'09-10 UMD and Georgetown Basketball Thread

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

I don't know about you guys, but I was absolutely excited hearing them talk about UMD on The Sports Fix this afternoon.

With all of the mayhem known as The Blizzards and Deadskins, I feel like we should be embracing ourselves for the two teams already locked for tournament elibility ;)... we hope so for sure.

Let's get it rolling.

[skinsfan_1215]

These two area teams needed their own thread when we already have an NCAA basketball thread? And nothing is guaranteed about Maryland. They suck.;)

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

My apologies... I did not realize there was an NCAA thread already opened.

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

Mods, you can delete this thread because I found the thread started by ACW three pages into the forum.

[skinsfan_1215]

My apologies... I did not realize there was an NCAA thread already opened.

Haha no worries, just giving you a hard time. By the way Mason would wipe the floor with the Terps. Actually my Patriots just barely lost to Georgetown (by 1 point) in a recent closed scrimmage.

[abdcskins]

I approve this thread.

You're trippin if you think Maryland is a bad team. We got a good squad this year, and two solid forward recruits in James Padgett and Jordan Williams. With Vasquez coming back and Mosley due to only improve. Hayes and Milbourne are seniors. Bowie, Tucker, Gregory, Choi, Goins....Terps are going to be a contender in the ACC and a tournament team for sure.

Hoyas are eager to erase the sour taste from their mouth from last year. Greg Monroe coming back makes us infinitely better. And I think Chris Wright has the talent to be one of the best PGs in the nation. Watch out for Hollis Thompson. He could possibly be the freshman of the year in the Big East.

Let's go Terps and Hoyas!

:D
Were the current starters running the floor for either team?

[skinsfan_1215]

:D
Were the current starters running the floor for either team?

I have no idea. It was a closed scrimmage, so I didn't actually get to see it. From what I hear though, it was a very competitive game. I imagine in this sort of scrimmage the coaches would coordinate who they were putting in so they could practice matching up against good competition.

[abdcskins]

I personally like this thread and am going to bump it. I love both Maryland and Georgetown basketball and think they deserve their own thread in the Tailgate like all the other local sports teams. Both squads are playing very well right now.

The Hoyas are ranked #14 in the nation and every starter is excelling. If you don't know who Chris Wright is you better learn the name, he is becoming a top 5 PG in the nation. Greg Monroe is a big man with finesse. Austin Freeman, Julian Vaughn, Jason Clark...ballers. Not a very deep team, JTIII typically only plays 7 players, but very talented. Big game on Monday at Syracuse that everyone should watch.


Maryland is 3-1 in the ACC and would be 4-0 if Wake doesn't hit a very tough shot at the end of that game. Vasquez is playing smart and everyone is contributing. Mosley, Milbourne, Tucker, Hayes...all finding their niche and shooting well. Jordan Williams has played extremely well for a freshman and is second in the nation in freshman rebounding. Dino Gregory has returned from suspension and is contributing. Looking like a team that will compete in the ACC.

[spjunkies]

I hope you know that you automatically lost your fan card by calling the Redskins that name.

Good day

[GoSkins561]

I agree, MD deserves its own thread, the same as the Caps thread. I almost started a MD thread earlier because I didn't want to search for the NCAA Basketball cluster.

[abdcskins]

I agree, MD deserves its own thread, the same as the Caps thread. I almost started a MD thread earlier because I didn't want to search for the NCAA Basketball cluster.

I post there a lot too, in both the Hoyas and Terps threads, but it would be nice to have a thread in here for both programs when there are big games and stuff. Same as the Caps and Wizards, there are seperate forums for them but threads in here. I'll make sure to keep it alive.

Go Hoyas and Terps!

[HailinginSeattle]

Yep, Hoyas and Terps for me.

Both have been looking good this year. I don't get all the games out here, but there's been a fair share of them on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU, especially the Hoyas. The Terps had a few hiccups early on, but it seems they're hitting their stride. Lost a close on the other night in OT, and looked solid tonight against NC State.

Georgetown has been playing up to their talent level and have been consistent. That comeback against UConn was real nice and they almost did it again against Villanova. Hopefully they can pull off the win agains Syracuse Monday night and I think they actually play Duke in the next week or two, man I hope they punish them! Personally I think they're underrated, but maybe that's just me being bias.

