Terps will play Georgia Tech on Friday in ACC tournament quarterfinals.
Remember that the Terps needed a Cliff Tucker buzzer-beater to beat Georgia Tech, 76-74, on Feb. 20. The Yellow Jackets have an imposing front court led by freshman Derrick Favors and junior Gani Lawal. Favors had 21 points and 18 rebounds against the Terps. Against North Carolina tonight,. Favors had 18 points and Lawal had a key basket in the final moments.
"When we get back to the hotel we'll start thinking and talking about Maryland," Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt just said. "I have a lot of respect for (Maryland coach) Gary (Williams) and his team and Greivis Vasquez."
