Early malfunctions

The scoreboard is not the only thing not working tonight at Comcast Center.

The Maryland offense isn't working very well early on against Youngstown State.

The Terps didn't miss their first eight shots as they did against Bucknell last Friday in the season opener.

This time they just missed five and two free throws and committed a couple of turnovers.

Gary Williams yanked Cliff Tucker and Braxton Dupree pretty quickly, putting in Sean Mosley and Dave Neal.

Dupree was getting beaten inside by Jack Liles, a 6-8 banger from Odenton.

The scoreboard got fixed -- some guy just plugged a few wires in underneath the press table and, voila -- and the Terps seem to be coming around.

It took 3 1/2 minutes for Maryland to get its first basket -- a steal and dunk by Eric Hayes.

Mosley has given the Terps some energy, hitting a jumper in the lane, taking a charge and getting a couple of rebounds. It took a little more than 7 1/2 minutes for Maryland to even the score at 10-10.

Jin Soo Kim is coming in.

I'll have more at halftime.
