Let’s get it on. Five members of the 2002 National Championship, including 2 current NBA stars will suit it up for the Alumni Game at 10:30. Usually the game consists of Mitch Kasoff dominating play but this year might be different. (I do hope Mitch plays this year). What a great night it will be at College Park as the former Champions help kick off Mark Turgeon’s Maryland career.

He ate up Ralph Sampson, a 3 time All-American, every time the two played against each other. Buck! And please don’t say Joe Smith should be … Read More »
