Sounds like they will have to get through Cal 1st before worrying about Kansas from what was said on the CBS selection show. Hell the way this team has played this year would anyone be surprised if they lose in the 1st round? I wouldn't. Very schizophrenic team.
Terps just don't have "it" right now. They go as Trimble goes, and his shooting had been horrid. The fact that they almost beat MSU with him shooting so poorly was crazy.
If he can shoot even 40% overall, they can beat anyone. And I mean anyone, Kansas included.
Terps bracket is wide open. UConn is on of their tears, they could beat Kansas.
To show how wide open this entire tournament is? If you combine the losses of all 4 #1 seeds, the most any tourney had seen was 20 total losses, in 2000. This year there are 23. So almost 6 a team (MD has 8).
Any team that gets hot the next 3 weeks can win it all. There are probably 20 such teams. MD is one of them.

I would be equally not surprised if the Terps lose to South Dakota State or make it to the final.

You know you're desperate when you're hyped about signing Mike Wallace

Yeah, but are you getting Steeler Wallace, or Dolphin Wallace, or Viking Wallace?

Dolphin Wallace was still pretty good. 140 receptions for 1792 yards and 15 TDs over the two years. Dunno what was going on with Vikings Wallace, but it might have something to do with the Vikings attempting the fewest passes in the league last year (the leader, coincidentally, was the Ravens) and Bridgewater being a bad deep-ball passer. Of course there's also the headcase factor, but I think it could be a good signing.

Happy now?
Considering what the Ravens have trotted out there at WR for the last decade, Wallace is an excellent signing. It's not a long commitment, and he's reasonably cheap.
They can actually lineup 4 competent NFL receivers in Smith, Wallace, Aiken, and (presumably) Perriman. They're also pretty solid at TE with Watson, Gillmore, and Williams. Flacco finally has some weapons.
Weddle and Wallace are also both about filling holes, and thus not forcing a reach in the draft.

Well yeah, that's a decent lineup if we go by best case scenario. There's a lot of risk/reward in that corps of WRs. Could end up crashing and burning as well.
Terps have to beat a 12 and a 13 to get to the Sweet 16. Can't ask for much more than that.

So tired of announcers referring to red-shirt freshman as simply freshmen with awe and amazement.
They aren't freshman. They are sophomores playing their 1st year of eligibility. Huge difference.
And Terps up, but they sure aren't playing that great.

Great stuff, but I don't like the timing. Wait until your player is in the ground or on his feet before pretty much saying "hey, don't **** up like this guy did".

How tragic. Riding a dirt bike on the roads at night with no headlight and dark clothing. Horrible news....
