Alex Len

WHY WE WIN!

Okay, that's not Maryland's 7'1" freshman center from the Ukraine, Alex Len; it's Valerija Sokolova.  Both are Russian; both are beautiful.  Alex played his first college game Wednesday, and if you're a Terp fan, you are thrilled.  We began the season with a new coach, our only true point guard (Pe'Shon Howard) sitting with a broken foot, and Len sitting out the first 10 games because he'd signed a Russian pro contract (but never played). Pe'Shon is back (the Terps had a season high 19 assists Wednesday), and Len reminds me of Ralph Sampson, only meaner. And of course,  there's Terrell Stoglin.  Life is good.  I expect it will take a month or so for this team to gel, but by March—   USA USA USA!!!