[SkinsTerps26]

[twenty-eight]

this thread is gross, how do u discuss both teams in this thread?

You just did. I'm a huge terps fan but I still root for the Hoyas.

It's not like we're talking UMD & UVA (:finger:) here

[GoSkins561]

I grew up watching both teams as well. I use to say I was going to be the first white boy to play under John Thompson. I don't see why people would have a problem with people cheering for both teams, they are far from being rivals.

Maryland is in a great position to be seeded in the tourney, I am thinking a 9/10 seed for them.

Georgetown is in a great position and it appears Syracuse and their bench are going to be their biggest obstacle. I wouldn't be suprised if they win the Big East.

[Kosher Ham]

The Pats losing by one to the Hoyas on a closed scrimmage might be the funniest post of this thread.

Terps are playing solid ball right now. They looked so sloppy early on this season but have turned on the heat and are bringing it every night.

[abdcskins]

this thread is gross, how do u discuss both teams in this thread?

Just to echo what others said, I never found any problems cheering for both teams. They both represent the area(DC and MD) which I both love. I am from Chevy Chase, which is right on the district line, so I have an affinity for both the city and the state. They aren't bitter rivals or anything.

Some people are worried that th Hoyas might get tired by only playing 7 players regularly. I don't think that will be an issue, these are young athletes we are talking about. Also, I absolutely love the way Julian Vaughn has been playing. I'm so glad he transfered from FSU, he provides a key big body down low and he has some great energy/moves. Him and Monroe make up a good starting front line.

Sean Mosley(sophomore) and Jordan Williams(freshman) are both going to be special players for Maryland, they already have good games. James Padgett(freshman) is also going to be good, he just isn't getting a lot of playing time now with Gregory back. I like how Vasquez is being less selfish this year and trying to get everyone involved. As much as people bashed Gary Williams the past couple years(which I thought was kinda crazy despite some of it being warranted), he has this team playing very hard. And he has recruited well, with a very solid class coming in next year too.

[ixcuincle]

There's no problem cheering for both, especially when Gary is reluctant to schedule Georgetown and they rarely play against each other unless it's a tournament game.

It's all about DC Pride. Pride of the great teams around this area. And I know I might get some **** from "Guy who thinks it's stupid to pull for an entire conference instead of a team" but this area has some good teams and I'm proud to support all of them, even the obscure ones such as George Mason ;)

I am one who did bash him but only for his recruiting practices, but now that I look at it, Gary seems like a person who doesn't want to cheat to get players and wants guys who want to play hard and learn from him instead of the 1 and done player

get your facts straight

[ixcuincle]

What facts straight? Maryland and Georgetown played last year if I remember correctly in one of those regular season tournaments.

Maryland doesn't schedule Georgetown regularly too. I think they played in the NCAA tournament way back in 2000 or 2001 or something, but someone may need to check facts on that. One thing is certain though, Maryland and Georgetown don't play a lot, at least lately.

[ixcuincle]

Good article by Junior on Gary's 1000th game today in the Post

[bushwack]

I like the way Georgetown has been playing lately and hoping they can somehow pull out the Big East regular season title. The more the Hoyas win the better the ODU win at Georgetown back on December 19th looks. Keep it up Georgetown!

[ixcuincle]

The Carrier Dome is always a tough place to visit, and that’s especially been the case for Georgetown in recent years.

The 12th-ranked Hoyas look to end their five-game slide in the dome Monday night when they meet No. 5 Syracuse, which is seeking a seventh straight win.

Syracuse (19-1, 6-1 Big East) has won 10 of the last 11 home meetings with Georgetown (15-3, 6-2). The Orange’s 98-94 overtime victory over the Hoyas on Feb. 14 drew 31,841 fans to the Carrier Dome, and a similar crowd is expected Monday.

“We have great fans here in Syracuse,” forward Kris Joseph said. “Our fans are die-hard fans and I think them being here and being so loud helps us a lot. I think it scares a lot of teams.”

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/preview?gid=201001250553

[ixcuincle]

Georgetown simply stinks at the Carrier Dome.

After going up 14-0 the Hoyas basically choked the rest of the way and are down 16

[abdcskins]

Syracuse's zone is just too good. They rotate to every player so quickly and swarm those who get the ball in the middle. On offense they shoot too well and get the ball inside at will. They will be a tough out in the tournament.

