There is nothing more disappointing then traveling with your team–in this case the Terps—and watching such a heartbreaking loss. Some of my many observations of the night. Terrapin nation was well represented with a solid 30 % of the crowd in its corner. The 2nd hald comeback swept up the entire arena. The 16 point [...]

It’s funny that last night on Terp Talk, I stated that I could not believe that the Hawk didn’t commit on Wednesday night. Terrapintimes.com now reports that indeed he did but he just wanted to allow his Coach and high school the honor of hearing  it from him. Sounds like Gary’s kind of guy. Replacing [...]

Truthfully this was a mismatch from the opening introductions. Maryland was just too big for this team from Virginia. Sean Mosley was perfect tonight 8-8 from the field including 1 three and 4-4 from the foul line. Sean had been struggling with his shot in the past few games due to an ankle injury he [...]

I had the opportunity to attend one of the Terrapins practices a few days ago. The Coach is certainly the most intense, attentive mentor I have ever seen. He watches over every play , teaching every member of the team.  This was part of the Fastbreakers night with the team. Afterwards we joined the coaches [...]
