And now the waiting begins.   I really don’t know how to feel this morning.  Losing to Duke always has that extra little pain to it that no other loss seems to carry.  I think it is watching them celebrate that does it to me.  But to come on here and complain this morning I don’t [...]

As the Terps continue their run through the ACC Tourney, and hopefully now into the NCAA Tourney (more on that in extra droplets), they will see public enemy #1.  Duke hung on to beat BC last night.  The excitement level for this one is through the roof here.  (Side note-Just saw ad add for UMBC [...]

I don’t even know where to begin.  It would be a waste of time to point out how big this one was.  But when you think about all the low points we have had this season (and Lord knows there have been many, right Washington Post?), they could have all just been wiped out in [...]

Well here we are.  It is just over an hour until Judgement Day.  If we can beat Wake, I think we are in, there is no proof, just my gut feeling. But I think we can all agree that if we lose, we are pretty certain what will happen.  And it isn’t good.  So since [...]

I don’t have a lot of time, but just wanted to tie somethings up.  First I think we need to give Dino Gregory his due.  6 points, 7 boards a couple of blocks and a couple of charges taken.  Nice solid contribution from the bench. Another good sign is they attempted 21 free throws.  Granted [...]

Early on in the Terps first round game vs NCST, it appeared there was not going to be a second round game.  Enter Eric Hayes off the bench.  He hit 3 first half three’s to steady the ship and stop the bleeding.  The first 10 minutes of the game looked like Maryland was sleep walking.  [...]

In case you don’t have it memorized.  The ACC Tournament kicks off tomorrow at noon.  Here is the schedule for Thursday and Friday.  I don’t have the schedule in front of me for Saturday, but let’s face it, if we need to know Saturday’s schedule, I’ll be pretty happy. Thursday 12:00 PM- Virginia Tech vs. [...]

In these most desperate times, you may have to pull for a team you don’t like, or root against a team you do like.  I am going to do my best to go into all the remaining bubble teams and what outcome we need to help the Terps. Let’s start where we know the most, the [...]

The All ACC Basketball teams were announced today.  The First Team to no ones surprise, featured Tyler Hansbrough who was elected unanimously.  Not that we care much about what anyone in baby blue does, but for Hansbrough this was his fourth unanimous selection to the first team.  Regardless of what you think of the wine [...]

FIrst of all let’s Congratulate Marissa Coleman, Kristi Toliver on winning the ACC Tournament in OT vs a scrappy Duke team.  The win likely means the Terps will be a #1 seed in the tournament.   The men will be a # 7 seed against NCST in the first round of the ACC Tournament at 7pm [...]
