Following two comfortable wins in their first week of play, Maryland plays Binghamton in a final tune-up game before heading north for the 2022 Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off tournament in Uncasville, CT over the weekend. The Bearcats have also started the year with a 2-0 record, beating both Cazenovia and Marist. Former Seton Hall guard Levell Sanders is in his second season as their head coach after spending two years as an assistant under Tommy Dempsey. Last season, they finished with a record of 12-17 (8-10 America East) and lost to Vermont in the semifinals of their conference tournament.

Actually on TV!

Actually on TV!

Looking forward to it.  Tonight is a good night for CBB.  Kansas and Duke are the late game.  I hope they both lose.

Starting Five: Young, Carey, Hart, Scott, Reese.

Maryland off to the hot start that's eluded them to this point.

Terps defense giving Binghamton fits.

First play I've actually seen this year is a trap, leading to a run out.  Wow.

Scott with muscle in the lane.

Scott there to draw the charge.

Strip, turnover, runout. Hart for 2.

Just so nice to see. Just a better watch, and I think a more effective way to play.  

12-4 Maryland at the under-16.

6 turnovers for Binghamton already.

All 14 of Maryland's points so far have come in the paint.

Martinez in the lane. Nice.

Open 3 airball from Long.

I love that pressure takes time from teams getting into their sets, makes teams uncomfortable, and gives you offense from defense with transition opportunities. 

Also just think players get more excited, and up... 

Added bonus for a team with a limited front-court, is that you limit how many 1/2 court looks you face... ball just throw into the post against you.

Three-point shooting clearly going to be a major issue for this team.

Noah Batchelor moves well. Can see some bounce.

And then he sets up and knocks down a 3.  Nice.
