Turtledroppings.com – Maryland Football And Basketball Blog

Before I started researching Houston, I tried to think what I know about them.  First, they play in Conference USA, and are coached by Tom Penders, who we should all remember from his days at George Washington.  Secondly, I remember looking at the national scoring leaders awhile back just to see where Greivis Vasquez ranked, [...]

Hello Everyone, I have been out for a while, but I wanted to come back from my temporary hiatus to announce the first ever Turtledroppings.com NCAA Bracket Challenge.  For those of you who participated in the Bowl Pick’Em Contest, it is generally the same idea.  There is NO entrance fee, it is strickly a contest.  [...]

Even though Maryland lost their first round game in the ACC tournament to Georgia Tech, the Terps get the 4 seed out in the Midwest, and will play Friday vs Houston.  If the first round goes as planned, the Terps would then face Michigan St. (5 seed) in the second round.  Should they win that [...]

It must be hard for a coaching staff to know you have a big game set for a certain date, yet not knowing your opponent until 22 hours before the game.  For the Terps, that has been the case, but now we know they will be playing Georgia Tech tonight at 7 pm.  We all [...]

Wow, this wasn’t as close as expected.  Greivis Vasquez is your ACC player of the year collecting 39 of the 53 votes over Jon Scheyer (12 votes) and Malcom Delaney (2 votes).  I am really surprised it wasn’t closer.  Congrats to Greivis on the WELL deserved award. Gary Williams won Coach of the Year with [...]

The Washington Post is reporting that Maryland will play Notre Dame at FedEx Field on Saturday November 12, 2011. This will be an off site home game for Notre Dame. The game will most likely be televised on national television.   Maryland last played Notre Dame in 2002 at Giants Stadium in N.Y.  They lost that [...]

Not that we should be surprised, but Greivis Vasquez is one of the six finalist for the Bob Cousy Award, for the nations top point guard.  The other finalist are Jon Scheyer, John Wall of Kentucky, Evan Turner of Ohio State, Scottie Reynolds of Villanova, and Sherron Collins of Kansas. It is nice to see [...]

A couple of days ago I was asked to be part of an ACC Round Table by Clark over at the ACC & SEC Blog with a few other ACC Bloggers.  With the Terps flying high, I can’t talk enough ACC Basketball right now.  So here are my answers to his questions.  After reading it [...]

I will admit it.  I was a little nervous about this game.  Then came the news that Sylvan Landesburg had been suspended from UVA for the remainder of the year, and I let my guard down.  You can’t help but wonder if the Terps did as well.  Maryland did jump out to a 21-9 lead, [...]

The hype had built to an all time high for a game at the Comcast Center. It was senior night for Greivis Vasquez, Eric Hayes, and Landon Milbourne. Add to the fact that arch nemesis Duke was coming to town and that added to the raucous environment. Oh and just incase you needed a little [...]
