12 SDSU vs. 5 Maryland, Spokane

Re: 12 SDSU vs. 5 Maryland, Spokane

Going to be tough to overcome their size. Will clearly take SDSU's best effort of the year and even then they may just overpower the Jackrabbits. The obvious has been stated, have to make 3's, rebound and defend like crazy and hope Maryland has an off night from the field and is careless with the ball. They've proven they can do that.

Spokane is a long ways from South Dakota, its a lot longer ways from Maryland. I anticipate we will have some neutral fans backing the Jacks if SDSU can stay in the game into the second half. Can't have a debacle like IPFW had with San Diego State last night. That was terrible.

If we have an IPFW performance something is wrong. That was horrible. The minute the other SDSU got them down by 10 it was over. You could see it in the body language, the style of play, and the attitude. I took it as, "we had NDSU beat in the SLT, we fell apart and we still haven't gotten over it".

If we can take a lead or keep it close we will have the crowd behind us. I don't expect to see a lot of MD fans in the stands..

I saw it last night and thought it was pretty cool. I especially loved how he begged the Terrapins to win the game. Let's make SVP wear more blue!

So excited for the game!!!

He's a mensch.

He really is a good dude, and a true fan. Posts on the MD board occasionally, and is the more even-tempered fan I'd like to be.

Just curious, where do you see this? Are you referring to the fan vote percentage that you can look at when filling out a bracket?

It was in their Giant Killer upsets to watch in the South Region article. It is in insider article.

Here is our section of the article.

Entering Selection Sunday, Maryland was dangling at the end of a pole, just waiting for a worthy predator to claim its prize. Instead, the Jackrabbits showed up. As we mentioned in the East preview, if Maryland had faced Chattanooga, our model says there would have been a 52.1 percent chance of an upset. Arkansas-Little Rock would have had a 24.3 percent chance of knocking off the Terps. But our model sees South Dakota State as a schoolyard bully -- a decent team designed to rule a weak conference, rather than challenge bigger programs. Simply put, the Jackrabbits don't take enough risks. They take 3-pointers on 36.2 percent of field goals, which is only slightly above the national average. They force turnovers on just 17.1 percent of possessions. They do their best work on the boards, where 6-9 Mike Daum (15.2 points per game, 6.1 rebounds per game) has them ranked in the top 100 at both ends. And that could prove valuable against a Maryland team that is ranked 160th in offensive rebounding and 152nd in defensive rebounding, despite having Diamond Stoneand Robert Carter inside.
But the real way to beat Maryland is to expose its horrible turnover differential. The Terps cough it up on 19.1 percent of possessions and get it back just 16.5 percent of the time. South Dakota State's conservative defense isn't built to exploit those ball-handling weaknesses, though. So even though Generic Killers (South Dakota State's family) beat Generic Giants (Maryland's family) 32 percent of the time, South Dakota State's weak arsenal keeps this upset percentage low. If the Jackrabbits are able to defy the odds, it will likely require a lot of help from Maryland.

I don't think I've seen this posted: http://www.testudotimes.com/maryland...ment-mike-daum

Another article about Daum and what Maryland needs to do to stop him.

ESPN says we have a 6.1 percent chance to upset maryland.
