Kevin Durant entered the NBA by way of Montrose Christian through Texas. 3 years ago, Stu Vetter told me that Kevin will turn out to be one of the NBA’s most prolific scorer. Last night was the first time I ever saw Kevin live. He was utterly amazing, scoring over 30 points in less then 3 quarters.
“I’m surprised that Virginia Tech was excluded from the NCAA Tournament,” Swofford said in a statement he released this afternoon. “I believe they are a quality team that earned and deserved to be in the field of 68.
Pretty powerful stuff!!!! I wonder what he would have said if North Carolina had been in the Hokie’s position and not selected. 4 Teams in the big dance from the ACC. Ridiculous

Coach Al Mcquire when asked by his broadcasting partner Dick Enberg What is it that he would miss the most about coaching sarcastically responded: ” I will miss telling 16 and 17 year old young men that their attending my school is the most important thing in my life!!!” Al was one of a kind and maybe one of the great strategists in the game.

Commisssioner Swofford seems only to be concerned about taking taking care of his beloved Carolina teams. I am making no excuses for the team’s record this season, but let me ask some questions
–Why is the ACC tournament almost always in Greensboro. Many talk about how Maryland isn’t showing up but for a Baltimorean or DC guy it’s about $1800 per person to go. For a Carolina native it’s barely a tank of gas and he can decide to go … Read More »
I absolutely am in shock.The NCAA and NIT have spoken –the Terrapins are not one of the top 100 schools in the nation in Men’s basketball in 2011? Here is a message from Gary:
The University of Maryland men’s basketball team will not play in the 2011 postseason after not receiving invitations to the NCAA Tournament or the National Invitation Tournament.
