Maryland-Clemson Preview

On Saturday, The Maryland Terrapins head to Clemson to take on the Tigers, one of the Terps first real tests of the season. This game could also tell us if Maryland is for real or not. Right now Maryland is 1st in the ACC and Clemson is tied for 7th. Clemson currently sits at 3-4 in the ACC and 15-6 overall. Their top 3 scorers are Trevor Booker:16.0, Demontez Stitt:11.2, and Tanner Smith:10.1. Out of all of them I'm probably the most scared of Trevor Booker, the 6-7 senior from Whitmire, South Carolina who is averaging 16 points, 8 boards, and 2 assists( Pretty good for a big man). The dude is a manchild, if you dont think so just look at this . There is another video of him posterizing Maryland but I'd rather leave that out. He will be a guy we have to at least limit in this game, because it's almost impossible to stop him. If we can at least limit him, there is a good chance we can win the game. Another thing that could effect the game is whether or not Demontez Stitt plays or not. Stitt has missed time since Clemson played N.C. State and he is their #2 scoring option, look for him to probably play. Remember the game is at Clemson so that could also be a factor. I think Maryland will win by 6 in this one, 69-63. What do you guys think?
