Miami @ MD

[TakebackOPACY]

Nice little run to start the game. Faust is clearly the primary ball-handler. Something about it looks different in the early going.

[TakebackOPACY]

So after Larranaga called an early timeout, the Terps sat Faust (and Padgett and Pankey). Mosley and Stoglin shared ball-handling responsibilities and Maryland looked unsure about what they wanted to do.

Faust is gonna be a nice 4 year player

Come on, ACC Network. How do you not give a replay of Turgeon's reaction during Padgett's 3-point play at the end there? I thought he was going to run out on the court himself.

Knock down the last one Stogs...

I want this win bad after last game against them.

[Mooreisbetter27]

I would say big win if we had any chance at the tourney.

As it is, I'm happy with this win.

[Slappy]

Wow, that was some win. Just when I think this team's packing it up, they throw down one of their best games of the year.

Big win as they hopefully play their way into the NIT.

[Floater]

Win out, finish 19-11 9-7 ACC with wins over UNC and UVA and one or two in the ACC tourney, they'll have a chance. End of dream scenario...But nothing wrong with the NIT this year, except to Mosley.

[Lucky Jim]

Most importantly, they bounced back from arguably the worst half of basketball we've seen in years (at UVa).

[PeteCanes]

I liked Scott's streetball moves at the end there... only thing that should have come on at the end of the game was a black screen and the word: FIN.

as in Miami's tourney chances.

Basically have to win out, or take a loss against FSU and at least two ACCT wins.

[The Epic]

I was telling somebody. If they somehow win out and make the ACC semis, or go 8-8 (losing to UNC) and get to the finals, I think they get in. In all likelihood, that ain't happenin', but it would be something.

I doubt it. I heard on ESPN Radio recently, with Dick Vitale, that the NCAA is going to try to award better mid-major teams over mediocre big division schools that go .500 in their conference.

MD will need to go pretty far in the ACC tourney to have a shot at the NCAA.

Ugh. The NCAA can't do anything right.

[Pedro Cerrano]

IMO 8-8 ACC record and 2 tourney wins puts them squarely on the bubble. Of course, a lot of that depends on which two teams we'd play in the ACC Tourney.
