Did someone say "Depleted"?!

Sound the victory horn! The Terps will face a depleted UCLA squad on Monday!

...Maryland learned today that it won’t be facing the full contingent of Bruins in the opening semifinal of the CBE Classic on Monday night in Kansas City.

UCLA coach Ben Howland said junior guard Darren Collison, the team’s best player, won’t play in the tournament because of continued soreness in his left knee. His status had been uncertain.

Also out, Howland said, is junior guard/forward Michael Roll, who ruptured his plantar fascia earlier this month.

"We’re not going to rush him back. We have a long season ahead of us," Howland told reporters today in a conference call.

Ummm, I hate to burst your bubble (HA! I said "bubble" as in "bubble team" in March Madness which they probably will be! I'm clever)...

Apologies. Anyhoo Maryland, it doesn't matter if UCLA put all their bench warmers in the starting lineup, they will PWND you. But if you want to continue to believe in magical unicorn ponies, keep singing the "depleted" song.


Awwww, So depleted and pretty.... I believe.
