WUWS NCAA Tournament Preview Capsule: Maryland

Team: Maryland Terrapins
Conference: Atliantic Coast Conference
Current Record: 23-7, (9-6)
Notable Wins: North Carolina, Duke, @Duke, n-Michigan State
Times I've seen them on TV: 0

Maryland beat Duke! Twice! Once at home and once at Duke! Gary Williams has done yet another masterful job. He recruits good people as well as good players, so it's no surprise that no one from Maryland has hired someone to kill a teammate.

I was watching ESPN and I saw a guy named Nichols who is their best player, but I can't say I caught his first name. Sal Nichols? Anyway, he's pretty awesome. He can handle the ball, pass, stand in front of people on defense, and he's very long. I project him as the #15 draft pick to New Jersey. I checked on how bad he tore up Duke, but it turns out there is no 'Nichols' on Maryland's roster. Whatever.

Maryland is hot after a 3-6 conference start. And we all know what happens when a Terrapin gets rolling downhill. That's right, national championship. You heard it here first, Sal Nichols will lead Maryland to an NCAA title!

You forgot to mention that Gary Williams is a crochety bastard who sweats like nobody's business. Him and Bruce Pearl have ruined countless suits that way.

We were looking for Steve Blake the other night at the Sonics game and he wasn't there. What's up with that?
