Game 6: Gardner-Webb (Junkanoo Jam

After two days of fun in the sun, the Terps get down to business tonight looking to capture their second tournament in as many weekends. Tonight we play Garnder-Webb out of the Atlantic Sun conference. They enter the season with a record of 2-2 with wins over Montreat and South Carolina State. Based on their stats this game should be just like the Mason game. GW is shooting a little over 20 % from behind the arc and 35% overall. They only score 53.8 points per game and turn the ball over 20+ times. Looking at their roster, they have two players over 6' and neither of which has played yet. Their best two players are Shameka Smith and Brittany Harmon, which average double-digit point and eight rebounds per game. Both of them are post players and don't shoot from behind the arc.


Keys to the game

  • End the game early. If Ole Miss wins they like to run the floor and we will need fresh legs as that will be the fifth game in eight days.
  • Take care of the ball. I hope the 20 turnover games are behind us now.
  • Get Toliver and Coleman back in rhythym. Looks like sophomore slumps for both of them at this point, but this is a game where they can get back on track.

    Remember if you aren't watching the games live, you should be able to listen to them via umterps.com (There is also a GameTracker link - so that may work too).
