Tonight – The Terps visit Clemson tonight. Clemson had a tough loss last time out against Virginia, coming up losers 85-81 in overtime. Meanwhile, the Terps played their best game in a while beating VT by 10 in College Park.

Tonight, I expect Clemson to continue their traditional swoon, with the Terps having an above average shooting night and getting a tough road win. At the moment, the Terps are 1-4 in true road games. Saturday UNC comes to town and next Wednesday at 9p is Duke.

Last Time – Thanks to Fuzzy and Mario for their comments on the blog. Also to Ira and Neil who signed up as readers. I appreciate all of the feedback that I get and hope you all enjoy reading.

Jeff Allen, the VT center who gave the middle finger to the fans in Comcast Center as he fouled out of the game, has been suspended for a game by VT basketball.

Dave Dickerson, the former Terp player and assistant coach who was most recently the head coach at Tulane is rumored to be re-joining the Maryland staff. Just a rumor for now. The rumor has it that he would be named the head coach in waiting.

Born Ready, still lists Maryland in his top three. Now he also wants to visit Wake Forest and UCLA. Add that to the murky mix of St Johns, Louisville, Kansas and USC. Those in the know have it a Maryland / St Johns race. Lance had promised to make a decision by March 21st.

Also, Lance is the #1 scorer in NY high school basketball. He recently passed Sebastian Telfair, recently of the Portland TrailBlazers.
