After snapping their three-game losing streak with a blowout win over UMBC, Maryland stays at home to face off against South Alabama on Saturday night. The Jaguars are off to a 4-3 (0-0) start to their season, and have won three straight games over Denver, SIU Edwardsville, and Lynn. This will be their third road game of the year, already beating Buffalo and losing to Alabama away from Mobile. Richie Riley is in his sixth season as their head coach, and they're looking for their first NCAA Tournament berth since 2008.

We’ve hit the under-16 and Maryland has shot nothing but threes. They’ve made one, and look totally lost against South Alabama’s zone defense.

[BSLZackKiesel]

Maryland off to a brutal 3/12 start from the field.

Thought Jamie Kaiser was billed as a shooter?

[BSLZackKiesel]

Maryland is 3/15 from beyond the arc so far today. They seemingly have no plan of attack against South Alabama’s zone.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Harris-Smith has yet to score...all 3 of his attempts from 3.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Thought Jamie Kaiser was billed as a shooter?

Supposed to be. Figures to be eventually.

0-3 right now.

[BSLChrisStoner]

2 steals, zero blocks for MD.

Thought MD looked more comfortable against UMBC who wanted to push.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Dont know how to attack the zone, just settling for 3s.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Good job finding Scott there in the lane.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Scott fighting. Board and follow.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Reese has two FG attempts.
He is going to be a pro somewhere, but has no dog in him.

[BaltBird 24]

A guy like Reese has to dominate these lesser opponents. He's got 2 FG attempts and 2 FTs.
