Terps Move Up to 9th in SI Power Rankings

It looks like Tracy Schultz was impressed with us last week, but not impressed to move us into the top 8 of her Power Rankings. The Terps sit at ninth and here is what she had to say:

The Terrapins proved they can compete with the top teams, playing Tennessee close before losing in the Paradise Jam final, 80-75, on Saturday. If the early trend continues, Maryland may be one of the most balanced teams in the country. Five players are averaging double figures on offense, including Shay Doron and Marissa Coleman, who lead the team with 16 points a game.

My one beef with this poll is that she claims Tennessee has beaten it's first five opponents so badly. Last time I checked, UT was lucky to come out of that game with a win.
