11-6 on Terp games this season
Terps get into full swing in the ACC tonight as FSU comes to town; Terps are -5.5 and there is no total yet. I expect the total to be in the low 140's.
My Terps rolled VT Saturday and really didn't play that well. Now I admit, if VT is even a middle of the pack team in the ACC this season, I'll be very surprised but any ACC win of 20+ is notable. Two freshmen scored 43 of our points....very nice.
FSU has had a very mediocre start to the season. Actually, mediocre might be kind based on what Leonard hamilton has come to expect. Getting beaten by Auburn, MERCER and crushed at home by Florida is not impressive, not close. FSU seems to be looking for an identity and they don't appear to have a floor leader and I think like most years, there is some circle jerk going on about talent they just might not have.
FSU has some VERY big bodies in the frontcourt, even bigger than the Terps. They have two guys right at 7 feet tall that play, we have one. We have some big bodies that will be just fine as FSU has a really weak rebounding margin number with that size being considered. If they are soft and I think they are, the two Charles Barkley's (Shaq and Mitchell) on our team are going to F uck them up.
FSU has Snaer and everyone drools on him. I personally don't care and let me cut to the chase, I'm insulted by this line. As I have been telling you guys, we have to make our money now as the Terps have not been disrespected as hard as they are tonight in a long time. -5.5.........really?? What impresses Vegas? The Gulf Coast or the Mercer loss? The win at Clemson this past Saturday? The same Clemson team that scored ten points in a HALF last night??
We have cut down the turnovers as that had to happen. FSU will get some easy baskets tonight because we can be a train wreck with the ball handling at times. That being said, when you have 18+ assist a game and share the ball this well, the assist to turnover ratio doesn't look bad at all. Rebounding.....please. They are about even +/- in margin, we are top 5 in the country. Hostile crowd, overrated FSU, soft on the boards, no real stud that we can't at least slow down, our depth is sick (two guys at ever position, who do you key on?), Len hasn't even come close to playing his best yet (lottery pick), Wells can go for 25 at the drop of a hat........F uck VEGAS! I am pounding my boys tonight. Triple play. I never do this but I really thought this line would be -9+. I really don't get it. This line says that if played on a neutral court, the line is one basket. That is hillarious!
Terps -5.5 (TRIPLE PLAY)
Terps -3 first half (DOUBLE PLAY)
