Let's play tough, build some more chemistry, and continue to show progress. That Maryland hasn't exactly buried anybody is a good omen. They snuck by American and Towson, and beat Georgetown by a point. Maybe we can hang around for a while.
We need to find our range from outside. We're at .245 from three, a sharp contrast from the 37 percent we shot last year. Gotta do better. Maryland hasn't been much better at .287. I'd go zone and see if they can shoot us out of it.
It's going to be hard to stay in front of Trimble, and although he's up near 20 a game, a lot of that's going to basket and then the free throw line. He's averaging seven makes from the line per game. Who goes man up on him? Iroegbu? Or maybe Boals puts length on him? It will be interesting to see. As a team, Maryland has more FT makes than its opponents do attempts.
Maryland's field goal percentage: a subpar 41%. Opponents: 35%.
I love that we've gone a legit 10 deep to this point. Our legs should be relatively fresh tomorrow night.
Should be a good test for Sturdy inside. Dodd may not be flashy but he's a senior and a behemoth.
