FSU vs Maryland preview and game thread
Deividas Dulkys basked in the glory of his starring role in Saturdays 33-point beat down of North Carolina for about as long as it took him to get from the court to the interview room. By then he was done talking about Carolina and had moved on to Maryland. So at least the senior knows how his team should be focusing. Whether or not they have been properly focused should be evident in a couple hours. The Terrapins (12-4, 2-1) are in town and they arrive tied with FSU (11-6, 2-1) in the ACC. The Terps lost a close game at NC State and then took care of business at home against Wake Forest and Georgia Tech. Out of conference they only lost to good teams (Alabama, Iona and Illinois) and they have a win over Notre Dame.
This has been a tale of two seasons for Maryland. In the first part they went 6-3 and were so shorthanded that a walk-on was getting more than 10 minutes a game. In the 2nd part they saw the return of sophomore point guard Pe'Shon Howard and the arrival of 7'0 Ukranian freshman Alex Len. They've gone 6-1 with Len averaging 8.4 points and 6.6 boards, and Howard playing his usual all-around games with 5.7 points, 4.3 boards and 4.3 assists.
1st year head coach Mark Turgeon typically had solid, balanced teams at Texas A&M. Maryland isn't quite there yet. On offense they're decent, but nothing more. They do have the leading scorer in the conference in sophomore guard Terrell Stoglin (20.9 ppg, almost 4 points higher than the next closest ACC player). Stoglin is a special player. He can score from anywhere and takes good care of the ball. But he takes 37% of the shots when he's on the floor, which makes their offense 1-dimensional. They go as he goes. Senior guard Sean Mosley is the only other player averaging double figures (11.1).
Prior to the arrival of Alex Len, the interior was held down by 6'8 junior James Padgett, who has the best offensive rebound rate in the nation. Overall their offensive rebound rate is 27th nationally and they're the 3rd best team in the country at getting to the foul line. FSU will likely defend Maryland the same way they played Virginia Tech (though the this case the entire defense will be keying on Stoglin rather than Erick Green). Contain Stoglin, and make the rest of the team beat you.
Defensively, Maryland isn't a very good team. They're 312th at forcing turnovers and 213th at defensive 2-pt FG%. FSU should be able to do enough on offense to win, assuming the defense carries the day. If the team which beat the Hokies and mauled the Tar Heels shows up, no problem. If the team that laid an egg against Clemson shows up, this very easily could turn into an upset.
The game tips at 9pm from the Donald L Tucker Center, and will be broadcast on ESPNU. FSU opened -13 in Vegas, but the line has moved two full points (to -11) since then, which is never a good sign.

Let's hope the good version of FSU shows up!
That would be a great sign for the rest of the year (even though I suspect the home crowd will carry us through this game even if we don’t play well)
i like that we can put snear on their best offensive player
then rotate in dulkys and peterson as needed…
this bodes well for the good guys…
jeff peterson - back up pg
he’s a decent defender…
I broke down Turgeon's offense before the NCAA game last season.
Very vanilla, but effective in its simplicity

Why oh why
Can’t we have an offense like that? :)
Of course, I listened to the Alabama-MD game on the radio and MD was worse than horrible.
Early goings I know but…
i saw them play before howard and len returned against FIU
the second half of that game was horrendous. of course, i also watched FSU play this season so…
I'm gonna drop several Ukranian Mob
references in the game thread. Watch for them.

Blowback will be worse than usual with a poor performance by FSU tonight
Inconsistency this & that. I’m hoping that the UNC inspired confidence, but not so much where Gibson thinks he’s Dulkys

What networks are available thru WatchESPN?
Subscribers with an ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN Goal Line or ESPN Buzzer Beater TV subscription from a participating TV service provider will have access to watch a live stream of the same network online and via the WatchESPN app in addition to content on ESPN3, subject to certain rights and blackout restrictions. Subscribers of non-participating TV providers will have access solely online at WatchESPN.com to ESPN3 programming as long as they subscribe to a participating high speed internet service provider.
The way I understand it is that if you don't have a participating ISP
You can’t watch ESPNU games. It’s always listed as “exclusive” (I have Cox in PCola), and I have it gives me the ISP message.

