Maryland at Illinois

First place in the Big Ten on the line tonight at 8 PM on FS1.

Illinois is a 3 point favorite.

Another tough matchup for Jalen Smith, as Kofi Cockburn, Illinois' 7'0" center is their key player, he is averaging 14.0/9.2.

Cockburn was held to 9/8 in their first meeting in December, a 59-58 Maryland victory.

I am looking forward to another good game.

I'm not good at analyzing post positioning, is Smith getting bullied out?  My first glance is that we're just getting terrible bounces off the iron, and Smith is sliding over to help defend a drive to the basket and leaving himself out of position.

I'm not sure if we can go with a 4 guard lineup vs Illinois, their post players are a bit too good for that.

I don't know why you guys are still surprised when Terps start slow.  That's kind of their MO.

Just finish the half strong.  Terps are a second half team.

The Terps didn't start slow.  They're actually playing pretty well offensively.  Illinois started off red hot.
