mode, and isn’t trying to hit the ball 450 feet, he’s pretty good.

      He can spell Mullins too. Really nice addition if he can get back to playing like Hayes again.Now, if only we can Mullins going.

      I think everyone agrees when he’s healthy, he’s pretty good.  But that doesn’t mean he should be starting over Cowser. Maybe against lefties but he’s never been lefty assassin.

      New Rubenstein updates in the Sun this morning: Rubenstein’s group will soon own 97% of the Orioles.  The prior minority had tag-along rights and almost all have decided to sell (not surprising as change in control is only time you get true market value). It’s not known which minority owners decided to hold on to their shares. Rubenstein reiterated that Elias is the best GM in baseball. Unlike John Angelos, Rubenstein won’t serve as the everyday CEO on the business side.  They are actively recruiting for the role and have retained a search firm. Stadium upgrades could include a modern scoreboard, more premium seating near the field, additional restaurants, and an improved clubhouse. Rubenstein frequently signs autographs with the date and people tell him to stop being such a lawyer.
