Maryland-Florida State Preview

The Terps welcome Florida State to the Comcast Center tonight looking continue to win in the ACC coming off a 87-80 win against NC State on Sunday. A win tonight would bring the Terps to a 7-6 record in the ACC and potentially move them up in the ACC tournament bracket. The Seminoles (9-3 in the ACC) look to keep pace with Duke and North Carolina at the top of the conference standings, sitting one game behind the Tar Heels (10-2 in the ACC) and in shooting distance of the Blue Devils (12-1 in the ACC) at the top of the ACC slate.

Maryland will continue to rely on big performances by Jordan Williams and hope that freshman Terrell Stoglin continues to shine after being named ACC Rookie of the Week. Stoglin had a pair of 25-point games (Virginia Tech, NC State) an is averaging 19.8 points and 6.5 assists in his last four games. The Terps have also improved their free throwing shooting in recent games after starting off the year with dismal free throw shooting numbers. They have had a .898 free throw percentage in their last two games, a mark that coach Gary Williams and Terps fans are glad to see.

Florida State is looking for another great balanced team effort coming off their 84-66 win over Wake Forest on Saturday. Four 'Noles scored at least 13 points in the contest (Bernard James, Okaro White, Deividas Dulkys, and Ian Miller) and will hope to stay hot tonight against the Terps. They will miss Chris Singleton tonight, their great All-American candidate and defending ACC Defensive Player of the Year.

The Terps are hoping to win a big game against a tough, top-tier ACC foe tonight over Florida State. Maryland rounds out their ACC schedule with games at North Carolina and Miami and a home tilt with Virginia. Florida State will look to keep their spot near the top of the ACC and win for the first time at the Comcast Center.