Monroe needs to learn to think one second ahead, often he will get the ball and just hold it. Shoot, drive, or pass. I thought we could've tried so more dribble penetration tonight, Clark and Wright should dribble into the zone and then look to pass as opposed to just rotating it around the perimeter.

A tough team to play against. Hopefully the Hoyas learned something tonight.

[HailinginSeattle]

Let's Go Hoyas!!

Looking very sharp against Duke in the first half. Hope they keep it up and blow them out in the second half. Both Hoyas and Terps fans will appreciate that!

[skinfan2k]

Gtown is playing great but if teams play a zone against them its very hard for them to get good shots up...

[skinsfan_1215]

How does Maryland go from NCAA champs to struggling to be relevant in the ACC? Just ask yourself that when you consider if Gary Williams is really that good of a coach (anymore I suppose).

[skinfan2k]

[chipwhich]

Yeah because MD was such a relevant program before he came to MD. McDonalds all americans have MD as a top school on their list to attend.

Some people that don't know about coaching shouldn't comment on Gary Williams.

[CRogersGuy]

he doesn't cheat like other coaches... he doesn't chase the 1 yr recruit like many other schools..

Exactly. Sorry, Gary just doesn't cheat like many other coaches and he'd much rather go after a player he can coach to become better for 4 years instead of a One-year superstar. You can't tell me coaches like Callipari or Pitino or even Calhoun get all these amazing players just because they're 'great' coaches. It's because they don't play by the rules.

[ixcuincle]

Duke is so overrated. How is a team like this #8 in the country? A team that lost to NC State and got blown out by Georgetown? Logically it makes no sense

[abdcskins]

Georgetown just wanted to win very badly today. After losing to Syracuse we were angry. Playing at home against a traditional powerhouse in front of a large crowd which included Obama and Biden.

Ball movement was superb(still is actually we are up 21). Wright knows when to score and when to distribute. Production off the bench from Thompson and Benimon(who has become more of a factor in recent games). Greg Monroe with the gigantic game, he is such a tough matchup. Freeman, Clark....everyone contibuted. Great win!

*edit* The criticism of Gary Williams is so unfounded. Realize he is one of the greatest motivators in college basketball and he recruits players that he feels will buy into his system and want to stay more than one year. And have you looked at the class he has recruited next year? 2 top 100 players in Terrell Stoglin and Mychal Parker with Terrence Ross still considering. He got Sean Mosley, one of the highest scoring players in Maryland high school history(I think the highest ever actually have to check). Two very good forwards in Jordan Williams and James Padgett this year. It is difficult to recruit every single player in the DC Metro area because there are so many good players! He's a great coach, don't be ignorant. I admit some of the criticisms last year were legitimate in terms of getting his team ready for games, but you can't put that all on him, it's the players who are ultimately responsible. He's a great coach, period.

*another edit* I never cared about George Mason, I am sorry. Nothing against them because they play hard and well, but I just never followed them hence I don't really care about them.

Didn't W&M beat down your school just a few weeks ago? Doesn't the CAA have a very good record against the ACC so far this year? Seems to me George Mason has been to the Final Four more recently than Maryland and that both GMU and VCU have both had more tournament success than teams like Maryland in the last several years.

Not hating on Maryland or their fans but posts like these are stupid. The ACC is a great basketball conference but there are some legit teams in the CAA and quite a few NBA prospects.

[GoSkins561]

Biden and Obama should never be in the same building together until Pelosi gets ousted. I thought it was protocol as well, what a secret service nightmare. Biden looked clueless about what was going on, Obama knows his stuff.

you act as if george mason has been to multiple final fours.. it was once in a lifetime thing for them... md has a few down years but gary has the most wins against #1 teams and the jump to NBA really set back his plans for md after the national championship. he thought he got a great recruiting class with garrison, medley, gilchrist, and ibewke but now he is back on track with getting good recruits.. the NBA jump after 1 year is really simmering down not like when anthony and others made the jump so quickly

Comparing GMU and UMD is like comparing Apples to Oranges.

Maryland lost to W&M at the beginning of the year...theyve come on strong now and are on a roll.

