07/11 Hampton +22....while there's much to like about Maryland who returns 4 starters from last yr there are plenty of question marks too. They're a talented squad and Coach Williams commitment to high octane basketball puts up the points but lets not forget the Terps lost 9 of final 14 last year and allowed 73.5 pts a game. Hampton's coming in with a new coach, Kevin Nickelberry, and a revamped roster (Rashad West only significant return) but they are athletic and intent on running a fast paced attack as well. When i break this one down i see Terps in command but not running away. Likely scenario has Maryland up by 15-20 with 5 or 6 to go and Williams going to bench while Hampton sticks with projected starters to the end as they look to use this one as an opportunity to bring cohesiveness to team.
