It wasn’t easy, at least certainly much harder than it needed to be, but the Maryland Terrapins escaped with a 74-68 victory over the host Virginia Cavaliers to win the ACC regular season title.
The Terps led by double-digits for much of the game until midway through the second half, when the tide really started to turn.
Maryland couldn’t seem to get anything to fall into the basket, while the Virginia Cavaliers became scorching hot from behind the three-point line.
Greivis Vasquez knocked down three critical three-pointers in the final five minutes to help the Terps, who really didn’t get the benefit of too many calls in the game.
The Terps were able to put away the win when Virginia head coach Tony Bennett chucked his jacket on the court in protest of a call in the final minute and was given a technical.

The No. 23 Maryland Terrapins finally got a marquee win on their resume with a 79-72 victory over the No. 4 Duke Blue Devils.
Greivis Vasquez scored 20 points, including a couple of big shots down the stretch, to lead Maryland.
Jordan Williams finished with 15 points and 11 rebound despite having to combat all of the big men Duke threw his way.
Adrian Bowie provided a huge spark off of the bench in the second half, finishing with nine points.
The win moves the Terps into a first-place tie with Duke in the ACC with just one game left to play.

The Maryland Terrapins waited three hours just for the game to start, and then it took almost another three hours to pull out a 104-100, 2 OT win over the Virginia Tech Hokies.
The Terps found themselves trailing much of the first half before grabbing control of the game after halftime.
It appeared as though the Terps have pulled out a victory until Landon Milbourne made a huge mistake by throwing away an inbounds pass late in the game.
The Terps then had a chance to win in the first overtime, but Greivis Vasquez missed a game-winning shot attempt.
Maryland finally was able to put the game away in the second overtime, but not before Virginia Tech missed a three-point attempt that could have won it for them.
The Maryland Terrapins looked a step slow for much of the night, but they turned it up a notch in the second half to rally back for an 88-79 victory.
Sean Mosley emerged from his month-long slump to score the team’s first seven points on his way to a game-high 20.
On a night when Greivis Vasquez didn’t feel well and really struggled in the first half, it was Mosley and a host of other Terps who stepped up to carry the team to victory.
Jordan Williams scored 18 points while Eric Hayes and Vasquez added 15 each. Vasquez also had 13 assists, showing that he can impact a game even when his shot isn’t falling. Cliff Tucker and Landon Milbourne each scored eight points.
The Terps fell behind by as much as 15 points in the first half and went into the locker room down nine. The deficit once again grew to double-digits in the second half, and many wondered if the Terps were simply exhausted from their blizzard-altered schedule.

The Maryland Terrapins used a game-winning three-pointer as time expired to slip past the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, 76-74.
It looked like the Terps had taken the lead just moments earlier when Greivis Vasquez tossed in a 40-foot shot with less than a second remaining, but the basket was waived off because head coach Gary Williams had already called timeout.
Williams drew up an inbounds play, and Tucker caught the pass with his back to the basket about 24 feet away from the rim.
He turned around, pump-faked once, and then let it fly just before the final horn sounded. The ball rattled into the basket, setting off a wild celebration at the Comcast Center.
The win allows the Terps to stake claim to sole possession of second place in the ACC and remain just one game behind the rival first-place Duke Blue Devils.

The Maryland Terrapins defeated the visiting Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Saturday.
Twice.
After a game-winning desperation half-court shot made by Greivis Vasquez was disallowed because head coach Gary Williams had called a timeout before he released the ball with 1.5 seconds left, Cliff Tucker made a 3-pointer at the buzzer on the ensuing inbounds play to give the Terps a miraculous 76-74 victory.
The little-known Tucker, a backup guard who isn’t known for his shooting prowess, caught the ball on the sideline and pump-faked his defender to cause enough hesitation to get off the contested shot. The buzzer-beater came after Georgia Tech’s Derrick Favors gave the Yellow Jackets a one-point lead with 3 seconds left in the game.
The win means the Terps are still unbeaten at home in the ACC, and now have sole possession of second place in the conference.
Vasquez scored 18 points to make him the 6th player in Maryland history to reach 2,000 for his career, and he also became the first player in ACC history to record at least 2,000 points, 700 assists, and 600 rebounds.

The Maryland Terrapins overcame a poor start to rally back for a 67-58 road win over the North Carolina State Wolfpack.
Greivis Vasquez led the second half rally and finished with a game-high 25 points and six assists.
Jordan Williams also was a key in the second half and finished with yet another double-double. Williams had 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Maryland played about as poorly as they possibly could in the first half and trailed by 10 at halftime.
The Terps simply refused to let a poor shooting night bother them, and they used stingy defense down the stretch to rally past the Wolfpack.

The Maryland Terrapins jumped out to an early lead and never looked back in an 85-66 victory over the rival Virginia Cavaliers.
Greivis Vasquez led the way with 30 points, 25 of which came in the first half. He also had seven rebounds and six assists.
Eric Hayes nearly finished with a double-double, scoring 10 points and grabbing nine rebounds. Who thought Hayes would come so close to a double-double because of rebounds?
It was nice to see the Terps respond so authoritatively after such a disappointing performance in their loss at Duke over the weekend.
They have little time to celebrate the rout, as they must turn around and play at North Carolina State in less than 48 hours.

The Maryland Terrapins came out slow and rarely showed signs of life in an embarassing 77-56 loss to the Duke Blue Devils.
Greivis Vasquez got off to a very slow start but finally heated up in the second half to finish with 17 points, but it was too little, too late for the Terrapins.
Surprisingly, one of Maryland’s biggest challenges on the day was defending unheralded center Brian Zoubek, who finished with 16 points and a career-high 17 rebounds.
It also didn’t help that the Terps couldn’t seem to get shots to fall that have been dropping for them for much of the season.
The loss drops the Terps to 6-3 in the conference at the midway point and will make a push for the regular season conference title much more difficult.

The game between the Maryland Terrapins and Virginia Cavaliers has been postponed and rescheduled for Monday, February 15.
The change is a result of yet another blizzard set to impact the Maryland area on Wednesday, and the storm was supposed to continue until tip-off.
This will also give Maryland fans who missed the North Carolina game because of the first blizzard a chance to avoid missing yet another game.
As for the Terps and head coach Gary Williams, they have to be less than pleased about the rescheduling.
The move means that the Terps will have to play three key ACC games in a five-day span, including two on the road. The snow is making life a lot more difficult for Maryland these days.