In 2009, UMD upset a good California team in the NCAA tournament and lost to Memphis in the next round, whereas VCU lost to UCLA in the opener.
In 2008, UMD didnt make the tournament, and GMU lost in the first round.
In 2007, both UMD and VCU made it to the second round
In 2006, GMU made it to the Final Four
In 2005, only Old Dominion made the tournament
In 2004, UMD advances to second round, VCU loses opening round
In 2003, UMD advances to the Sweet 16
In 2002, UMD wins National Championship

There's so much parity in the NCAA this year. That's why I feel they aren't really overrated. And didn't Georgetown shoot 71.7% from the field today? lol Pretty sure no other team in the country was beating the Hoyas today, shooting like that.

The Terps played sloppy last night, way to many turnovers.

Yes they did, I think they had like 27 or something. Plus they got outmuscled down low on rebounds.

Despite them being atop the ACC they need to get a few more quality wins because they have none. They are 1-4 against teams in the RPI top 50. Big game Thursday at Florida State and then at home against UNC.

[abdcskins]

Terps with the huge win tonight on the road at Florida State. I didn't watch the game because DirecTV doesn't get Raycom games but I was following online and saw some highlights on ESPNews and I saw Vasquez score some big buckets. He finished with 23 points. Milbourne with 18 and Hayes with 12, seniors stepping up. Jordan Williams had 14, he is playing very well for a freshman and has been playing very well recently. A little troubled by Mosley only scoring 1 point but everyone has off games every once and a while.

This win improves Maryland's resume siginificantly, at least for the moment. FSU is a decent team and road wins in the ACC are always hard to come by. Next game: home Sunday against the Tar Heels. 2 pm et, everyone tune in for a little pre Super Bowl Terps basketball!

[HailinginSeattle]

Watched the game on espn360.com, big win, they almost blew it though. If they beat UNC Sunday, they'll be sitting in pretty good shape. On a side note, Mosley sucks!

Tough loss for the Hoyas lastnight, really disappointing. Big game on Saturday though against Villanova, if they can pull that off it'll make up for the loss. Being at home, and coming off the disappointing loss, I expect them to play well and predict a W... hopefully!

It didn't occur to me until about 5 minutes left in the game that I could've been watching the game on ESPN360. :doh: I think you are being a little hard on Mosley, he's played well this year. He'll bounce back from this game.

That was indeed a tough loss to South Florida by the Hoyas. I think they were still caught up in the glamour of the win against Duke and didn't really take USF seriously. They will be alright, but they need to stay hungry in order to get the best seed possible. I'd love to see them win the Big East tournament this year too.

White, of course, was referring to Maryland senior guard Greivis Vasquez, whose eccentric and brash style of play has facilitated a unique relationship with the Cameron Crazies, the avid Duke student section that creates renowned hostile environments for visitors at each home game. On Saturday, Vasquez will play his final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium when No. 8 Duke (20-4, 8-2 ACC) hosts Maryland (16-6, 6-2).

While White promises that the Crazies have plenty in store for Vasquez, he said their jeers would reflect a deference that slowly has developed over the past four years.

"I feel like a lot of Duke has had the same kind of experience," said White, a senior. "A lot of us do have a lot of emotion towards Vasquez, whether that's hate, whether that's dislike. It's hard to say exactly what it is. . . . However, I can tell you that a bunch of us, no matter how much we may dislike him, we do have respect for Greivis. He certainly, at least he shows the Crazies respect."

Rutgers beats Georgetown

[abdcskins]

Georgetown's inconsistency is bothersome. It seems like they only get up for the "big" games. JTIII better be doing some serious motivating at practice.

Huge game for Maryland coming up in a few hours vs. Virginia(who also needs some wins). After the loss to Duke we need to get back on track. Also, frankly, our resume isn't that good. Florida State is the only good team we have beaten(twice). This from the Bubble Watch article on ESPN:

The Terrapins won't have much time to recover from their ugly 21-point loss at Duke on Saturday. Because last week's home game against Virginia was postponed because of a snowstorm, the Terps will play three games this coming week. Maryland hosts Virginia on Monday night, plays at NC State on Wednesday and hosts Georgia Tech on Saturday. Even with a surprising 6-3 record against ACC foes, the Terps have plenty of work to do before Selection Sunday. Maryland has only two victories over RPI top-50 foes (beating Florida State twice) and is 2-6 against RPI top-50 opponents. There isn't much that is impressive about the Terps' nonconference profile either, with their best victory coming against RPI No. 107 Fairfield. After this week's three-game slate, the Terps still play road games at Virginia Tech and Virginia and home games against Clemson and Duke. Maryland could use a couple of more signature victories to impress the NCAA selection committee.

