Men’s Basketball
As with the football team, questions abounded as Maryland’s men’s basketball team approached the 2014-15 season. The team had missed the NCAA Tournament in each of Mark Turgeon’s first three seasons as the Terrapins’ head coach. The roster had been semi-decimated by the departure of five players at the end of the 2014 season. The pundits certainly thought the Terps faced a transitional year picking them to finish seventh in the … Read More »

Now we know why Dad look depressed the day of the announcement to Kentucky. They would have showcased at Maryland rather then role players for passing the … Read More »
The Bucks REALLY wanted our guy. That 1st round pick is a protected lottery pick. Greivis is the final year of a 3 year $6.6 million dollar contract.
Decades of petulance, self-serving ego inflating one-upmanship will end on November 17, 2015. That’s the date when the Georgetown Hoyas men’s basketball team will step onto Gary Williams Court at the Xfinity Center in College Park This will be the first time the Hoyas will play in College Park since 1973. The Terps had a pretty good roster that year led by a sophomore guard named John Lucas and anchored in the front court by a pair of seniors – … Read More »
