This was the best the Terps have played all year especially the second half. The jumped out to a huge lead early in the second adn never gave in and allowed any sort of scary run by Wake. Mosley and Gerivis connected on back to back threes and gave the Terps a 15 point edge and the closest Wake would get was 8 but a three from Neal and then Vazquez would stop that run and elimante the Demon Decaons from thhe ACC bracket. There was alot of foul trouble when Greivis picked up his fourth with just under 7 minutes but he would be back a couple minutes later and stay til the finish and finished with 22 8 boards 9 assists almost his 2nd triple double of the year. Maryland was ice cold from long range first half but connected on all but 2 attempts in the second as Heayes would hit 1 Neal 1 Mosley 1 and Grevis 2 or three. Dino Gregory provided huge help off the Terps bench going 3-3 shooting and would miss an easy atte,pt late that could have sealed the deal earlier but let's be honest the deal was pretty much already sealed. Hayes would hit key free throws as he did last night and the Terps get the biggest win of their season as the advance to round three the seminfianl vs either Duke or Boston College. Coach Williams were you happy after this huge win "Oh you better believe it this was a huge win and i loved how we dominated p[lay in the second half or team just played great and we showed we belong in the MNadness". This time the Terps won the rebound battle this time and yesterday i mentioned that i dont think they have had a board advantage all year but im not sure about that as Maryland players seemed to get bigger and more boards meant everything to them as they won the battle 43-34 a nice advantage Milbourne getting 11 of them Neal 6 Mosley 6 and Bowie 3 hay Hayes even garbbed 1 and he might be the smallest gut on the court in all the games he plays and the announce mentioned that Dave Neale looks like he belongs in a bowling league and might be the third or fourth guy picked up in a church pick up game but all jokes aside he has played great his senior year for the Terps and Im sure they will miss the guy but he should have some Madness to partake in and that's always fun to be involved in especally if the Terps can make a run in it and go deep and who knows if they play there game they can. One note Wake shot 29.7 % from the field and a icy 3-25 from deep that's 12%. That's cold shooting and i just got a little chilly myslef mentioning it. Greivis is it good to be going to the Madness "Oh man it's great an unbelivable feeling but we have another ACC tournament game and we wanna win that and then win the final and take the whole tournament and say hey we always played everyone tough and we desreved to win those earlier games vs Duke adn Wake and Virgiania tonight we payed Wkae back and we want to do the same to the Blue Devils if they can handel BC after are game but whopever in there tommorow in that gym we gonna play hard play our best and see if we can go another round. I wanna play ball and the whole team does too and we pklaying good really good the first 2 rounds". Thanks Grevis. I wanna call him Beavis cuz they rhyme and that was a very funny show. Th Terps should be dancing and Caoch Williams and his team are all really thrilled with the big win and want some more greta plat tommorow. Hayes had 11 Gergory 6 Tucker a unuaslyy quiet 1 Bowie 5 Milbourne 8 but had many boards and a late scranmel tie up withe the arrow in the Terps favor Mosley was outstanding with 12 on 4-6 and Neale 10 One other note the terps had twicew ass many TOs 16-8 but still won and pretty easily 75-64 over the #9 team in the coubntry. A win tommorow would be sweet it's at 4:00 so the Terps will be right back on the court in Atlanta the sight of their national championship back in 2002.
