Thanks for the great info on BTN+, Zack. Very helpful.

Looking forward to tonight. Was going to go, but am on the back end of my first cold in a couple years and wouldn’t feel right given everything I now understand about respiratory droplets and what not.

Go Terps! So stoked for this season.

9-5 Maryland at the under-16. Some missed shots and early jitters on both ends of the court.

[BSLZackKiesel]

Fatts Russell is FAST, and he’s already shown it off multiple times in the first 6 minutes of this game.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Wahab is legit.

[BSLZackKiesel]

Julian Reese, Ian Martinez, and Xavier Green the first three off the bench for the Terps tonight.

16-8 Maryland at the under-12.

Wahab is legit.

Im going to trust you but lets remeber who hes playing against

[BSLZackKiesel]

26-14 Maryland at the under-8. Julian Reese really showing out on both ends of the court so far.

Wahab is legit.

In a league with a couple of great bigs...he is going to hold his own.

Reese in the exhibition and tonight already producing is a fantastic sign.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Ayala has 7 boards

[BSLChrisStoner]

30 fg attempts and only 6 threes. I like that.

[BSLChrisStoner]

I was worried late Summer that Martinez wouldn't be ready. Awesome that he is ready to go.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Dziuba has some fans.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Green should be a solid addition to the rotation.

Definitely have depth.

[BSLZackKiesel]

41-25 Maryland at halftime. Russell leads all scorers with 8 points, and Ayala leads with 7 rebounds.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Absolutely love what I’m seeing from Fatts Russell, Wahab, Scott, Ayala and Reese.

Even Martinez and Dziuba have flashed off the bench a bit.

What’s the deal with Graham III. Know he was a big recruit. How will he factor in this year?

He hasn’t even hit the shots he should have, first game rust. The moves and athleticism play. Doesn’t matter who against. But a fair point nevertheless. I’m buying in.

He’s still only 18 (and won’t turn 19 until June), but he’s definitely an under-the-radar breakout candidate this season. I’m really high on him, and he should get some solid minutes early in the year to show what he can do.
