Following two straight wins during the past week, Maryland wraps up their three-game home stand with a game against Rider on Tuesday night. This will be their final non-conference game before a quick two-game conference teaser which begins on Friday. The Broncs have started their season with a 1-4 (0-0) record, and have lost four straight games to Marquette, Nebraska, Duquesne, and Stony Brook. Their only victory came at home against Immaculata. This game is part of a brutal six-game road trip for head coach Kevin Baggett, who's in his 12th season at the helm in Lawrenceville. Their last NCAA Tournament appearance came back in 1994.

 

You can only watch this game with a subscription to the Big Ten Plus streaming service. Access to conference-wide games starts at $14.95/month but you can purchase access to Maryland's games for $9.95/month.

Get Reese going like he was in the 2nd half yesterday.  Feed him the ball, and attack the basket. 

Would like to see Geronimo follow-up yesterday, with a similar performance. 

Get the Freshman going...  don't settle for 3's.  Go to the basket. Get to the line. 

 

Press... increase the tempo... get some offense from defense, score in transition. 

 

Get some positive minutes from Long, Batchelor, Swanton-Rodger...   maybe find some time and shots for Lamothe.

Really good goals.  I think both Kaiser and Harris-Smith need to see the ball go through the net and we will see the players that they can be.  

I think your last point is really important.  The Terps need to deepen the bench and the time for that is now.  One of Swanton-Rodgers or Traore needs to be at least serviceable to give Maryland more size.  Long needs to keep the defense honest by making a few shots.  They do not need to be 3's.  Just make them guard him.  He works hard on defense and handles well.  If he can not do that, then give Lamothe the minutes.

Maryland is about to attempt their 30th free throw, and the first half isn’t even over yet.

Rider has committed 19 fouls. All but 3 Rider players have at least 2 fouls, and all 9 of them have at least 1 foul. They have a player with 4 fouls, and another with 3. Insane.

They’re gonna have to start pulling people out of the crowd to suit up in the second half at this rate.
