We are sort of beat up after this recent stretch of games, especially Tyler. The weeks break after this game is a blessing. I also hate the time. Right smack dab in the middle of the day. I can't go shopping unless I want to miss the pre-game. And I don't. I hope the guys are up to this though. We are sort of beat up after this recent stretch of games, especially Tyler.

Especially when the opponent is Maryland. Throw all the stats out for this one. I have been accurate in predicting the last two games, post Duke (not that I was happy to be right, since they were both a little too tight for my taste), and I just can't see everything magically clicking in this one. I foresee a game where our shots simply don't fall and we have to scramble. Maryland hits more threes than usual, and grab those dreaded long rebounds on the missed threes. Still, I look for the combination of Danny Green and Tyler Hansbrough to bail us out. I see Tyler having one of those 10-12 free throw lines and somewhere between 5-6 made FG. Danny could have his biggest offensive game of the season, for I see some matchup problems on the Maryland end. But I have the feeling that Maryland will get some bigtime breaks and this one will be yet another barn-burner. Ugh…I love my Heels…LOVE THEM, but man do I hate ANY Saturday afternoon slots!

Right on Rath, we should have another pg for Lawson to devour in this one. They have game that I like, but you need athletes that can break down defense in order to defeat us, and I just don't see it with them. However, I am nervous. Funny how I am most nervous about these games leading to the Duke game, rather than the Duke game itself. If we win out before then, it's like who cares about the Duke game? We have it clinched.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing, but there it was. I'm also leary of Gary Williams, who seems to rise to the occasion in big games like this. Still, we're considerably better. Maryland lost James Gist to graduation, and he was their best tall player. It's hard to lose to a team with only one legitimate scorer (hard but not impossible, as we have learned to our sorrow), and Vasquez isn't as good as the very top flight guards in the league who've been such menaces to us this season. Not for nothing are the Terps known around Washington, D.C. as the Terriblepins. So for all my nervousness, I have to think we'll be just fine. I also expect some defensive improvements, given Roy's explosion after the last game. I still have heartburn over last year’s inexplicable loss to Maryland in Chapel Hill.

(We live in the DC area) Me and my trusty Carolina sweatshirt are heading to the Comcast Center in a couple hours! Hope to see at least a few other UNC fans there. This will be the first time I've ever seen a game outside of the Dean Dome! So my awesome fiance surprised we with tickets to the game as a birthday present!
