What an absolute heartbreaker but kudos to the Terps for their furious comeback, despite falling a bit short. It seems it was about 6 seconds of defense short, which is the ultimate shame (well that and knowing that KS and G-Town were gone from the tourney). It was the perfect end to a morning in which I started watching the game on the computer b/c the GA Tech and WVU games were on the two CBS channels, headed with Shelby to Coopers which was closed at noon (WTF!!!) then to the new “sports” bar called Scorecard, in which we sat at the bar and watched the bartender set our place settings and try, painfully slowly, to locate the Terps game, finally handing the remote over to Shelby who checked the guide only to determine it wasn’t on. After 10 minutes of sheer frustration, we went to the other local, Pinehurst Pub, where we were immediately told the game wasn’t on. So, I had some Stellas and Shelby some Bloody Mary’s, then we returned home to watch the last 8 minutes.
I thought we had it, and it was this team’s style frequently this season to fall behind by double digits only to come back and win. It’s not a good way to play though, obviously, and it finally caught up to them. Thanks to the seniors for four memorable years, and thanks, in particular to Greivis Vasquez, who is no doubt one of the greatest Terps ever. What a career! I also tip my hat to Gary Williams, for a fine job and a well-deserved ACC Coach of the Year! Take that Coach K! Next season will be very strange without GV, Hayes and Milbourne, and I fear that not having a sound PG will prove to be our downfall. Time will tell, but I will be watching and cheering from Seattle. Go Terps!
