The Good?: A neutral-site tilt with 'Nova in early December.

The (not so) Bad?: After whipping host Chaminade in the Maui Invitational, the Terrapins will get two quality opponents among Cincy, Vandy, Arizona, Gonzaga & Bucky.

The Ugly?: Gary Williams is a terrific coach, but he should be flat-out ashamed of the atrocious home schedule he's presenting the Terps fan base. This is an inexcusable home schedule for a team being projected to finish near the top of the ACC. There's not a single challenging or even remotely interesting game on the home slate. ... not one. And the overall schedule (currently dead last in these rankings) isn't anything to write home about, either.
