Pregame: Illinois vs Maryland, Wednesday, January 21st, 6:00pm CT, BTN
- Status
Turtles host Penn State tomorrow morning at 11 AM on BTN.
This is going to be a bloodbath. Illini by 30+
Underwood is what, 3-9 against Maryland?
Would do wonders for my blood pressure.
Their games are legitimately not even competitive this year. They're horrid.

You would think after our Minnesota performance, the short term plan for this team would seem pretty straight forward ... get right vs. Maryland, and go knock off Purdue at Mackey. This is not a trap game ... it's a game where we should have a bit of a tune up. Oddly enough, I am more confident about this one after today. Ranking is my guess, BTW:
#9 Illinois 89
Maryland 64
lol. Expect another rock fight.

First things first-give these guys until Sunday night off, then really light stuff. Need to get guys healthy and fresh after two weeks of having games on ~2 days rest or so.
Having this Saturday afternoon to Wednesday night gap should help us.

I think we win this similar to Rutgers game.. Maryland is BAD bad, and Brad will have these guys ready. Hopefully no one gets more than 30 minutes and we’re rested and ready for Purdue next werkend

We should definitely pass up Vandy and Iowa State for sure, and then possibly BYU, MSU, Gonzaga, or Duke should they lose?
Mr. Scott Richey, I’m on your bumper now my friend I will have to say something if I see a team like UNC ahead of us in your AP vote again. Do the right thing don’t leave iowa state ahead of us

Yet I watched them best Marquette pretty easily up in Fiserv a month ago. Though as others here have said, that probably says more about Marquette than Maryland.
Same! (Frederick Co) *at least for now. Lived here 19 years, but currently house hunting in WV.
Terps fans are unbearable.

WV gets a lot of grief, but it’s a beautiful state.
Game 2 of an upcoming 8-game winning streak. Bury the Terps.
Let’s break the bad karma we have had against the Turtles. We need to clean their clock and get ready for a battle in Mackey.
Yep I still remember that game where the UM guard tied us up with only seconds left with a long 3 and we played for the last shot but that same dude stole the ball and was freak fouled with only a second left so we had to walk down to the other side and he nailed the FT to beat us NEED REVENGE FOR THAT GAME! shoulda won that game

Maryland has somehow had our number in the past. Facts!!
Good thing we can kick their butts twice this year.

You know this could be a very important game in a strange way? I think if BU is willing/able to play Petro say 10 -13 minutes in this game, it could be huge for the future. You in essence bring a brand new piece to the end of the year. Oh, and by the way the guy is a pro and brings a totally different skill set that any other player on the team. The upside is very high if we can get his head right and get BU to trust him at least a little in the middle of games?
