Kenpom giving Maryland only a 51% chance is very telling as his calculations are usually ranking-heavy given that he adjusts for so many variables.

I used to like Maryland (who couldn't love Laron Profit and Exree Hipp?) but Williams' crybaby antics really turned me against the program.

Then last year, I had a pretty bad experience with some UMD fans at Barclays. I'm no pearl clutcher, but I don't come to a basketball game to see 20-year-olds swearing at older women and throwing beer and punches.

All that said, you have to respect Turgeon and what he's doing there, even if he's really benefiting from the UA connection.

Chap made an appearence in the comment section in the MD article. Completely befuddled their readers. Some didn't get it, some thought it funny.. He sure gets around, sad really.

Thanks for the heads up. I needed that laugh.

I thought you were bringing back Senore when I saw Testudo Times.

Chappie on our side!!! Fukkin with their heads.

He was dissing us hardcore. He hates Ollie and all of our players now. Probably due to a change in his daily bath salts intake.

Not probably, he was. Called Ollie a pin head among other things.

I'm trying to figure out how the hell he surfaced there of all places

H0tTowelTerp - Where is a decent Maryland basketball forum?

 

[Silk31]

The line is UMD -1.5. That line says it all for what kind of game we should expect to see.

Vegas respects UConn more than the AP and Coach's poll voters. Not sure how many other unranked teams would sniff that spread vs the Twerps

WOW! Where are you seeing that line? I was sure we would see 3+

 

[Marat]

I also see UConn +1.5 ( http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-basketball/odds/las-vegas/ )

Vegas is not into losing money.

Quite frankly, should be a good game.

Put in a walkon and go old Big East on Stone. Open the game with one good cheap shot!