That is the signature win that we needed. Anyone who has watched MD this year, like me, knows that Tucker has been shooting the lights out beyond the arc this year. That is so damn perfect.

Awesome, I tried to get home at 4 for the original tip off to find NC state vs Miami. If wasn't going to be on I would have tracked the beer truck driver down and kicked him in the nads.

[Tulane Skins Fan]

Extremeskins Tailgate saves me! God I couldn't find this game and was seeing people referencing ESPN360 and I don't even know what that means.

[GoSkins561]

Tough game for Maryland.

[Tulane Skins Fan]

Tough game for Maryland.

Very tough. Win here, on the road, and they should be in the tourney.

[GoSkins561]

You would think they would be in the tourney anyway, the last time I checked they have a 30 RPI.

[Tulane Skins Fan]

Not quite lock status yet. If they didn't win another game, they wouldn't make it. The ACC is too weak.

[chipwhich]

Not sure I would go that far, by that logic they could POTENTIALLY still be second in the ACC and only Duke makes it. I don't believe the ACC wont send at least 4 teams.

[ixcuincle]

What? WTF.

Looks like Maryland is going to win.

Spoke too soon...a STEAL

[GoSkins561]

Please tell me his foot was on the line.

[ixcuincle]

It was clearly a three.

15 seconds left in a tie game

[ixcuincle]

tie game

TIE GAME

WHAT A GAME

Just like the last game I attended against MD at Cassell

WOW

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

god damnit :(

cmon maryland!

[OU_skins]

I still can't believe they gave up that steal on the inbound...

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

Vasquez has 39 points?!?! :wtf:

[OU_skins]

Vasquez has 39 points?!?! :wtf:

He had an unreal second half...

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

I hate Vtech x20 million. I hate them more than UNC actually, but not as much as Duke.

[ixcuincle]

Double overtime

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

I almost had a heart attack on that last play

[GoSkins561]

Vasquez should have taken It to the hole, stupid shot.

[GoSkins561]

After the replay it looks like he went with the best option.

[DCranon21]

They are ballin' today. Vazquez will be at least a 2nd All-American selection this season.

[ixcuincle]

Stupid statistics are meaningless. What do 6 prior OT games have to do with this one?

[ixcuincle]

Why do you try to hit the three there? I don't care if you're wide open. Tie the game up. That's bull****.

****ing stupid. Good win MD.

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

Yay...go MARYLAND!

[abdcskins]

YEAH! What a game. Vasquez sure shut those fans up. Game should've been over in regulation but Milbourne had that stupid turnover. Just a little extra drama.

Maryland will win! Can't wait for Wednesday.

[ixcuincle]

It was that fool Jeff Allen who kept turning the ball over or bouncing off foul shots. Blame Delaney too for missing two critical free throws that would have tied it, or the last possession where Green? tries to hit a three for the win even though they were down two. Call it conservative but I would have probably tried to tie the game up and go to a triple overtime.

It was a tough loss from VT's perspective but if you're looking from MD's perspective it was a solid win and yes, that game against Duke is going to be big. Duke is scared. The only shame is the game is hidden on cable instead of being broadcast on Raycom so I have to put up Johnny Holliday and Chris Knoche again.

[abdcskins]

I like Delaney a lot, he's a baller. But yeah those two missed free throws hurt. I thought the refs missed a lot of traveling calls in VTech's favor, but I'm not gonna complain about it because I am sure they missed some in Maryland's favor too.

What was up with that "USA" chant when Vasquez was on the line in the first half? I mean, I get it yeah he is from Venezuela, but that was just dumb. I saw him nodding his head like okay that's how it is. Then he comes out in the second half and just torches them. I gotta say I loved that.

I agree...I was like :wtf:. It was just plain dumb....they shouldnt try and compete with Duke for stupid cheers.

[ixcuincle]

At the time I heard it, I thought that USA chant was stupid. I'm not going to be a homer, that was a dumb chant that made no sense. "Tony...what are you doing?"

