You hate to call a game on the first day of December a must win, but following the two losses in the Maui Classic, the Terps needed a win. Sure this Indiana team isn’t as good as they have been in the past, but it was a good test for the first true road game [...]
In a busy weekend for us at Turtledroppings, we haven’t had much time to discuss the the weekends activities. First of all let’s just go ahead and get it over with and discuss the football team. I don’t have much to say. Honestly, it was about as expected. Though I was holding out hope that [...]
In this half of the Terps basketball preview, we are going to look at the Maryland big men. A year ago, that term was kind of a misnomer considering Dave Neal was the starting center, and he was about 6’5″ and Landon Milbourne moved from small forward to power forward. Though the Terps have added [...]
I logged on to write about the exhibition game, but the bigger news is the fact that forward Dino Gregory is out for a “violation of team rules”. Of course the laws prevent the school from releasing information on these things, but what is scary to me is, there is no mention of how long [...]
The Terps Men’s Basketball team held it’s annual Basketball Awards Celebration last week. Gary Williams gave the team MVP award to both Greivis Vasquez and Dave Neal. For Neal it was based on his much needed leadership, as much as his play. Vasquez also won the award for the most assists with 176 for the [...]
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 [...]
Sure the “Big Dance” hasn’t stated yet, in fact the only team to officially be in is Cornell. That being said, if you think about it, today’s game is an elimination game of sorts for the Terps. Sure the season won’t officially be over, but they surely can’t expect to get in if they lose [...]
In a theme that is becoming all to familiar, the Terps weren’t able to hold off the Demon Deacons, despite a late lead. This game was filled with emotion. It was Dave Neal’s senior night, it was (hopefully) the last game in Comcast this year, and there was A LOT on the line. Another win [...]
I don’t know what it is anymore. Maybe I am finally maturing a bit and realize life goes on if Maryland loses. Maybe I am getting a little bit too used to losing. On this night, I enjoyed this game, at least for about 36 minutes. It was intense, it was fun to watch. The [...]
As mentioned in my earlier post, I was lucky enough to score some tickets to this afternoon’s game. Fortunately I get to use the word “lucky” in that first sentence, it could have very well been unlucky considering how far I have to drive to College Park now days, but I was very excited about [...]
