Marquette's third game in Orlando could see them playing either Maryland or Temple, two teams that seem to be headed in the opposite direction. While Maryland is looking to build on a 6-seed with a preseason top-10 ranking, Temple will be hoping to get back into the bubble conversation after snagging one of the final NCAA bids a year ago.

Afternoon bump.
Thanks for the preview. Hopefully we are in that title game!

Would like to see how we fare against a team like Maryland that has its fair share of pogo sticks
Today we eat Turtle Soup! Two things to know about Maryland: one, like USC, they play fast, & two, they are worse than Davidson defending the three while allowing opponents to take a lot of threes.

Like MU (except USC), they start slow and do better in the 2nd. Tight match-up.

I'll be curious to see how they respond if we are able to punch them in the mouth and establish a lead. They responded against Rhode Island, Temple, & Harvard, but those teams don't defend as well as we do & Maryland isn't a great three point shooting team (beyond Cowan) so if we can turn it into a shooting contest that benefits us.
Should be a really good game, while they are ranked 5th, they haven't played a top-70 kenpom team yet. Big opportunity.
