Melo Trimble is losing while Maryland wins. Guards make money in the tournament or lose it.

Hate to say it but, Kansas is gonna be a near impossible test for these guys.

Hope we can do a better job on the boards. UMDs ace in the hole could be drawing whistles and scoring free points at the line.

Bunch of haters in here like always
Good win over an underrated team even when their 3 ball wasn't falling

I think they will actually look better against Kansas.

Nah, the only thing that will matter some is how well he plays in Maryland's last game. Today, UMCP won and Bobbitt didn't do much.

That's fair- but you have to admit that Melo isn't "outplaying" his opponents. I want Melo to have a Kemba tournament!

Hawaii is a good defensive team so I'm not surprised by how ugly the game was.

Kansas will be tougher because Maryland won't be able to just win on talent alone.

Melo has so many great passes open to him off the pick and roll to the rolling big who's wide open. Kid needs to really watch film.

Rasheed Sulaimon was a great emotional leader in the 2nd half.

Melo "Ramon Sessions" Trimble

I think we'll be up to the task against Kansas simply because we couldn't possibly shoot as-poorly as we did tonight in the next game.

Me, too.

They're going to beat Kansas.

Not sure why people are ragging on Trimble for this game. He had one of his better games of the season with 24 points, 8 boards, and 3 assists - and was the clear team leader. And both of his turnovers could/should have been called fouls on Hawaii.

Maryland is going to be small at the point next season - with Cowan and Brantley both under 6' tall. I wouldn't mind them adding a transfer PG with good experience who can shoot.

In this hyper athletic warp speed NBA I don't see how a player like Stone fits in. In 1990 he'd be an ideal PF.

WizDynasty, wherever he is & God rest his soul, always made a big deal about quick twitch athleticism. I'm still not totally sure what that means, but w/e it is Stone lacks any quick twitch athleticism.

If Mitch McGary can be drafted 21st by OKC, Stone can have a nice career. He's not an amazing athlete but he's got a 7'4 wingspan and it's not like he's out of shape.

He just turned 19. Trimble is 21.

Diamond is a real young pup who I would also compare him to Demarcus Cousins. He has perimeter and ball handling skills that Maryland's horrible offense doesn't showcase.

Stone and Carter are very good offensively. Their offensive system stifles a bit their true gifts IMO. Turgeon has coached them down IMO.

You know who else this very board compared to Demarcus Cousins a few years ago? Kevin snaky Seraphin!! I think Seraphin is a good pro comp to Stone b/c I don't see a ton of effort or results on the glass, and more often than not Stone has a deer in the headlights look on the defensive end (very reminiscent of Seraphin). Maryland's development of Diamond Stone has nothing to do with rebounding. He's so physically imposing he should dominate the glass. Rebounding is nearly 100% effort & passion. Stone will get drafted and likely in the lottery, but I don't think he'll be a player in the league because there I don't see teams willing to play a plodding big man that doesn't gobble up every rebound or play exceptional defense.

That said I love the Terps and hope for the best tomorrow night. I'll be cheering for Stone and rest of the Terps till the end.

I think you have this board mixed up with a board that's probably better at scouting badminton. A plodding badminton board complete with shuttlecocks. Stone - as a freshman - has the best stats on Maryland. Seraphin, as a veteran - had among the very worst stats in the entire NBA in a couple of his seasons at Washington.

Btw, my comparison of Stone was to a poor-man's Cousins.

Terps?

Charlie Ward's gotta be the answer to a lot of trivia questions. It's amazing what he accomplished.

Heisman. Played for the Knicks. Was in one of the better NBA brawls; got "flipped" by PJ Brown. Charlie was a decent NBA player who I can't help but think probably could have played in not just the NFL but probably MLB as well.

Very good, high character guy off the field, too.
