“I did something privately for him where I made a tape for him, gave him a toast. They didn’t have anything in the glass so I guess he owes me a drink. But, I love what Gary did for our league, not just for Maryland. He’s a fierce competitor, really one of the outstanding coaches in the history of college basketball, not just in the conference. I think you have to reward his commitment.
“When he did come [to Maryland] … Read More »

• Duke, the sixth-ranked team in the country, is 16-3 overall and 4-1 in the ACC… The Blue Devils are coming off their first conference loss, a 76-73 home defeat to Florida State that snapped a 45-game home winning streak.
• Freshman Austin Rivers earned his fourth ACC Rookie of the Week honor last week and leads the team in scoring at 14.4 ppg… Rivers is one of three Blue Devils shooting at least 40 percent … Read More »
The Terps exploded after the start of the 2nd half to a 38-32 lead but after Coach K tongue lashing to the Blue Devils , Duke stormed back and dominated the rest of the game. Little used sub, Tyler Thornton came off the bench for Duke with 3 steals, took 2 charges and provided much needed energy to the #1 team in the land. Jordan was his usual excellent self tonight nailing his 9th double double in a row–with 23 … Read More »
This is a tough one Sunday night. The Terps will have at point guard most of the night– one of 2 freshman, PeShon or Terrell. This is a tall task for any player let alone a freshman. Here are some things that must happen for the Terps to be competitive:
Jordan must stay out of foul trouble. Coach K will be throwing all his bigs at him. Dino must hit his little jumper to keep some of the pressure off … Read More »
Duke’s current run to the final has nothing to do with the Big 3. Of the big 3 only Nolan Smith has proven to be a steady day in day out performer. The difference has been a mid season decision by Coach K, Collins, and Wojo to finally give Mr Zoubek a real chance. Buried in the abyss of … Read More »
OPEN YOUR EYES!!!! I just don’t get why Duke receives a #1 seed in the Brackets and the Terrapins are shipped to San Jose to play as a 4 or 5 seed. I hope my readers believe that when I say the Terrapins are every bit as good as Duke, I really mean it.. Let’s analyze: The surest test … Read More »
From Gary:
“Defensively, we won the game. No one scores a lot of points against Duke, but what we did early, we were really hot and made some great plays. You’d like to think that you can do that for 40 minutes, but you’re not because they’re going to find the ways to shut you down and they … Read More »
There is only an upside for the Terps today. But what an upside. Win and the Terrapins are back in 1st place the ACC. Here are some factors playing at Cameron:
I have been to Durham twice for Maryland games and Cameron Indoor is just a different place to play a game in. Playing Duke … Read More »
The 5th foul on Greivis was a ticky tack charge right in front of the Maryland bench. It would not have been so bad had not fouls 2, 3, and 4 were also of the non mugging variety. Henderson and Singler were puching clawing, the whole way through the game. Admittingly though Henderson was great, without him Duke is mediocre. To me Duke’s bench is very weak, though I don’t understand why Zoubek only got in for 8 minutes.

Was that the same Miami team who the Terps thoroughly dominated last Saturday night? Did the Hurricanes destroy the Wake Forest Demon Deacons? How pathetic was the Duke team that got destroyed by Trevor Booker and the Clemson Tigers? Did Terrence Oglesby mockingly try to stuff the ball and further humilate Duke. Was that performance by Duke worthy of a tean that was #1 10 days ago? I didn’t realize that Coach K relies on Lance Thomas to tonguelash … Read More »
