Well, this is one I wasn’t sure I was going to write, but I sure am glad I am getting the opportunity.  It looked for awhile I might be writing about Cal State Northridge, but in the end Memphis was able to take care of business.  The Terps on the other hand, made me nervous, [...]

The tip is scheduled for 3:20pm on Saturday.  Some of us who post here have a fantasy baseball draft on Saturday afternoon.  We will be taking a 2 hour break to watch our beloved Terps.   If they should pull off the upset I don’t know how we will be able sit through the remaining 12 [...]

I don’t know where to start.  I really thought this was a game Mar, yland would win.  At the same time, Cal is/was this lights out three point shooting team, and that has been a problem for the Terps.   It didn’t seem to matter.  The Terps started out hot, and you at least knew they [...]

Well in 24 hours from now we will be underway.  Actually check that, our game will be over, so this could be one of the last posts of the season.  At least the part of the season we are alive for.  Anyway, since there is no real news this would be a good time to [...]

Just from all the reading/researching I have done for this game, here are some other “droppings” I have come across This is Maryland’s 23rd visit to the NCAA Tournament.  The last time they were a #10 Seed was in 1994 when they made to the sweet 16 by beating St. Louis and #2 UMass before losing [...]

The Lady Terps earn the #1 seed in the Raleigh Region as expected.  They will face #16 seed, and Ivy league champ Dartmouth on Sunday at 2:30.  The Lady Terps currently have a 24 game home winning streak, and what do you know, the first two rounds are in College Park.  Should they win on [...]

There are so many reasons you want to be in the tournament.  The first is there are so many more chances for your school to get some publicity, and it started today already on a national level.  I tuned into the Tirico and Van Pelt Show on ESPN Radio today, and as a guest, they [...]

10th Seeded Maryland will take on 7th Seeded Cal at approximately 2:55 PM on Thursday.  I was hoping for a night game, but I can work my schedule around that one.  The more I read about this match up with Cal, I think it will be a very interesting game.  I think they have a [...]

At 6:19 pm eastern Greg Gumbel said the magic words.  Maryland is a 10 seed!!!!  Wow, I don’t know what to say other than congratulations to the Terps.  They played hard and never gave up.  They will play California on Thursday in Kansas City, Missouri. I have been very pessimistic all year and I thought [...]

Mississippi State just knocked off Tennessee in the SEC Championship meaning a bubble team has just been kicked out.  Is it Maryland, well we won’t know for a couple more hours, but it could be.  The last Bracketology update I saw had us as one of the top four “In” bubble teams, if that holds [...]
