*I wrote a story today on the FOG and the Fastbreakers, which provide support for the basketball program. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Marvin Perry, a Terps booster who died in 2006 and was an important supporter, personal and otherwise, in the life of Gary Williams.
*What do you mean the Terps don't play today? I'm ready to run. Actually, I'll be sitting calmly on press row when the game starts-- tomorrow night -- but you know what I mean.
The Terps, by the way, won't be in the coliseum tonight when North Carolina and Georgia Tech play to determine Maryland's opponent.
The players will be watching the game – as a team – at their hotel. A few of the assistant coaches will be at the coliseum scouting.
Maryland, of course, will get less than 24 hours to prepare for a specific opponent. But it's not as if the Terps aren't already familiar with both teams since they played them during the regular season. Coaches said they would be studying video on both Georgia Tech and Carolina in advance.
*For those of you who have been to tournaments here, feel free to let me know what you think of Greensboro as a tournament site.
I was looking at the seating chart yesterday. The Maryland section is in the corner, between Clemson and N.C. State.
