Gary Williams can still bring people together

45192178_medium

Gary Williams and his Maryland Terrapins took "Bracket Buster Saturday" as an oppurtunity to enter his squad into relevant discussions leading up to Selection Sunday.  The Terps had been on the outside of the bubble looking in, but after defeating the mighty Tar Heels on Saturday, the Terrapins are swinging at the bubble with a machete.  

Willams, as you know has spent a lot of time underneath heat of the spotlight for his inability unwillingness to go out and recruit but he was able to woo 10,000 strangers into hugging each other at center court in College Park.  Greivis Vasquez looked like a damn lottery pick with his triple-double output of 35-11-10 .  We know he's not but not even Joe Smith or any other Terp has accomplished the feat in the last 22 years. 

Maryland now takes a giant step to controlling their own destiny (although Nick disagrees) and should go 2-2 through the next two games.  Throw in a conference tourney win and it looks like they will get tourney inclusion.

All that said, however, we still remember the beating they took at Duke.

That kid Vasquez played out of his mind, great game by him and rest of the Terps. Exciting game to watch.

Current Student at Maryland right here

Was in Student Section for the game of the year yesterday. I have been going to Terps games with my Dad since I was 7 years old, and this was by far the best game I have ever been a part of. Maybe it is because I am now a student. Yes, I rushed the court, yes I hugged Eric Hayes. And Grevis is the freaking man. Saw him at Chipotle the night prior to the game.

What a freaking game to be a part of. Thanks for the write up.

You have to hate losing more than you love winning.

Im tellin ya man

There each burrito there has something special in it that just makes you a better person. Friday night, they put a little “Triple Double” in Grevis’ burrito. He was eating it like a champ.
