NCAA Tournament Game 1 of (1-6) - Maryland vs. California

[Lucky Jim]

Finally my relentless pessimism has an effect and the Terps go on a roll!

[BaltimoreTerp]

Eight-point lead with 8:45 to go.

Let's hold it, Terps!

Suuuuush!!!!

Much better hustle, rebounding and ball movement.

The refs really aren't helping the Bears...not that they're calling a bad game, but...

Anyone else just get The Price is Right there for a minute?

Nope. That's funny though.

MD by 10 with 3 to go.

What did Bowie drink before the second half? Hes making all his layups!

[Ruzious]

This ain't over - considering how good Cal can be shooting 3's. Focus.

Ponytail's a crybaby.

Ponytail's a crybaby.

You know it! The announcer said he likes kids that care that much. I said "I like kids who aren't crybabies."

Bring on the Tigers.

[Lucky Jim]

Eh. Kid played hard. I've got no problems with that.

The Terps got a little lucky today. Can't imagine they'll have much luck against the Tigers - they'll need to play smarter and harder.

Great job by the Terps today.

I thought they played well all game long. Had the stretch in the first half where the shots weren't dropping, but they did a good job of consistently trying to get good looks and played well defensively all game long. Greivis too a few bad shots like he usually does, but he has to do that, because often times he makes those shots (and made some tonight). Bowie played great, Milbourne wasn't the force I thought he'd be but he played well, Hayes hit some really big shots, and Dino was the guy that changed the game from a game Maryland was leading to a game Maryland was going to win.

Biggest credit goes to the entire team for the way we defended. They had about three open three point shots and I only remember the press getting broken for an open three or layup twice all game. Outstanding defensive effort.

Maryland played better than Memphis did today. Maybe it was a wakeup call for Memphis and they'll play better on Saturday, because they are the better and more talented team, but if it comes down to heart and coaching, Maryland wins that game.

What a win! That was some kind of second half performance! Bring it, Memphis!!
