Terps decide that they're a good team this weekend!

I know this is a few days after the game, my apologies. On Saturday, the Terps beat what appeared at times to be a surprisingly competent Virginia team in double-overtime.

If Maryland has proven one thing this year, it's that no team should take them lightly, nor should they take any opponent (i.e., like their next opponent, Clemson) lightly. This team has the talent and depth to go to the Final Four. And the maddening inconsistency in effort and execution to lose in the first round to an 11 seed by 25 points.

Maryland and Virginia seem to play a lot of close games, but the Terps usually come out on top - they're now 12-4 in their last 16 vs. UVA. Next on the schedule is a rematch against Clemson in College Park. As crazy at it is to predict anything with this team: considering how the Terps were embarrassed down at Clemson, I predict a decisive win!
