http://www.turtle-soup.com/ This is the website syndication feed for the Turtle-Soup.com That was a big win for Mark Turgeon and the Maryland Terrapins.  The PATHETIC home crowd notwithstanding, the Terps came through in the clutch.  It was heartening to see.  Good teams improve as the season goes on and that is what happened this evening.  Instead of the last 5 minutes being the Terrell Stoglin show, the Terps shared the ball and got everyone involved.  Padgett, Faust, and Pankey all made big plays.  Padgett had a key block, Padgett had the old fashioned three point play off a ... http://www.turtle-soup.com//1929/2012/02/21/terps-get-big-win-vs-miami-75-70/ Turtle-Soup.com 2/21/2012 8:09:42 PM The last time the Terps played Miami, the good folks at Category6 were kind enough to participate in a Q&A about the game.  Well, we've reprised the format for the rematch.  We'll start with my questions and Cat6's responses end with the reverse.  Category6 has cross-posted this on their site as well. Here goes:  TS: The last game these two teams played resulted in a double overtime thriller. What did you learn about the Canes and what did you learn about the Terps from that game? C6: I ... http://www.turtle-soup.com//1928/2012/02/21/miami-qa-and-game-thread/ Turtle-Soup.com 2/21/2012 8:56:56 AM  The Terps are getting better.  Despite losing PeShon Howard, the Terps cruised past BC on Thursday in what may have been their most complete game of the season.  The Terps got out in front early and they were able to maintain the lead for the entire game. Virginia, on the other hand, is coming off back to back losses including a double digit loss at Clemson.  Surely, the Cavaliers will be desperate for a win. Personally, I'd like nothing more than to beat UVA.  In the past, I've never look... http://www.turtle-soup.com//1925/2012/02/18/maryland-heads-to-uva-for-big-clash/ Turtle-Soup.com 2/18/2012 8:38:33 AM  The Terps open up a huge four game stretch this evening when they host BC.  In succession, the Terps are home with BC, at UVA, home vs. Miami and at Georgia Tech. If the Terps go 4-0, they are on the bubble.  That would put the Terps at 8-6 in the ACC and 18-10 overall.  It starts tonight.  BC is terrible and the Terps must beat them.  It's a quick turnaround as the Terps go to Charlottesville for a 1pm start on Saturday.  Win there, and the season gets really interesting. http://www.turtle-soup.com//1924/2012/02/16/bc-thread/ Turtle-Soup.com 2/16/2012 2:37:58 PM Just one year ago, it was all smiles for Terp fans and Danny O'Brien.  He was coming off a great freshman season and us fans were looking at 3 more years of possibly our best QB since Scott McBrien.   Now he's gone. And he is sprinting out the door. And I don't blame him one bit. While the future may be better for the football program after a shockingly successful recruiting class, it could not have been worse in the first year of the Randy Edsall era.  Edsall may end up learning from his mi... http://www.turtle-soup.com//1922/2012/02/13/happy-trails-dob/ Turtle-Soup.com 2/13/2012 5:13:20 PM  Well, the Terps are up against it now. Pe'shon Howard is lost for the year, and with him went our only reliable ball handler.  How can the Terps go on? Here's the case.  Pe was the Terps 4th or 5th best scorer.  He turned the ball over a lot for a PG he wasn't shooting that well from the floor.  As long as someone (Faust, Stoglin, or Mosley) can get them into the half court offense, they should be fine. Of course, I'd much prefer Pe to be out there, but I think the Terps can survive. Besides,... http://www.turtle-soup.com//1921/2012/02/11/beat-duke-please/ Turtle-Soup.com 2/11/2012 11:53:45 AM The headline says it all.  Jeff Ermann is reporting that Howard is out for the year.  That's about the worst news the Terps could get heading into tomorrow's Duke game. This is terrible news for a great kid like Pe'Shon who's already fought back from injury once this year.  I've been saying for weeks that the Terps have serious point guard problems to solve this offseason and now the situation just got worse.  Howard is likely not going to be able to rehab until late summer at the earliest.... http://www.turtle-soup.com//1920/2012/02/10/peshon-howard-out-for-year-with-torn-acl/ Turtle-Soup.com 2/10/2012 3:26:56 PM  Stefon Diggs, the 5th highest ranked football recruit in the nation is making his college choice public today at Looney's in College Park at 6pm this evening. All signs point to either Florida or Maryland as the choice.  Can you imagine, if he came to College Park and went with Florida.  That would be some kick in the balls, huh?  In fact, I'd equate it with Lebron James' infamous "Decision" where he went on national TV to tell Cleveland fans that he was "taking his talents to South Beach". C... http://www.turtle-soup.com//1919/2012/02/10/stefon-diggs-announcement-thread/ Turtle-Soup.com 2/10/2012 11:05:59 AM It finally happened for the first time in eight games.  The Terps pulled one off on the road.  Although, before the buzzer, our Jeckyl and Hyde Terps were at it again.  Over the final eight minutes, the Terps gave away a 14 point lead.  Clemson had a shot to win it at the end.  Unbelievable.  I can't figure this team out. Over the first 30 minutes of every game, the Terps look like one of the best teams in the ACC.  Over the final 10 minutes, they look like the absolute worst team in college... http://www.turtle-soup.com//1918/2012/02/07/terps-nab-elusive-road-win-vs-tigers/ Turtle-Soup.com 2/7/2012 8:03:31 PM Here we go again.  Another winnable road test for the Terps.  Our young Terps have been able to hang in with just about everyone they've played over the last month.  Unfortunately, they've come away with only one win.  That must change tonight if the Terps will harbor any hopes of the postseason (that includes NIT).  This least five games have been frustrating.  The Terps seem close to putting it all together; but they lack the ability to close.  There are many theories.  they range ... http://www.turtle-soup.com//1917/2012/02/07/clemson-game-thread/ Turtle-Soup.com 2/7/2012 2:43:27 PM
