Leslie, Brown and Howell will all be tough to keep in line tonight, but if the Terps plan to win, that's they'll need to contain those three.

Also, the Terps will be sporting their "Pride" look this evening:

Hahaha... I love it. Like you, I'm expecting the Terps to bounce back and pull this win out.NCST is very athletic, and plenty talented. Coming off of their victory vs. Duke,they look poised to contend for the ACC Title. The Terps have looked brutal their last 6 Quarters. I fully expect a MD win.

We'll see...I am going tonight and I am very interested to see what the crowd is like. This is a huge game for the Terps. They need this win for their NCAA resume after losing these games recently. Let's see if the Terps fans are crazy tonight or if they are going to live up to their rep and just show up when its Duke.I expect Comcast to be rocking tonight.
NC St is playing very well and they are very strong inside...just as MD is.
NC St has a big advantage at PG and that will be a key to this game.

I've heard from some current students that there's a really good buzz on campus about Terps basketball right now. Hopefully that translates in the stands tonight.

Crazy talk. Just because I don't always loudly vocalize when I expect my teams to lose, doesn't mean I don't 'predict' it.

I went for the Saturday VaTech game. The crowd was somewhat late arriving, but it filled-up (probably 98% full) and was a good environment.
Lots of people on the campus complain about 7pm games because parking is an issue with classes still going. That said, it would be pathetic if the crowd is not ready to go tonight.

Well, they get really up or the big games and then come down right after...not all that surprising.Wow, that's crazy.
If most ACC teams treated every game like they do Duke and UNC, they would be more successful.

Yeah, I mean I get that... but when you're as good as Duke, year in and year out, you just can't fake that level of desire to beat the best when you're not playing the best.Well, they get really up or the big games and then come down right after...not all that surprising.

Yea, I guess...Its just that, these teams(and their fans) feel like they have to beat them and if they don't, its a letdown...and if they do win, they expend so much energy(physically and mentally) that they can't come back from that, at least not quickly.Yeah, I mean I get that... but when you're as good as Duke, year in and year out, you just can't fake that level of desire to beat the best when you're not playing the best.
MD was really the only program that could do that and that was only for a short period of time.

Yep. It's a double edged sword. You win, but then lose a bad game right after. Still, it's a program building win usually. Lot of spot light, storming the court, if it's at home, you're hosting some recruits, etc.Yea, I guess...Its just that, these teams(and their fans) feel like they have to beat them and if they don't, its a letdown...and if they do win, they expend so much energy(physically and mentally) that they can't come back from that, at least not quickly.

And obviously, the unfortunate part for the opposing teams is that, most often, they lose, lol.

I think Allen takes some control of the PG position and has a good game.
Really important to get a win tonight. Not a must win, but would be really bad to lose 3 straight this early in the ACC season.

Just park on one of the roads off of Metzerott and walk across 193 and up to the arena. Real simple, always space, free street parking, only a 10 minute max walk if you walk slow, and you can go down Metzerott to get back on 95 the back way and avoid Rt 1 completely on the way out.Lots of people on the campus complain about 7pm games because parking is an issue with classes still going. That said, it would be pathetic if the crowd is not ready to go tonight.
I'm glad more people don't know about it because it's so easy and it keeps it wide open for me!