Lol

[OU_skins]

I believe the USA chants started a while ago at NC State. Its not like those VT fans are even being original with it. It is stupid.

[ixcuincle]

What made it so stupid is that he's going to likely play in the NBA so he'll pretty much be in America for a while now. And then fans have the ignorance to say USA USA USA like country has anything to do with it? Country has nothing to do with it, it's an invalid taunt, just yell out YOU STINK

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

I do have to say, I chuckled when Milbourne fouled out and they yelled after going ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh for a while - 'sit down! you suck!' :ols:

[TheDoyler23]

Beer the Turtle!!!!

[Tulane Skins Fan]

Big win for Maryland, and I think - and this is weird to say - that Vasquez is showing he's underrated. Very strange to say that about such a flashy in your face guy, but he really would be first team All ACC for the last Decade, IMO.

[Fight4RGIII]

I am so pumped that this year I bought tickets for the Duke@UMD game. 90 bucks isnt a bad price after seeing how this game is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Duke UMD games in recent memory.

[chipwhich]

Big win for Maryland, and I think - and this is weird to say - that Vasquez is showing he's underrated.


The problem IS and has always been with Vasquez is his consistency.

I have no idea how a player with so much talent, can sometimes turn in to an erratic horrific player. His ups and downs are total top or total bottom...which is why he isn't hyped more.

As Vasquez goes, do does MD.

[ixcuincle]

This game Wednesday decides 1st place in ACC?

Can't wait for Wednesday

[Kosher Ham]

I just can't believe the the Hoyas are still ranked at this point, they are limping in.

The Terps on the other hand are playing better ball and justified in being ranked.

[abdcskins]

Yeah the Hoyas are struggling right now, they look so lost on offense. If they lose to Cincinnati and their first round Big East tournament game they could potentially be a 5 or 6 seed, which three weeks ago would've been impossible. Then again if they win a few in the Big East tourney they could be as high as a 3.

Maryland is indeed on fire and are moving up in the ranks. I would love to see them win the ACC tournament *no jinx* of course.

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

Thank god Maryland decides to win while I'm going there :ols:

I would love to see MD win the ACC tourney as well, however they have only done that 2 times in the last 50 years so I am not holding out much hope. Even the 2002 National Championship team didnt win the ACC Tourney.

That being said...both times they did win it in the last 50 years it was in Greensboro, site of this years ACC tourney.

[ixcuincle]

Duke looks comically bad

[TheDoyler23]

I'm not watching until the last five minutes as per my superstition.

I'm not watching either but only because of lack of cable

Why aren't you at the game

[VTmike]

Have to give credit to Maryland's student section. As always loud and give it that unique feel that Cole always had. Too bad Virginia Tech clumps all its students in the rafters and doesn't put them down low and up top like UMD does.

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

I was listening to Tony Kornheiser today and he said Duke wasn't good enough to be where they are ranked this year, he said they were 10th or 11th ranked. Ridiculous how Duke gets ranked so high based on name recognition rofl.

Ok, I've defended you as a Duke fan. But get the hell over it, you get every call, every game, every year. You get ranked higher than you really are lately. You will bomb in the tourny just like you have the past years. Yes, UNC is NIT bound, but we just won another national championship and lost all of our players.

I mean, we have won the most national championships in the ACC, just won one last year and have one of the best recruiting classes coming in next year. Not to mention, we got plagued by injuries this year.

The days of Duke winning championships is over. It has been for a while.

[ixcuincle]

It used to. I vaguely remember people storming fields at RFK. When you see old-school NFL footage it is hilarious to see people storm Lambeau Field in 1967 / 1968 after the Ice Bowl :ols:

The shame is all pro sports except hockey used to have fans storm the field, fans stormed the field after Chambliss won the pennant for the Yankees, fans stormed the field multiple times for NFL games (see Giants - Bears 47-7 win in 1956)

[fullnelson9999]

Yes keep making excuses dude. Its not like youre making yourself look like a jackass or anything.

Believe me, I played against him...you dont want him unless hes a 2nd rounder. I love my Terps, but he is overrated and streaky. :ols:He's not going high in the first round.

Bwahhhhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Bottom line hkHog, in the past decade, Duke has won 1 national championship, UNC has won 2. Duke hasn't won one in the past 9 years (last one in 2001). UNC won it all in 2005 and last year in 2009. Your program is becoming soft.

