ESPN.com Previews the Terps

Here's Peter Newmann's take on the Terps this year, who he has pegged #13 in the country: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/news/story?id=2208598

Just a few notes about this piece.
1. He claims our only weaknesses is experience. I think our defense is a weakness too as we don't have many shotblockers. Granted Harper will help us out, but she's still only one player. Also, we are short on the perimeter which will allow bigger guards to shoot over us.
2. He stats the team has never achieved success with its current players. Again that's wrong, they went to the second round of the tournament two years in a row despite being the underdog (yes they played at home, but most of the experts predicted UWGB would win the game) In 2004, they were a 12 seed and were the only one to advance. Also they finished third in the ACC that year. Yes, the team has never beaten Duke or made it to the finals of the ACC Tournament, but it's hard when you rely on sophomores and freshman to carry the load. Should the team not make it to the Sweet 16 this year, then I can call it a failure.
