Last chance for me to see the Bucks before they're relegated to the regional network that still hasn't managed to cover all of Ohio after 10 years. Hoping there's no letdown - protect the house!

Fear not, both of the Indiana games and ttun away will not be televised on BTN. If you are not living in "God's country", you might get BTN.

Maryland is nothing special this year. If we stop Cowan and maintain our intensity, we should win this one. If we suffer a left over from the Sparty game, we will get beat. Pretty simple.

According to the computers, records, and common opponents, we are fairly equal with the Turtles. This game being in Columbus, I can only come to the conclusion that we are favored and should win this one. I think the win over Sparty helps this team believe in itself, and I am hoping for a 5-10 point victory.

We'll know even more about the Bucks after tonight. Sloppy game or not, if they come out of this one with a win, we are actually looking at contending for the B1G regular-season title! Have to hold serve at the Schott.
