Syracuse will have to chase a national championship without starting center Fab Melo, who has been declared ineligible for the NCAA tournament. The university announced Tuesday that the 7-foot Brazilian, who did not travel with the team to Pittsburgh for the second- and third-round games, won’t take part in the tournament because of an eligibility issue. The school did not elaborate.
This is according to terrapintimes.com. Keith Cavanaugh reports that Maryland has turned the tables and is way ahead on the recruitment of this excellent combo guard. Everyone, he shoots like his dad, plays with the smarts of his dad, and Coach Turgeon after a lengthly battle with FSU, UConn and others looks like he might win out. THIS KID IS SPECIAL!!!

Some of my observations of a thorough thrashing of the Spiders by Maryland:
I now fully understand why every team including the last 3 the Terps lost to has to slow the ball down against the Terps. In a full speed end to end game Maryland would have easily defeated Northwestern, duke , and Syracuse. Beth Glaros, and especially Katie Schwarzmann lead a squad of speed demons that is really enjoyable to watch. If there was a shot clock you … Read More »
Preview: Villanova from the blog of Patrick Fischer
It’s not often that I look forward first thing here in the blog, but this Saturday’s game vs. Villanova is a big, big game and it shouldn’t be overlooked.
The Wildcats are 4-2 after a Tuesday night loss to Princeton 14-8.
This game has the potential to be a major factor for whichever school emerges with a victory come NCAA tournament time.
Villanova has a potent, veteran offense, led by junior attackman … Read More »
I believe so. So far in one year of recruiting, Coach Turgeon has addressed all of the needs of the Terps except one. that of course is the point guard position. Let’s look at next year. That’s how excited I am. PeShon hopefully will be back from his injury but there are no guarantees. Anyway he is not a true point guard. Nick certainly played his heart out at the position but again he is a wing/slasher player. Unless he … Read More »
If you follow the money Miami is where you would think that Peyton might wind up for 2 reasons.
—The owner of Miami Steven Ross will pay any price necessary because he can.
—Dolphin season ticket sales are down to 32000.
Can you imagine the lengths to which John Elway will go to —to dump Tebow.
I don’t think John could have done that. But then again who wants Randy Moss?
Freddy you can relax now. Freddy from Boca is one of many who only watches golf tournaments if Tiger is in the hunt.

Whereas most fans are displeased with the 11:15 AM starting time, I could not be any happier –Why? –I will only have to miss a little bit of the #7 Terrapin and #10 Villanova Lacrosse Game. The Terps should they survive Navy will face the winner of Louisville and Michigan State at Comcast Monday night at 7.
I do believe the Terps got a break in the placement avoiding Bylor or Stanford until the final game if they are so … Read More »
