Memphis Game Thread

I hate barbeque....for today anyways.

Lets goooooooooooooo MARYLAND!!!

Let's go baby! GO TERPS!

Greives needs to step up big time today. We're gonna need 10 assists to win IMO. If he can get 20 points and 10 assists, we'll be in really good shape.

One of Dupree/Gregory is gonna have to step up too and get 6 points or so and a few rebounds.

Milbourne cannot be nonexistent. We need a good 10 points from him.

Finally, Hayes/Bowie/Mosely all need to play smart ball. All Mosely needs to do is play great defense, grab a couple boards and get a couple points. Hayes needs to hit his open 3's and Bowie cannot make any boneheaded plays.

If we can do all or most of this, we will win pretty easy. If Memphis plays like they did against CS Northridge, we'll be in real good shape.

Overall, I think it's gonna be a close game. Hopefully MD can edge out a close one, but you gotta give Memphis the edge in this one as they are arguably the 5th best team in the country.

This is pretty pathetic early on.

[McNulty]

4 minutes of early January Terps here so far.

[Floater]

Here Eric Hayes comes to save the days!

[OregonBird]

This is going to be an asskicking.

[Pedro Cerrano]

It's still early and they've made some ridic shots (the bank-shot comes to mind).

Gary needs to settle the kids down and if Bowie insists on taking out of control shots, he needs to sit.

[BaltBird 24]

Yeah, not sure it's us playing so bad as it is them just having much more superior talent.

[McNulty]

I don't think the Terps are playing that badly. They just aren't shooting well. The effort is there. If Memphis decides to nail long jumpers all day, we're screwed and we should all know that.

Hey man, are you going to one of the Jupiter games next weekend? I might swing down for one.

[Ruzious]

I wasn't counting on Evans to play this well - him being a frosh. Maybe we gotta have Mosely put the clamps on him.

Maryland has been known to be streaky. There's a long way to go.

[BaltimoreFan]

Can't score outside of either timeout...

Edit - successful on the third try.

[BaltimoreFan]

Maryland just isn't shooting the ball well at all.

[McNulty]

Yeh, I'm down here right now. Caught the game yesterday, rained out today. We may drive up tomorrow. We're also discussing trying to catch the game next Saturday in Jupiter on the way out of town.

Let me know if you do, next Saturday that is.

[Pedro Cerrano]

We just need to hope Memphis goes cold for a few minutes from the outside to let us back in. Keep it around 10 and we can win this.

[Floater]

Gotta get within 5 at half. They are bound to cool off, it can't be like the UNC game at UNC can it?