Moved up to a 2 seed in the NCAA tourney IMO.
If they win the ACC tourney they will get a 1 seed.
They are tied for #1 with Duke but at this point have the 1 seed in the ACC tourney.
They should be able to wax the floor with Virginia.
Fear The Turtle !!!

[Kosher Ham]

haha. I think they are at least a 3 seed right now.

Pulling the one seed in the ACC is a huge advantage for them. Meaning to me 2 wins in the ACC tourney and a solid 2 seed at that point.

[Ax]

Riots and police brutality tonight in CP

Once the riot starts, there is no such thing as police brutality.

They should take a flame thrower and set the *******s on fire. That would pretty much halt the practice of destroying things because your team won/loss.

LOL at the Duke fans bitterness. Instead of giving MD props for beating them they turn there attention to the fans. Obviously the MD fans got under not only the Duke players, but REALLY got under the skin of Duke fans. I love it!

Great game and was the epitome of what a college basketball game should be. The crowd was unbelievable and played an integral part in MD's victory. Vasquez was Vasquez and the role players did their jobs. Williams is growing up fast.

I do however think a two seed in the big dance is a reach at this point, but win the ACC tourney and it's very possible.

[ST is my boy]

I love how coach K has not only taught his players to be a bunch of FLOPPERS on defense, but now he is even coaching them to be FLOPPERS on OFFENSE TOO!!

Scheyer flopping around like a fish, and kicking his legs out like he is potentially mentally challenged when he shoots 3's has to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

It will NEVER get old beating Duke.......EVER.

They seem to have grown as a team a lot the past few weeks but they are by no means unstoppable - even by a mid-major.

Nice enthusiasm man. Not sure about the #2 seed though, and I'm one of the biggest Terps fans on this board. I will agree that if we beat UVA and get say at least 1 win in the ACC tournament we can get a #3 seed. Even if we win the ACC tournament(which is a good possibility *no jinx*), I don't think we can get higher than a #3 just because of our lack of out of conference wins and technical "quality" wins because the ACC is down this year. Wins against Florida State, Clemson, and GTech are great, but they aren't like wins against solid top 25 teams like Purdue, Pittsburgh, Villanova, etc. Never know though.


He was probably very wrong but you never know. Maryland did get handled pretty soundly by W&M at home.

Also, there is no way George Mason would "mop the floor" with Maryland. There's a slight possibility that they could beat Maryland, but even that is pipe dreams this year. We lost a very good William & Mary early in the year by 6 points when Gregory was just coming back. They are a much different team now. It's a posssibility, but I highly doubt George Mason would beat the Terps this year.

[ST is my boy]

A portion of Maryland fans are the most arrogant, entitled, bitter people you will ever come across. Backtrack a year ago and the majority of the fanbase hated Vasquez and wanted Williams fired. The perception of Williams being the most hilarious - you have a HoF coach and suddenly he's "not good enough" for Maryland in the eyes of a lot of fans.

Never has there been a more entitled and fickled group of fans than what certainly seems to be a large portion of Maryland fans. You beat Duke for the first time in 3 seasons and all of the sudden you think you're the class of the ACC and act like idiots burning things and blocking Rt. 1 over A REGULAR SEASON GAME.





Also, there is no way George Mason would "mop the floor" with Maryland. There's a slight possibility that they could beat Maryland, but even that is pipe dreams this year. We lost a very good William & Mary early in the year by 6 points when Gregory was just coming back. They are a much different team now. It's a posssibility, but I highly doubt George Mason would beat the Terps this year.

Agreed. I wasn't meaning to say they would wipe the floor with them but it would certainly be possible for Mason to beat Maryland. (Although not likely right now)

Beating Duke aint easy......they are a great team. No question it will never get old beating duke....

JMU would lose 100 times in a row to Duke.

You come in and stir the pot, and then pull this bla bla bla MD fans are so sensitive......I mean what do you expect us to say?


It's fine. I think it's funny and overall I really like the people involved with the Maryland basketball program.

However, why does my school always get brought up? How many people in this thread actually attended College Park? Certainly nowhere close to 100%.


How often does JMU play top 25 teams?

How many times have they beat Duke?

;)


You've got me there.

