CLEMSON -3.5 over Maryland----Career-hi for Jared Brownridge yesterday as he got 38pts for Santa Clara.....and Clemson has Jaron Blossomgame.  Moreover,  it wasn't merely that "confederate" teams like VCU and Virginia won and covered by a good number of points,  or that Tevin Calhoun had 15pts in Troy's upset 61-46 victory at UL Monroe,  it was also that the UNLV Runnin' Rebels won their game by 26 points while South Carolina beat Kentucky as a 9 or 10 point underdog while The Citadel,  as a 5 1/2 point underdog,  beat Georgia Southern 80-63.   Ummm,  what South Carolina teams are available today?  Oh,  Clemson.  Yeah,  I'll take 'em.   As far as Maryland,  I don't see how Gonzaga's 28pt blow-out of Saint Mary's yesterday could be anything buy negative for them today.(Win 77-73........KJ McDaniels 26pts)...Hall 16pts)
