Terp Watch 3/8

Note to self: If this blog is still alive in August, don't do a Redskins watch!


The Terps exited the ACC tournament today by losing to an 11-19 team. They were down by 13 at the half and lost 67-62.

Oh well. They have at least one more game before I can retire this short-lived feature.


What I find funny about today's lost is that during the middle of the season, MD lost several games, including many conference games. At this poin, with MD 3-6 in their conference the teams' hopes for the NCAA Tournament were in doubt. Since the team only went to the NIT the past couple years, someone wrote an article for The Diamondback tearing Coach Gary Williams apart. Afterwards, there were several supportive emails and columns basically saying, "Hey, shut up! Leave Gary Williams alone." Then the team won their last seven games of the season, which must have vindicated Gary to his supporters.

So now what are they going to say? Maybe Miami is better then their record indicates. I'll admit that I have no clue. Still, this team seemed poorly prepared for a first round opponent. Maybe the school paper will be fun tomorrow instead of the usual whiny.
