    After winning a thrilling game over UConn the Florida Gators now know their Sweet Sixteen opponent–the Maryland Terrapins. While Florida’s matchup with the Huskies had its fair share of drama it was nothing close to what happened in Maryland’s thrilling win over Colorado State to advance to see the Gators. Colorado State, a 12-seed who only made the Tournament after winning the Mountain West autobid, was leading for much of the game until Maryland was able to go up by 2 in the final minute. With just 6 seconds left Colorado State’s Jalen Lake hit a massive three-pointer to put the Rams up by a single point, leaving Maryland without any options. Then, in the final possession of the game, freshman Derik Queen had an isolation in the middle of the floor that saw his driving attempt largely cut off, re-routing him towards the baseline and further from the hoop. With time expiring he rose up and put up an off-balanced prayer, and as the buzzer sounded–it kissed off the glass and fell through the net, giving Maryland a thrilling buzzer-beating victory.

    Looking forward to this game tonight. They eeked out a comeback win Sunday when a lot of things went wrong. Now they've travelled across the country and have to deal with jet lag. But I'm honestly expecting them to play one of their better games this year and win by 10 or so.

    I keep hoping to see Urban hit 6 threes in a game one of these days.

    The problem is that the film is out on Klavzar and teams aren't going to let him get an open look. He's deadly when he can square his shoulders and get a clean shot, but down the stretch other coaches have seen that and keep extra pressure on him so he has to force shots. Also, he works hard, but I think he's somewhat of a defensive liability compared to Martin & Richard. However, I'll take and appreciate help and good games from any player on the team as long as the Gators win.

    Ball gets poked out from him while dribbling when he plays pg. He's probably better as a sg. He needs to find an open spot in the perimeter and wait for a pass. Then let the ball fly if he's open.

    I think he still not 100% comfortable but I love the way he's flying around. It maybe he's trying so hard on defense he's sped up a bit on offense. But yeah the opposition is tight on him.

    I don't know if Golden will let him play much 2 but he might be deadly there.

    If ever there was a time to run, it’s this one. In a tight game with Colorado State, Maryland played every starter 33 minutes and no sub played more than 10 minutes.

    Can’t wait to see our bigs man up against Queen. I think he’ll be shocked at the pressure he gets from Chiny, Condo, Micah, Tommy and (hopefully) Sam.
