Terps!!

What a great day. The Maryland Terrapins Men's Basketball team, which has suffered the most schizophrenic season so far, finally caught a break and beat No. 3 North Carloina 88-85 in Overtime today. It was the best game the Terps have played in years. Greivis Vasquez recorded a triple-double, only the second person ever to do that in a Maryland uniform as he carried the terps on his back till the end. He finished with 35 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. Cliff Tucker provided a spark off the bench with 22 points (5 of 7 from 3) and Eric Hayes scored 17 as the Maryland bench outscored UNC's 41-5. The Terps never quit, after being down 9 at halftime and 16 with 15 minutes to go in the second half. 3 point shooting helped the Terps cut the lead to 2. WIth 1 minute left, down 76-70, Vasquez scored 4 points, including a layup with 8 seconds left and Eric Hayes added a layup to send the game to OT deadlocked at 76. Vasquez made 2 crucial free throws with the score at 86-85 to make it 88-85, the score in which Maryland held on to win by. This is such a huge Game for the Terps, who improve to 17-9 and 6-6 in the ACC and appear to be on the bubble for the NCAA tournament. With a key matchup with rival Duke next week, the fun has just begun.
