PrintTerrapins rally from nine-point halftime deficit to upend Clemson - WAPO
It's hard to put this out there because they've broken my heart so many times before but I'm just going to come out and say it: I'm falling in love with this team.
"We just grind and we just work for 40 minutes," Mosley said. "Tonight, we probably grinded and worked for 35 or 34 minutes, but we found a way to get the win, and that's the most important thing for us. . . . We just put everything out there in the second half and, you know, when you got everybody clicking and everybody on the same page, it's hard to stop us."
Tracking the Terps: Notes on the 88-79 win
Two points here; 1. Greivis had a mild stomach ailment which may explain his slow start tonight. 2. I had mixed feelings on the "We want Duke" chant at the end of the game. We still have to go play a tough VT team at their place before we get Dook.
Stevens: Mosley's Scoring Breakout Another Positive
Nice, free article by the King of Terps Sportswriting, Patrick Stevens. Mosley was very encouraging tonight. Makes you worry a lot less about next season.
Vasquez Makes Naismith Midseason List
He's one of 6 ACC players, and 30 overall players to be named to the list.
Does Vasquez belong with all-time Terps greats? - baltimoresun.com
Yes. 4th all-time in points, 2nd in assists. Now he just needs to add an ACC championship or Sweet 16 banner to the rafters.
Jordan Williams Readying for Trevor Booker
His plan?
"Just to bump him and let him know I’m not going to be pushed around," Williams said. "I think that sometimes players think they can just come in and move you around when you’re a freshman. I just want to make a statement right away."
- Ben B.
Note: I know the game already happened but its still a good read.

Can someone please explain how we won this game?
Wow. Even after watching it it really is hard to believe. This is a special team.
as many college basketball fans know and love it’s all about runs and Terps made their at perfect times during the game. Clemson as we all know has choked many times in the past with leads and this is no exception. Like others have said on this blog or others, if this was last years team we would NOT have came back and called it a night. Mosley picked a perfect time to get out of that scoring slump and if he continues and add tucker scoring from the bench we got a solid solid team that can go FAR. GV bucket near the end of the game was CLUTCH. Can’t wait for VT game and I’ll be there for the dook game pimpin the gold jersey!! GO TERPS!! Our success makes me sooo forget about our crap ass football season this year.
We havent made a comeback like this since the 03-04 season with Johnny G

I think this team is finally maturing....
Or is it GV that has finally matured and learned how to run this team?
Nope its Cliff Tucker making plays, Eric Hayes being assertive, Mosley playing some offense.
Anyone notice Bowie played like 5 minutes…

I think the “We Want Duke” chant was just a way of us saying we will play anyone at home. V-Tech will be a tough test, but we can definitely beat them. We have a bigger back court than they do and it will allow us to be more physical. I think Milbourne really needs to start stepping it up if we want a chance to go far. Not every night are we going to get double digits in points out of Mosley and Williams.
You have to hate losing more than you love winning.
Dear Maryland,
Please beat the **** out of Virginia Tech.
Sincerely,
Wake Forest
P.S. Be prepared to cuss as VT marches to the FT line repeatedly.
Fixed that for you...
“P.S. Be prepared to cuss as Delaney marches to the FT line repeatedly.”
Aside from the above, what worries me about VT is Jeff Allen’s hibernating beastliness. When he sets his mind to it he can be Booker-esque, I just hope he doesn’t come out like that against us.

EPSN Power Rankings
Maryland is now ranked 22 in the power rankings. ALSO, Maryland moved into the “lock” category for ACC teams in the latest Bubble Watch. Playing in Blacksburg was already going to be tough, but now with the loss at BC VT will need this game much more. We better be ready for an ambush but I think we can still get out with the W. GO TERPS
If we can win one of the two road games in VA...
And beat Duke at home, this will go down as our most enjoyable, gratifying, and dominant regular season in the ACC since the NC year, and put us in contention for a Top 4 seed. IMHO.

hold on ...
these hokes will be on fire and their fans will be bringing the gas cans after they laid an egg in Bean town …. kinda like our game at cameron … love to hear how we are ranked 22 and we will beat duke at home !? … but I am glad that Coach W focuses on one game at a time and will prepare our terps for this key match-up .
That Clemson game helped our confidence level which will be tested against this home town bunch on Sat.
Go Terps !
