Maryland vs. UNC Greensboro Pre-Game Report

The Terrapins welcome the winless UNC Greensboro Spartans to the Comcast Center looking to rebound from a tough loss at the hands of Temple in the BB&T Classic Sunday at the Verizon Center. Coach Gary Williams will be looking for his team to get off to a more fast start tonight as Maryland allowed Temple to jump out to a 32-21 lead at the half Sunday night. The Terps were able to nearly overcome the adversity of a large deficit in the second half, but fell 64-61 to the Owls in a tough contest.

Jordan Williams continues to be a force contributing double-doubles nearly every night so far for Maryland. He will be counted on again tonight coming off a 17 point and 11 rebound performance at the BB&T Classic. Terrell Stoglin fueled a near Terps comeback Sunday with 12 of his 16 points in the second half. The Terrapins will continue to look for Stoglin and fellow freshman Pe'Shon Howard to provide a spark off the bench against the Spartans tonight. Starters Sean Mosley and Adrian Bowie will look to expand their leadership roles as expected this year tonight while Stoglin and Howard are continuing to perform behind them in the rotation. Cliff Tucker will try to bounce back from just one field goal against the Owls Sunday.

UNC Greensboro has had a very tough start this year, remaining winless through seven games. The Spartans have had a difficult time controlling the tempo of games and that has translated to the scoreboard. After losing to some ACC competition (Florida State and Virginia Tech early on) and starting off 0-2 in the Southern Conference the UNCG has had some real dry spells offensively while allowing opponents to reel off big runs. The Spartans really need to concentrate on hanging around for the balance of games to start finding success this year. Aloysius Henry, Kyle Randall, and Brandon Evans will look to keep tonight's game competitive while keeping the Terps in check on the defensive end along with help from David Williams and Aaron Brackett.

The Terps will be looking to bounce back tonight against a winless UNCG team looking for a big upset. Check in right here on the WMUC Sports Men's Basketball Blog for updates and listen to the live broadcast on WMUCSports.com!
