Terps Bubble May Have Burst vs. UNC

Sunday, February 27th, 2011

This is the post I’ve been dreading.  The Terps have been absorbing losses all year long, and with each loss, we’ve been telling ourselves “If such, such, and such happens, we’ll be okay”.  Well that ends today.  I think the camel’s back has been broken.  The Terrapins are not going to be participating in the [...]

Maryland at UNC: It’s Go

Sunday, February 27th, 2011

It all comes down to this.  A win doesn’t get us in to the Tournament, but a loss certainly gets us out.  In fact you can shelve all the Tournament Talk for the day because THIS is a post season game.  Unfortunately this isn’t going to be easy.  North Carolina is having a fine season.  Being [...]

Maryland Bubble Has Not Burst Yet

Saturday, February 26th, 2011

I don’t know how much you care what Joe Lunardi has say to say about Bracketology, but for the first time in a long time, Maryland Basketball has at least found its way into the conversation.  Sure we are still on the outside looking in, but we are getting closer to inclusion, and tomorrows game [...]

Time to Scan and Leave Terps Student Ticket Policy

Friday, February 25th, 2011

Hey Kevin Anderson, something is broken and needs to be fixed.  Look, I’m not going to lie, I’m not your biggest fan.  I’ve been disappointed in some of the decisions that have been made in the very short amount of time you have been here.   And I have not been shy about expressing my dissatisfaction, [...]

Terps Knock off Noles to Keep NCAA Hopes Alive

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

Deep down in my heart of hearts, I knew we were going to win this game.  It just seemed like this is exactly the type of game Maryland wins.  To lose it would have ended our post season hopes, and you just know as Maryland fans we have to be left twisting in the wind [...]

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

Just incase you haven’t had a chance to hear Randy Edsall speak yet, here is the clip from his interview with the Sports Junkies this morning.  Terps New Coach Randy Edsall « CBS Washington. I think it is well known I have nothing against Randy Edsall.  It is more the entire process and who we [...]

Maryland Basketball Awaits Florida State

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

The chance for a win against one of the ACC’s upper echelon teams comes today as Maryland is set to host Florida State at Comcast Center tonight at 9:00.  For the Terps, they do get one break, literally.  Florida State’s leading scorer Chris Singleton is out with a broken foot.  For the Terps this is [...]

Maryland’s Terrell Stoglin Named ACC Rookie of the Week

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

We here at Turtledroppings have taken notice of Terrell Stoglin’s improved play of late, and apparently others around the ACC have as well.  Stoglin has been named ACC Rookie of the week for his performances against Virginia Tech and NC State.  For the week Stoglin averaged 25 points and 7.5 assists, while only committing 2 [...]

Terps Keep Bubble Hopes Alive vs. NC State

Monday, February 21st, 2011

The final score doesn’t quite do justice to the effort NC State put in yesterday.  They outplayed Maryland for a pretty good stretch until they too were consumed by Terrapinitis.  [Per Webster's Dictionary "Terrapinitis" is when you play very well against a better opponent only to fold over the last 5 minutes of the game].  [...]

Maryland To Host NC State, Vasquez to Be Honored

Sunday, February 20th, 2011

With the outlook for NCAA Tournament for Maryland Basketball is looking grim, the Terps are going to Honor Greivis Vasquez prior to the game.  Adding Vasquez’s name to all the other great Maryland Basketball players is well deserved, and hopefully he will give a shimmy to get the crowd going from the start.  This is [...]
