For old time's sake

In a rematch of Maryland’s championship game, the Terps play the Hoosiers tonight in Bloomington.  It starts at 7:30 on ESPN2.

What does Maryland have to do to win?  Get Vasquez to make shots, get the young bigs to stop bucking. I might suggest lithium and oats, respectively. And that’s about it. Oh, and you know that oval-shaped line they draw around the lane? Shots are worth more if you’re standing behind that. So it might be good to try and get a few of those and — more importantly — stop the other team from getting too many.

Hey, remember Maurice Creek? From Maryland, Terps wanted him but didn’t get him? He’s the top guy for Indiana now. He’s a big-time shooter…so yeah. They’ll need to guard him.

Those are a few specifics, but in general, Maryland needs to stop waiting until garbage time to play well. Hopefully a players-only meeting that went down after the Owie in Maui will help. (The meeting apparently was called by Landon Milbourne, who may be emerging as a leader on this team).

Maryland should handle the Hoosiers tonight. But should is a funny, funny, funnnnnnny word.
