Must keep Reese from dominating inside and Young from going off. If the Illini can do that they win 81-77

Bad matchup for us. Gotta stick with Young and fight through screens. I can't see us winning this one but I'm hoping like heck I'm wrong

Coaching staff going to be under the microscope on this one. We know MD is capable of creating favorable mismatches from the first game. The staff needs to show they can stay a step ahead of the other bench. No excuses for these next four games.

If Illini can't beat Maryland they are not a sweet 16 team. ILLINI are the better team and they just need to do it.

Harris-Smith gaining confidence fast.. we need to make sure that doesn’t continue. Trap Reese and give different looks to Young. I’d like to see Coleman blitz him to give TSJ a second to get back on him. Just do whatever possible to make him pass

Snow storm (and hopefully the last of this winter season) is moving through the area overnight until about 6 AM. Hope it does not affect the game time and travel plans. The people here are wimps when it comes to a couple of inches of snow.

It is. Wisconsin didn't see their ugly streak coming, but our next games just scream pain. I hope the guys bring it.

It's a tragedy. That was one of the great college basketball programs and taking them out of the conference where they belonged and had ancient passionate blood feuds with their opponents has destroyed their raison d'être

Duke @ Maryland used to be the must-see TV event of the year just to see how hilariously badly behaved their student section would be.

Exactly, never forget that national championship team. And of course Len Bias

Unable to watch this one live. Dinner plans. Perhaps a good thing? I'll go against my pessimistic self.

We cover, and we end the curse! But the defense has to improve to get the W.

TSJ is getting back old form and playing so well that the media team couldn't help but include him on the Maryland "It's Gameday!" tweet....I mean, it's the bottom half of his face and the top half of the 0 in a faded background, but it's something ;)

He was literally the main guy in the winning graphic after the Michigan game. And he was featured in the pre game shoot around pictures as well.
