Message: [QUOTE="ConwayGmck, post: 3897177, member: 10442"] Maryland plays super up-tempo, and runs opponents out of the games offensively. They lead the nation in scoring offense, but scoring defense (8th in B10, 264th in WBB), FG % defense (7th, 219th), 3pt FG % defense (11th, 279th), and blocks/gm (9th, 178th), are all pedestrian or worse in a league that's not a great defensive league. They shoot very well. But the Gamecock's own offense has been better when it has been able to play up-tempo, so this may be a game of rapid-fire scoring on each end. Questions: I doubt the Gamecocks would be able to match the Terps basket for basket, but can the Terps frustrate the Gamecocks defensively as well as the Gamecocks can with them? That could balance the scoring scales out a bit, but who knows..... [/QUOTE]