Although we could beat Duke football. :cool:

I went to MD and I still feel the same way as I did a year ago. Replacing Gary is dumb and Vasquez is still a douche. He made some big plays last night, but I still cannot stand the guy.

MD is a good basketball program, but winning that championship made a lot of people think that they should be in the class year in and year out with Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Kansas, etc. Therefore, people wanted Gary gone because they were not.

Also agreed about the rioting after a regular season game, DUMB. But think about it, this generation of college kids did not have any big wins. They wanted a chance to carry on the tradition (good or bad haha).

Seriously is that what a JMU education is teaching you? Over generalization.

It's a sports event, MD beat their biggest rival to tie for first place in the ACC, and you come in here be bopping and spewing nonsense.

The JMU sports thread is just a click away....oh wait.

Stop over generalizing. Sorry JMU doesn't give you these types of opportunities to cheer in sports. ;)

That's why I tried to say several times that it's just a portion of the fanbase.

But that's exactly my point - Maryland made the Final Four 2 years and a row and came back with that Championship in 2002 and all of the sudden (some) Maryland fans started to believe they deserved to be a top program year in and year out.


It just got obnoxious as time has gone on - and like I said I really like Gary Williams and a lot of the players that have come through there.

LOL I should really change my name.

I wasn't trying to generalize. I think I made a point to emphasize I was only talking about a portion (albeit large) of the Maryland fanbase.

The difference is playing in a below average conference vs The ACC(not this year, but historically one of the best, if not the best conferences in the NCAA).

You really can't compare the two, the ACC always has teams ranked in the top 25 with 6 or 7 teams making the tournament every year where the CAA fights for a at large bid every year. Every once in a while the CAA has a bracket buster that makes a solid run, while the ACC usually has at least one top seed(1 to 4) in the tourney.

At this point I wouldn't be suprised to see MD end up as a 4 seed for the tourney.

Again, I'm not sure what the school I attended has to do with the argument.

I'm pretty sure a lot of the Maryland fans in this thread never spent an hour in a classroom in College Park. Doesn't mean they can't be a fan of Maryland or whatever other school they want.

[Heisenberg]

Possibly, but the number is certainly higher that the folks who support G-Town. I'll bet not 2% of the those folks have ever set foot on the campus.


Very true.

I wasn't even coming to this thread to start any nonsense. My original comment was just some good natured ribbing.

[GoSkins561]

I hope they don't end up at the dreaded #5 seed, which is why Virginia is a must win.

And the Redskins have gone through like ten coaches in the time that Gary Williams has been at Maryland. Teams that taste success want more success - it's like how the Wizards fanbase was pretty happy with just making the playoffs a few years ago, but now the standards are much higher (although the team is worse).

In any case, there was no way that Gary Williams was getting fired in reality - that was all just sports radio stirring the pot.


It just got obnoxious as time has gone on - and like I said I really like Gary Williams and a lot of the players that have come through there.It's hard not to admire Gary and the program he has built. Riots ... eh, a little stupid, but props to the Terps for beating Duke.

[abdcskins]

Yeah UVA is a big game to keep momentum going. Honestly I don't see us lower than a 4 seed...I just feel that we are gonna get one more win against UVA or in the ACC tournament and that would give us a stellar record.

Also, I would like to point out that Jordan Williams is the best freshman we've had in a while. He has shown up in big games all year. And look at his body! Dude is a warrior. Really helps to have a big man like that down low who will battle for rebounds(like the huge on last night to go up 2 with 1:28 left) and score down low. Also, I think Vasquez has played himself into a late first round early second round pick. Questions about his position(1 or 2) and his shooting still remain, but I think he has proven he can make big shots.

[Heisenberg]

I don't know how I made that mistake.

I meant to type "gotten obnoxious" - so feel free to bash my JMU education.

[Kosher Ham]

Vasquez is going to be a solid NBA player as a 2 guard. Offensively and defensively he has proven himself to be the best in the ACC.

He is not a dream pickup for a team, but he will be pretty good.

[KingGibbs]

Obviously, JMU is letting Maryland's success get deeply entrenched into his skin. But why? It's borderline obsession.:ols:

[GoSkins561]

After last night, Vasquez deserves to be the ACC player of the year.

I'm glad you've finally figured me out.

Agreed. That last shot was ridiculous.
