Terps take on Youngstown State

Tommorow night, the Terps play their 2nd game of the season against Youngstown State. It should be a pretty easy game for the team, but it's never good to overlook anyone. The game is at Comcast Center and can be caught on WMUCsports.com at 8 PM. Kenny Gartner and I are studio hosting the game, and the pre-game starts around 7:40.

Hopefully Gary plays the starters a considerable amount, even if it's a blowout early. I doubt it will be, considering how the Terps usually start off. Regardless, I'm hoping to see the starters play together; if they can gel early in the season they will be firing on all cylinders come ACC tournament play.

I will be updating this as much as I can during the game, and will offer some post-game thoughts as well.


Postgame thoughts:

What a game for Greivis Vasquez. He tied his career-high with 28 points. He was all over the court tonight and the Terps offense ran through him.

And despite a poor offensive game from forward Braxton Dupree, his defense was superb. He held the Penguins' frontcount to a terrible offensive game. The perimeter defense was outstanding as well, holding the Penguins to an abysmal 0-13 from 3-point land.

Landon Milbourne fouled out and was pretty cold tonight. A mere 6 points and only 2-4 shooting. Hopefully it was just a bad night.

Overall a good game for the Terps. Their defense played great and Vasquez was in midseason form.
