Lazy Sunday Links: (Mostly) Non-Revenue Edition

by Ben Broman on Mar 29, 2009 2:21 PM EDT in Other Maryland Athletics

Not much going on today except beautiful weather and those other 25 sports that help make up the one team.

I'm not the only one fascinated by Marissa Coleman's performance: Mike Wise in the WaPo and Rick Maese in the Sun gave her props as well.
Remember that 7OT game between Syracuse and UConn a couple weeks ago? Well, it's happened again, only this time in lacrosse. Maryland took #1 ranked Virginia down to the wire, and then past it, losing only after seven extra periods. A win would've given Maryland the ACC regular season title. Actually, Maryland probably should've won the game; a goal was waved off after the refs gave Maryland a TO they didn't ask for. Was Karl Hess officiating that game?
Here's the one that ruined the title: Remember, the official Maryland website has occasional spring practice updates to check out.
Maryland wrestling is on its way up: HC Kerry McCoy was named the ACC Coach of the Year, and the Terps landed four on the All-ACC team.
If you didn't go insane when Scottie Reynolds hit that runner in the lane, it's highly probable you don't have a pulse (I guess you could've been rooting for Pitt, too). Even though I was rooting for Nova, I was a bit sad to see Juan Dixon's little bro go down. (Yeah, this is in a revenue sport, but it doesn't generate revenue for Maryland, so it doesn't count.)

Maryland/UVA Lacrosse

Not only did Maryland get hosed on the noncalled timeout that waved off a goal but they also got hosed in the sixth overtime when UVA was awarded a timeout despite never having gotten the ball into the interior box. The announcers commented on the poor officiating and when that happens you know there’s a problem.

The officials had too big an affect on the game

The officials in the game had way too much of an affect on the outcome of the game, and it really hurt the Terps. Normally, good officiationg revolves around consistent calls throughout the gaame, an these refs did not do that. In the fourth quarter, they called way too many infractions, many of which were not there, and twice screwed the Terps in OT, whistling for that timeout that wasn;t called and giving VA a TO when they weren’t in the box.

Overall though, if Maryland can hang that long (and nearly beat) the consensus best lacrosse team in college, it definiteloy shows that they could make some serious noise in the NCAA Tourney.

Wrestling on the way up...

but Kerry may be on his way out – his alma mater, Penn State, just pulled the plug on their coach, and for the 2nd time in 2 years, we may lose our coach to his alma mater. Here’s hoping Kerry stays!
