On a night where Maryland had its 400 some odd game where they made at least one three pointer snapped (and one report I read claimed they didn’t make one shot outside of 10 feet), Jordan Williams and Sean Mosley scored inside the lane all night long to put away a short handed Georgia Tech [...]

Maryland Basketball travels to Atlanta tonight to take on Georgia Tech and to try and add on to a modest two game winning streak.  The Yellow Jackets on the other hand have won three of four with wins against UNC, Wake, and Virginia Tech, all at Alexander Memorial Coliseum.  On the year the Jackets are [...]

The one thing I hate about the rise of the Internet and the demise of newspapers is that you never see standings anymore.  Yes, you can look them up, but as a kid when you grab the sports section, you ready about the game and see the standings right there.  Now you have to go [...]

It appears the hardest part of traveling to UVA this week was…well traveling to UVA.  Once the Terps got settled in after beating the snow, things went pretty smooth.  Sure there was the typical lack luster start, but once Maryland got rolling, they never looked back.  They traded baskets before pulling a little ahead before [...]

Per the UVA website, tonights game against Maryland is ON!  I was hoping the website would say something like “Maryland-UVA Tonight at the JPJ Arena….IT’S ON B%*#&!”.  That would have been fantastic, and great bulletin board material, but alas to my disappointment, it was just a simple message saying that game would be played as [...]

Well it could be worse.  We here at Turtledroppings.com were not entirely thrilled with hire of Randy Edsall as the new Head Football Coach.  I think I’m over it now, and my beef was more with not wanting to make a switch, then being led one way, warming up to that way, and then being [...]

Since I was the 12th man on my high school basketball team, I have always had a soft spot for the Maryland walk ons.  This year we lost one who wanted to leave and transfer down so he could get some serious playing time.  David Pearman did just that when he left for the Eastern [...]

Let me first be clear.  I don’t think we are going to make the NCAA tournament.  The Clemson game was a big win, but just barely eking out a win against another bubble team on our home court isn’t the kind of win that makes me pound my chest and scream “Look at us” to [...]

I hate to call today’s Maryland Basketball game a must win, because to be frank, they are almost all must wins these days.  That being said the Terps started slow, but rode a 13-0 run to keep Clemson at bay most of the way.  Of course this IS Maryland Basketball we are talking about, and [...]

I had a contest with Chris about who would write this post, so we made a deal.   Based on Rock, Paper, Scissors, one of us would write this recap, the other would place their thumb on a bench or hard surface, take a hammer, and hit their thumb as hard as they could until the [...]
