As Maryland picks up the pieces from another disappointing finish, it's easy to see what needs to be fixed. The hard part is how to do it between now and November.

"Ourselves and N.C. State were probably the two slowest teams in the ACC," coach Gary Williams said. "And physically, we need to get stronger."

The problem is that James Gist and Bambale Osby, the fastest and strongest players on the team, respectively, are out of eligibility. But the Terps have now missed the NCAA Tournament three of the last four years, and their 19-15 final record simply isn't good enough.

Williams' job isn't in jeopardy, but there is no question Maryland is wedged in an era of mediocrity. Within the last few years, the Terps have lost out on Maryland natives Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant and Michael Beasley. Durant and Beasley, of course, could be consecutive Players of the Year in college basketball. Those two certainly could have pulled Maryland out of its current funk.

Instead, it will be up to sophomores Greivis Vasquez and Eric Hayes to grow and mature. The process started this season and must continue through the offseason for Maryland to compete in the always-competitive ACC.

"We've got to have the younger guys step up and get stronger physically," Williams said, "and make a commitment to be basketball players 365 days a year."

Well the Terps got their national ranking and proved that they didn't deserve it. Atleast not yet. We played two very good basketball teams and we got beat by both of them. Free throws were a main concern in both of those games and are something that the Terps are really going to need to work on. Jordan Williams is possibly the worst free throw shooter I've ever seen and that is something he ne ...(more)

Stanrod would have not be proclaim an homer, or an idiot, or dumb by you so call Maryland fans out there. 

Bottom line: The Terps were not prepared to play.  Cincy, or the Badgers are teams that are good but Maryland should have beaten them.  What I see from my Terps is leadership problems, and toughness.  In order to compete you got to have 2 things; Seniors that r

The Cincinnati/Wisconsin games have got to be the worst free throw, 3-point, and rebounding performances I have ever seen from the Terps.
Everything went wrong in the Cincinnati game, Mosley missed about 14 points in lay-ups, Milbourne was on the bench in foul trouble, and GV, oh boy!! I would rather GV avg. 4 points a game and win like the first four games, rather than shoot the ball 19 t ...(more)

Because we got 2 freshman bigs who haven't gotten their feet wet at all?
Because our star from last year doesn't seem to care anymore, and is only focused on impressing nba scouts?
Because the average team from last year would suddenly morph into a top 25 team in the offseason?
Why in gods name are we ranked? Who did we beat? Look, we just lost to 2 real teams. This club is on the l

Stanrod is a complete idiot.  He's pissed people off on multiple messge boards already this season.  I'm from Rockville, MD, don't root for the terps, but I know Terp fans aren't anything like him (or her), but for now I'm just leaving one message to Stanrod: Keep off the message boards and don't ruin the reputation of good Terp fans everywhere.  All in all I think the Ter ...(more)

We had a good game lastnight, but it was a rough first half. Chaminade has a good team and that small point guard they had was really good. But the Terps took control in the second half and now we play the Bearcats. Cincinnati upset a very good Vanderbilt team yesterday, so this is going to be a tough game. And we get to play against Lance Stephenson, who dissed us during recruiting. I watched him ...(more)

Okay, I was wrong about the Terps beating up on Cincy.  As mention nothing is won in Nov, let us see if Cincy will be that good this year.  I don't think so.  The Terps will have a better season.  Gary has never been all that successful against Big East Teams.  Thier style of play is very wack, this is why the Big East doesn't boast many National Titles.  Wisconsin li ...(more)

I'll be the 1st to admit that I don't know to much about the Wisconsin Badgers.  They suffered their 1st loss last night to Gonzaga, and meet the Terps in the 3rd place game.

Looking at the Badger's team page, they seem to only have 2 legitimate scoring threats:  Jon Leuer and Trevon Hughes.  In fact, only six players scored in their loss to the Zags.

Maui Invitational time!!! The Terps have played this tournament many times and I think this is the year they actually win it. We start off with Chaminade and if we beat them, we play the winner of Vanderbilt/Cincinnati. I really hope we play Cincinnati because I want to go against Lance Stephenson. Stephenson blew MD off and decided his "born ready" attitude was better else where. Wel ...(more)

 Is anyone else a little bothered by Grievis' complete inability to score? Is this just him not putting in the effort against the cupcakes on the schedule or is he not the same player? I'm sure when it comes time to go he'll show up, but what if he can't find his rhythm when the Terps aren't favored by 20+ points?

Welcome back Eric Hayes!!! He played a great game against Fairfield and it is nice to see him back in the scoring bracket. He also had some very nice passes. Sean Mosley played an outstanding game too and he is definately looking like a breakout star. Jordan Williams had a great game and had an monster block but was called for a b.s. foul. Once again, Vasquez struggled to score, but he'll come aro ...(more)

Terps will go into Maui feeling very good, but to play the worse team in the field and to get no press coverage like the sorry ass Orangemen is just crazy.  I guess we can stay low under the radar for now.  Tobias should have been a Terp, why on earth go to Tenn.  Something was not right and Gary didn't fight hard enough to get this kid.  He might be one and done, but who ca ...(more)

I would love for Dino to get back on the court, we do need his size and his experience would help to make the front court depth even better.  Tonight I was really impress with Padgett, and Williams.  They look hungry something these Terps need to make at run at any thing.  I will not get to excited about the first game because the opponent was weak.  Terps could have won by 50 ...(more)

No worries Vasquez is off to a slow start.  It took Vasquez about 5+ games to get going.  We could use Dino Gregory big time.  We need some shot blockers and Dino was starting to become a presence down low.  Gary need to get this guy back on the team to make the Terps complete.  What is the deal, this is just stupid.  Gary has a good squad but you a missing a guy that ...(more)
