Ok so I'll post...too bad Maryland lost to George Mason last night...would have liked US to get that win. My sense is that they will come out angry and ready to play. We cannot spot them 12 points early like we did vs. Iona.

According to Sagarin the Terps shoould be around 12 point favorites which I think is about right.

Hope to see Cooks make a comeback with Ray more comfortable and Estrada do his thing.

Anyone going? Mrs & I will be there, as well as in Richmond.

This game could be more of a size mismatch then playing Iona. Their starters are 6'11, 6'8, 6'8, 6'5 and 5'11. They also bring in a freshman off the bench who's 6'9 and gets a lot of minutes. This should be a nightmare for us matching up but maybe we can counter with quickness and good shooting beyond the arc.

Maryland by 11.5 with a 141.5 O/U so they're predicting 76-65, Terps

10.5 on Yahoo.

As they say, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight its the size of the fight in the dog"...we've been the smaller team in every game so far and we've managing to hold our own in rebounding.

That sounds like a JAM quote but yes lets hope this game is about our guards and not about their bigs. It would be a nice win after losing the heart breaker to Houston. A lot of us I believe have now set the bar higher maybe higher then it should be and felt frustrated after losing to Iona.

[HUSID74]

ESPN says we're 11 point underdogs and gives us a 20.6 percent chance of winning.

[RollPride15]

I'd like to see more chemistry and understanding of roles between Ray and Cooks. Neither of them are natural PGs so it's understandable that last game the flow felt a little off. I'm sure it will improve as the year goes on.

[HUSID74]

We play another top 20 team and what do we have on here???? Ghosts!!!!

Come on guys!!!!!!

[daHUPride]

Where is Iyiola????

[triplec2195]

Where is Iyiola????

Gotta luv it now we have no bigs. When I saw Iyiola in the Iona game I thought to myself this guy is very frail looking and he appeared to be limping up and down the court. This should be no shocker to anyone.

[triplec2195]

A lot to say about this half but hated the last minute or so when we were not cognizant of the shot clock leading to two ridiculous turnovers and letting them take the lead. Cooks struggling and Estrada missing badly two wide open threes. Kudos to Dubar who’s showing that he does in fact have an outside shot. Ray also playing well.

[RollPride15]

Having Isaac Kante would feel really good right around now. Poor Cramer has probably spent 80% of his time on the court this year playing center.

[EvanJ]

We should see what freshman forward Christian Tomasco should do. He's three inches taller than Cramer. Maybe don't use Tomasco tonight or at Richmond unless we're down a lot, but he should play against Molloy if Iyiola and Simmons are both injured.

[RollPride15]

Ray looking like a vet, taking three charges including a clutch one just now with 2 min left

[RollPride15]

Ray just taking over in a big way -- Hof up 4 after his three with 1:19 left.

[RollPride15]

Tie game, :22 left, Hofstra ball. Got to be a Ray jumper or something from Cooks.

[RollPride15]

Silverio with a three-pointer blocked and then commits a loss ball foul. What the hell are they doing.
