You too are not haha. I grew up a terps basketball fan but have converted and loom forward to storming court at UMD if we somehow win lol. I know I may be alone in the storming. Upset the Duquesne game isn't on T.V. but bought Big Ten Plus to be able to watch just about every other game.

I was going to hit the Duquesne game, but 2 huge factors made me change mind. Parkway is closed going in and out and its light up night.

I'm guessing you both are glad you weren't able to see the game. Ouch we lost 78-52. We were doing well until Duquesne went on a 12-0 run to end the half making it 37-26 and we never recovered. Our leading scorer Taylor only had 14pts. A positive note is our defense seems to be doing well. Penn State held the Dukes to 17pts fewer then their average.

Penn State: Prior to its loss Friday, the Nittany Lions had allowed an average of 56 points in two wins against VMI and DePaul.

Duquesne: The Dukes averaged 95.5 points in their two wins entering Friday.

Looking at last years recruits and this years recruits really makes me excited for the future of our basketball team. We will have lots of team chemistry with 4 players who played HS ball at Roman Catholic and who won a championship together. We also have 2 players you played at Oak Hill Academy and that school just produces stud basketball players.
1. Carmelo Anthony
2. Jerry Stackhouse
3. Kevin Durant
4. Josh Smith
5. Rod Strickland

Now the only question mark is at Center where it appears we only have 1 player who is listed as a center and he is a senior.

Getting the top players in Philly and kids from Oak Hill is HUGE step for this program.

Well team hasn't done well past few games. We need these wins before we get to the Big10 schedule.

Yeah, I just want Reaves to develop this year and the rest of the stars come in next class

Well Reaves had 10pts and the Lions beat Kent St 75-69. We are 9-4 going into the Big 10 schedule. Not the greatest but could be worse. Lot of young talent on this team and more coming next year.

Reaves has also been VERY GOOD defensively.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Anyone following the Bball team. Record is only 10-8 but it appears we are playing hard just not getting the W. We are leading Northwestern in tonight's game and they are a 15-3 team.

Reaves has been out with mono as well. Next year when they get the big offensive guys they should take a big step. I think this year could be an NIT appearance

Hockey team is top 15 and just swept Wisky

Wrestling team bigtime favorite for the Natty and will go on another run of 4-5 with teh talent on board and coming in

 

[Ritzarmy]

Beat the #4 Iowa Hawkeyes. Confident booster for next season.

 

[linebackeru]

yeah, that's 2 big wins in 2 weeks, trending up to end season bodes well with the offensive help on way next year. That Iowa game was ridiculous as well. refs were doing all they could to keep B1G team in top 5.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Fucking refs and their one sided calls during the OSU game. We could have beaten the Fuckeyes if the refs actually blew the whistle against OSU instead of just us. My God they missed so many calls against them. One play for the buckeyes the guy took 4 steps and the announcers even commented on the bad play calling. Oh well didn't see us beating MSU or making the tournament just wanted more playing time/experience for the young team.
