Mosley replaces Hayes

Live from Comcast Center, we’ve got a quick lineup update before tip-off.

Freshman guard Sean Mosley is in the starting lineup in lieu of junior guard Eric Hayes, who had started the first 20 games for the Terps.

The Terps could certainly use a shake-up, and Hayes was the logical choice to be replaced.  Hayes has been in a shooting slump of late — hitting 9-of-34 shots in the last four games. Typically a relaible 3-point threat, Hayes has missed all seven attempts in the last two games.

Mosley, meanwhile, has been a real spark for the Terps lately. He’s averaged 7.8 ppg in the last four contests, but his real contributions have been his defense and hustle plays.  Though not as precise of a shooter, Mosley has better size, speed and strength than Hayes.

We’ll see if coach Gary Williams’ move pays dividends as the game is set to begin any minute now.
