Maryland has started their season with two straight victories, and they'll remain in College Park to face off against Florida A&M on Monday night. The Rattlers are off to an 0-2 start to the year, with blowout losses to TCU and SMU on their resume thus far. They're led by first-year head coach Patrick Crarey II, a Washington, DC native who spent ten seasons as the head coach at Washington Adventist University in Takoma Park, MD.

Good ole fashioned beat down. Love to see it. Bring that swag into CP on Fridee against Marquette.

Students have mostly lost interest. You can only coast off a National Championship for so long, and these kids weren’t even born in 2002. To them, Maryland is nothing more than a mediocre program that their parents used to care about.

Yeah, I get it. No shade. It's quite sad though, isn't it?

[BSLChrisStoner]

If there isn't a crowd for Marquette that would be a problem.

[BSLZackKiesel]

Reese with 12 points already, and has gone 4/4 from the free throw line.

[BSLZackKiesel]

Maryland shot 46% from the field during the first half, including 18% from beyond the arc. Forced 13 turnovers defensively.

So guess Mt St Mary's was a one-off and they are back to being the same old team that plays good defense but can't shoot.

Queen starting the second half on the bench in favor of Geronimo.
