So I'll start this one... Maryland comes off the biggest win during the Turgeon era and since atleast the last time they beat Duke in 2010 on Senior Night in the final home game for Vasquez, Eric Hayes, and Landon Millbourne (I think this one was bigger).
Goes without saying this game is important, well so is every single one left. Getting road wins would help their tournament resume. Many bracketolgists have them on the outside looking in, so a win here might push them to the other side. Regardless, I don't call this a "must win," since they are not doomed if they don't win this one. That said, they need every win they can get.
It's a homecoming for Jake Layman, so I'll venture to say he has a big game playing in front of friends/family. It will be interesting to see how they fare with P'eShon Howard back.

They'll fair fairly poor with Pe back... the team is better when he isn't on the floor, IMHO.
Probably won't be able to watch this game as I'm up in Buffalo for work, but I'll be following it. Hopefully they show up tonight.

A loss doesn't completely negate the benefit of the Duke win, but it knocks out a ton of it.
They can definitely still make the tournament even if they lose tonight, the door isn't completely closed, but if they lose, like several previous games, it'll be very difficult to think them capable of doing everything that is needed from that point forward to make the tournament.
I think they come out strong tonight, though. And they'll need to because BC has been very tough at home. Lost to both Duke and Miami by a single point. Lost by 5 to NC State. I still like MD to come out strong, not to play as efficiently on offense as Saturday but to limit the turnovers to something poor but not unbelievable, and get out of there with a 6-10 point victory.

I agree with this.
I think you learn about the team either way with the result tonight.

I agree with Mackus. I think they play well tonight and they need to. It is time to put up or shut up. Need to build off the victory over Duke. BC played Duke tough so they are capable, but Maryland needs to start quick and win this game.

Padgett back in the starting lineup.
Looks like Twitter had it wrong? Raycom lists Cleare as the starter.

Can not get a shot to fall early. One thing I will not miss when Maryland goes to the Big 10 is Gminski

2-2 after almost 5 minutes. First to 20 wins. Too many flops called in ACC.

Absolutely. Just an amazing amount of charges called.
BC going to have trouble dealing with MD's size. Just pound the ball inside, and take the lid off the rim.

Aronhalt's 15 points off the bench has MD up 33-26 at the half... great defensive play from Wells as time expires on the first 20 minutes.

How the hell are you guys watching the game?
There is baseball, and occasionally there are other things of note
"Now OPS sucks. Got it."
"Making his own olive brine is peak Mackus."
