That loss dropped us to 20th in the media poll and 25th in the coaches' poll.


Our nexxt game is a tough one against Clemson. They are 15-4 and are 18th in the media poll. We get crushed at home in the simulated game 90-56. Peterson only played 14 minutes due to a knee contusion. He had 11 points and a block. Sockwell had 20 points, 9 boards, and 2 blocks in 28 minutes.


We are now 18-6 and we need to win some tough games coming up, but I expect to lose the next one which is at Maryland. Peterson will play but he won't be 100% for us. They are 21-3 and are 5th in both polls. After that game, we host Duke who I expect to beat on our floor.

The only slightly glimmer of hope for my team is that Maryland's 2nd best player, Angel Bird, is also banged up a bit with a sprained wrist. The 7'1 250 pound JR is a formidable matchup for Peterson. He is rated 88 overall with his best ratings in Close Shot (99), Shooting in traffic (95), Defensive rebounding (90), and durability (96.) He is averaging 19 ppg, 6 rpg, and 2 bpg.

SR SF Taj Christian is the best player I've ever seen in this game. I can't believe he didn't go pro last year. He is now rated 92 overall. His strengths are Close shooting (93), Dunking (98), 3 point shooting (87), midrange shooting (87), speed (93), and hustle (92.) He has several more attributes that are in the low 90's. His only weakness is his shot blocking and his tendency to get into fouls (50.) He is averaging 19.6 ppg, 7.2 rpg, and 2.4 apg. He is 6'4 220 now.

PG Herb Lennon is a sophomore who is 5'10 174. He is rated 82 overall. His strengths are speed (92), layup (91), perimeter defense (90), and handling (88.) His weaknesses are strength (61), fouling (54), and hustle (66.) He is averaging 7 ppg and 3 apg.

SR PF Ross Frank is 6'8 215. He is rated 82 overall. His strengths are speed (86), quickness (86). He has multiple attributes in the low 80's. His weaknesses are his hustle (55), foul (50), and passing (62.)

Besides 3 very good combo guards, the bench is thin. If we can get their forwards and center into foul trouble, it is a winnable game. I'll play that tomorrow.


SR SG Dee Bland is the weakest part of the starting 5. He is 6'2 190 pounds. He is rated 76 overall. His strengths are 3 points shooting (83), Handle (83), and speed (88.) His weaknesses are his defense (77), strength, and tendency to get into foul trouble.
