After a blowout win over D-II opponent Wingate on Friday afternoon, the Terps will travel to Ann Arbor to face #7 Michigan for the second time this season. The Wolverines won the first meeting in College Park on New Year's Eve by a score of 84-73. Michigan currently holds a 11-1 (6-1) record, having suffered their first loss to Minnesota on Saturday afternoon. They beat the Golden Gophers at home earlier in the year, and have other conference wins over Nebraska, Northwestern, Penn State, and Wisconsin.

 

KenPom currently ranks the Wolverines as the #5 team in the country, while Maryland comes in at #45.

I have not seen a better team than Michigan this year.  Michigan style wise is also probably the worst matchup for this Maryland team.  Maryland needs to keep adding resume wins, but it is hard to see them adding one against Michigan.

I wonder if Hunter Dickinson will spend this game acting like Mark Turgeon killed his favorite dog or he got that out of his system last game

Really? Have you watched Gonzaga play yet? Because IMO, that may be the best college basketball team I've seen in many, many years.

Turgeon announces that Eric Ayala will play in this game, though he won’t start and his minutes will be limited.

Yeah I'd imagine some people are gonna shrug off Gonzaga because of the conference but they ran through their OOC pretty easily

IMS has a story about Turgeon drawing outside interest. 

 

ESPN's Lunardi has MD in his last 4 out.

I have only seen about 15 minutes of them.  I have seen Michigan quite a bit,  

 

I will try to catch them the next time they are on.

Drawing outside interest as in someone hiring him?

Hakeem Hart to start at the point again, I guess.

Definitely do. Their late start times don't help, but catch them when you can. Fun to watch.

The late start is the problem for me.

I was thinking the same thing. I think Turgeon is a good man, who works hard, but he generates very little in the way of excitement that creates energy from the fan base.  His style of play is bland, and at best, he is an average in game coach.

I think many programs around the country are going to have to hit the reset button, when this pandemic is over.  Fans are going to need a reason to return and I am not sure Turgeon is going to be able to give them an excitement level that brings them back.  Turgeon getting another job, may be the easiest way for Maryland to start fresh.
