The Diamondback is coming at you with an all-consuming double-team of coverage tonight. Sports editor Aaron Kraut and myself will be keeping you up-to-date on the Terp men’s soccer team’s tilt tonight with No. 2 UNC.

It already looks pretty packed. The bleachers in front of us are filling up pretty quickly, but 7,000 tonight? We’ll see.

And for the moment, it looks like one of the day’s biggest question marks — the health of forward Casey Townsend — has an answer. Townsend was penciled into the starting 11 tonight, and he’ll presumably be up top with Jason Herrick as he has been for much of the season. It wouldn’t surprise me, though, to see Townsend work as the lone striker and have Herrick retreat back somewhat to help out with the Tar Heels’ talented midfielders.

Here’s what else we’ll be seeing from the Terps when they kick off in about five minutes:
