Not that they were bad last year, but there is no reason to expect Maryland to be any better this year than last year. Maybe a touch worse. Still no point guard, and while Harris-Smith may end up being good, he won’t be as good as Hakim Hart was for them.

But, but, but, the Terps have Kevin Willard as their head coach...

UAB up 7 on Maryland now, 44-36, 13 minutes left.  18-6 UAB run.

By game three JG has gone from the starting 3 to the backup 4.

Yep. I was willing to be impressed by them but so far, nope.

So among the B1G contenders below the first tier, I’ve adjusted upwards my expectations of UW & UM — both of whom I’m skeptical of, still — and adjusted downwards my expectations of NW, UMd, and OSU (only slightly in OSU’s case).

The no point guard situation, is going to be their downfall. 

Man, it's nice to know our pg position is in good hands for the future!

Ummm…

Northwestern.

They may be better than last year and they finished 12-8 in conference last year.

Speaking of Ohio St.  I watched their game the other night.  Thorton has picked up right where Sensabaugh left off.

I don’t disagree but I think they’ve looked shaky so far, and they were somewhat lucky in schedule draw and outcomes last year. Probably a bubble team close to .500 in the conference I’d guess?

UAB up on Maryland by 5, one FT to come, 3:55 left, ESPN 2

I thought they looked strong in beating a quality Dayton team

UAB beat Maryland

Clemson/Davidson locked in a good one 

Clemson up 4 with 8 to go.    Started out 1/12 from 3 and now they can’t miss

This is Girards first year with Clemson.

Utah tech wins it 

Fun fact: I coached Aric Demmings 10U and 12U in Desoto, TX. Along with my son.

Has Alex ever had a full season with the Tigers?  Seems like his/was oft injured.

Maybe a couple.    Definitely been injured a lot but from what I can remember last year he just didn’t see the floor as much as I thought he would as a senior

USI’s game has been a disaster
