>> we knew it was going to be a dog fight. i mean, we knew that. we knew that it was going to be -- it was going to be tough and it's been tough. and it's going to continue to be tough each and every week. but, you know, what we're trying to do is just get our guys to understand that, you know, we've got to go out and win -- try to win the individual battles each and every play and the more individual battles we can win, in all three phases, then it gives us better opportunity to win. but it's -- i don't think it's anything different than what we really expected. >> terps and badgers kickoff at noon tomorrow. maryland only sits behind ohio state and michigan state in the big ten east division. let's move over to the nba now. we already saw a couple local guys go down due to injury in bradley beal andevin durant. and now you can ask victor oladipo to the list. the guard is out indefinitely after suffering a facial fracture in practice yesterday. the team announced oladipo is set to have surgery tomorrow. the guard has already missed all of the preseason with a sprained mcl. oladipo may be nba's all-rookie first team last season after being taken second overall by the orlando magic in 2013. wish him a speedy recovery. a lot of injuries before the season. kevin durant -- >> not supposed to play that hard. >> paul george, hopefully these guys can get back sooner rather than later. >> thanks, jason. >> that is our news for now.
