NCAA Tournament Chances: 75%
NBA Chances: Vasquez (mid first rounder in 2009)
Projected Record Heading into Tournament: 21 - 12 (at WF on Thursday will be the first of four consecutive wins)
Projected Seed: 7
This team looks tired.
If the season ended today, Maryland would be NIT-bound.
Vasquez is shooting 28% from 3-point range in ACC play.
Hayes is shooting 44%.
Gist and Osby have taken way too many fade-away shots over the past two weeks. Gist seems to be timid in taking it to the rack and avoids contact unnecessarily. Teams have gone to tape school on Osby and have taken away his game by pushing him farther out when he catches the ball in the half-court set. Osby with the ball eight or more feet from the basket is the opposite of a scoring threat.
Gist is struggling to play with his back to the basket; he is in desperate need of a drop-step move from the block.
Why did it take 28 freakin' games to discover Jerome Burney? He had 14 consecutive DNPs (coaches decision) heading into today's game. He played very well in twelve minutes and is a better option defensively than Shane Walker.
I think we have seen the last of Dave Neal - addition by subtraction.
