Me, you and Dupree
I know that some of you might accuse me of Braxton bashing, but here's the deal:
Five minutes into the first half, Maryland center Braxton Dupree was subbed out for Dave Neal and didn't get back in until the start of the second half. Not that Dupree was totally at fault; he did have two rebounds and two blocks.
But after Neal went out, Dino Gregory came in for 10 minutes -- he didn't score either, but he had three blocks. Neal, by the way, missed two easy layups right after coming into the game. Neither Jerome Burney nor Steve Goins got out of their warmups.
It will be interesting to see how Dupree does before Williams pulls him again. He has been active, just picking up a rebound and nearly making a steal. But he seems to have forgotten how to score.
Oops, Dupree just got stripped going up for a layup and Willams signaled for Gregory, who just went in at 16:59. It was only a coincidence that Dupree picked up his third foul right before. He was coming out anyway.
And, oh yes, neither team has scored for nearly the first 3 1/2 minutes of the second half with Maryland leading by two.

Well its refreshing to see that NOTHING has changed on the court. We could have Ben Wallace and Koby Bryant and still not score. Gary's favorite time of year has to be the offseason.

That's ridiculous to see that they had to go into OT against VERMONT!!! The first game I'll get to see them play is against MSU, hopefully it's not a complete waste of time!!!

Marcus-
I really can't stand posts like yours. Get off your high horse. These are COLLEGE athletes. Are you really an expert to tell me how good or bad vermont is anyway? North carolina lost to Santa Clara the same season they dominated and won the NCAA tournament.
Give these tennagers and young men a break and enjoy the game. What a way to undermine an incredible comeback and potential confidence booster so early in the season for a very young team.
I'm guessing you ARE NOT an athlete

Markus (with a K's response). -- If you noticed, the post was sent early in the second half, long before the Terps completed their comeback and long after Dupree had been benched for the second time that night. I wanted to answer you before I go play pickup basketball tonight.