I am not sure Kreft deserves more than about 5 mins a game.
Hate to say it.
Makes a good move on that last possession.

He's so lazy on defense..
I feel like White, Gibson, and James are so much better at protecting the rim.
It's certainly a close call with those two knuckleheads

Thought UVa "firing" Leitao was strange at the time
but Bennett was the right choice 100%. Really revitalized that whole program
Singletary really helped keep him afloat
Was a shame though, he seems like a good guy. Littlepage has really made some great hires at UVa. I was a little skeptical at first, but O’Connor, London and Bennett have all been very very good hires.
They should be
They have all the resources in the world to be successful, and an alumni base that is wealthy and doesn’t mind writing big checks to be successful. Great place to live & work, too
It's an incredible venue for everything
basketball, concerts, you name it. They did a great job integrating it into the way the rest of the university looks. It’s the exact type of facility you need to have a successful program
dunno, VT doesnt exactly take great recruits
nothing changes as long as London agrees to only recruit the good ones

its also a proximity issue
fade away jumpers are easier when youre closer to the rim (and more natural w/ your back to the basket)
but get exponentially harder the further you get away –
and of course being 7’ doesnt hurt either…

somehow, after we beat Duke last year at home
I found a couple @UNC tix for only about $20 (maybe I bought those before the Duke win, but I don’t think so). I keep checking this year for NC ST, but nothing’s going under $50. Pretty disappointing.
I am seeing no better than $125 per ticket for the Duke game.

It was mainly surprising because they(spurs) were everywhere in the 1st half

Meh, he’s serviceable and with ginobili out playing better as he’s getting a flow for what Pop wants
he has looked done to me for a while. Define servicable.
"However, I say, let UM burn." -onebarrelrum
agree to disagree -
he was never the most passionate guy –
he doesnt defend well and cant create his own shot –
and now he’s slowing down and not playing w/ a great distributor
He’s a quality IMO. – He’s giving you 12+ a game, shooting 50% from 3 and defending much better in year 2 under Pops system where he’s held accountable. Him not being a rah, rah passionate guy is ok with me.
i didnt realize he was at .507 from distance - but id bet my last banana that he doesnt finish the year above .440
which is quite good
but imgoing to disagree re: his d as well
its hard to gauge d w/ stats – but theyre no where near the defensive team they were a few years ago, and i can’t think of one small fwd he’s shut down in recent memory
it was insanity
Full disclosure: I cant stand lebron, but that 3rd qtr was pure insanity. He was throwin up hot garbage, and it was only touching the bottom of the net. He has like 5 of those games a year. He is just so inconsistent from 18+ feet.
"However, I say, let UM burn." -onebarrelrum
in the 3rd
it was mostly him nailing jumpers. Eventually, they had to cover so he drifted further into the paint and had some nice assists.
Bosh on the other hand, he did WORK tonight. You have got to see the highlight of him going coast to coast. He was filthy tonight.
"However, I say, let UM burn." -onebarrelrum
First game back.
Scored all his 3s within the flow of the offense. Always open. 6-6 on 3s, and they were clean. Swish. While I loved the shots, I loved the energy even more. He saved at least 2 possessions by chasing rebounds headed out of bounds. I hate how often he gets hurt, but he plays with a passion that I cant complain about. Haslemesque tonight in that he was everywhere we needed him to be.
"However, I say, let UM burn." -onebarrelrum
Well, we shall see if they can put it all together.
I have my doubts, which probably sounds ridiculous considering how close they came. I feel the worst thing that can happen to them is that they get a big lead early. They completely turn it off, and Ive seen some bad habits this year that I hoped would have been eliminated after the choke jobs of last year.

everything about our offensive stats is awesome
not so much on defense, with the exception of steals

The Maryland team stayed on the court the ENTIRE GAME. I’ve never seen something like that before.

Thanks for inviting me out today. I really needed some time to stop worrying about my love life.

What a fantastic team effort! LL was playing as well at PG as I’ve seen him, and then several players in double digits, 3 with more than 16. Very nice game.

Just checked the box
is this the first game in 3 years we’ve won when giving up 50% or more? I remember the Gonzaga game in the tourney we also gave up exactly 50%, and a couple games last year (UNC comes to mind) that we lost.
