The Terps Hit the Road tonight for the first time this season. Their opponent: the UMBC Retrievers. Tip-off in Baltimore is scheduled for 7 PM.

Not only is this Maryland's first away game, but (we have it on good authority) it will also signal the return of Lynetta Kizer to the Terps' line up.

We don't know (and frankly, we don't want to know) what earned Netta her 5-game suspension. We're sure that Coach B had a very good reason for benching her senior center. We respect the fact that no player (no matter how big a star) is given a Get Out of Jail Free card by the Terps coaching staff. And we did not fail to notice that, throughout her suspension, Netta was the #1 cheerleader for her teammates on the court. We were happy to see that.

Welcome Back Kotter Kizer!

Go Terps . . . Beat the Retrievers! Woof! Woof!
