Tracking the Terps | Baltimore Sun — Maryland's 69-64 loss to Georgia Tech in the ACC tournament quarterfinals in Greensboro hasn't caused a whole lot of movement in the mock brackets . ESPN's Joe Lunardi, who had the Terps a No. 6 seed even after Maryland beat Duke and shared the ACC regular season title with the Blue Devils, still has the Terps in that slot facing Siena in Providence with the winner playing either No. 3 Georgetown or No. 14 Akron (prior to the MAC championship game) in the East (Syracuse) Region. I spoke this afternoon on the drive back from North Carolina with Jerry Palm, whose CollegeRPI.com websi...
5 hours agoLooking ahead to the NCAA tournament
Tracking the Terps | Baltimore Sun — Now the wait begins. It's a lot more comfortable than last year, when Maryland was confident, but not totally certain, that it was in the NCAA tournament after a 7-9 ACC regular season and the two wins in the ACC tournament. This year, it's just a matter of where the Terps will be seeded, where they'll be going and which teams are in their bracket for the first day and weekend of the tournament. Here are some thoughts from Friday's 69-64 loss to Georgia Tech in Greensboro, N.C. and how it impacts Maryland going forward. * Landon Milbourne broke out of his recent slump again...

Tracking the Terps | Baltimore Sun — Did Maryland lose Friday night's game to Georgia Tech in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament in the first half, when the Yellow Jackets went up 19 late in the half and were ahead 16 at halftime? Did the Terps lose to Georgia Tech when, after cutting their deficit to two, missed their next four chances to either tie or go ahead? Or was the outcome decided last month, when Cliff Tucker ran around the Comcast Center court with his teammates in tow after hitting a game-winning, buzzer-beating 3 against Georgia Tech? All of the above. The Terps buried themselves with too big a ...

- Instant analysis: Thanks, Miami ACC Now | News & Observer GREENSBORO -- Duke can thank Miami for a very valuable object lesson in tournament play. Mired in a first half of sluggish offense, surprisingly slack defense and obsessed with the officiating, the Blue Devils were doing just about everything in their power to keep the Hurricanes in the game. So what’s there for Duke to thank Miami about after the 77-74 semifinal win? The Hurricanes’ first-half prowess gave Duke a chance to hone its halftime adjustments, and the Blue Devils showed some real aptitude for tweaking their system. The results were spectacular. Down three at the half after Mike...

- Flip Saunders on Shaun Livingston Wizards Insider | Washington Post Among the few positives from the Wizards' 109-95 loss to Orlando on Saturday was the performance of guard Shaun Livingston, who had 18 points on 8-for-11 shooting and eight assists. It was the second time Livingston has scored that many points for the Wizards, and he played season-high 30 minutes 54 seconds. Livingston was the preferred point guard ahead of starter Randy Foye because of his height advantage over the Magic's Jameer Nelson, who is listed at 6 feet. Livingston is 6-foot-7, and he was able to post up Nelson several times for easy baskets. Recently signed to his second 10-day contr...

- Troy Smith might re-consider crawling to Cleveland Ravens Central | Baltimore Sun A week ago, Troy Smith's agent said the Ravens backup quarterback "would crawl from Baltimore right now to be able to play in Cleveland." Well, Smith might want to re-think such a journey. Since those comments, the Browns traded for Seneca Wallace on Monday and signed free agent Jake Delhomme on Saturday. So, Cleveland wouldn't be a viable destination unless Smith wants to be a third-string quarterback. Smith was tendered by the Ravens as a restricted free agent. A team would have to give up a fifth-round draft pick as compensation for signing Smith to an offer sheet. According to the Rave...
