My story for tomorrow's paper references last season's bad loss by the Terps to a Virginia team that -- like this one -- was on a losing steak heading into the final game in Charlottesville.
Could it happen again? Could Saturday's game be of the "trap" variety? It sure helps the Terps -- as it has all season -- to have three seniors in the starting lineup. Those three can help keep the team grounded after the emotional Duke victory.
Greivis Vasquez, Eric Hayes, Landon Milbourne and other Terps remember all too well how it felt to trudge off the John Paul Jones Arena court one year ago after losing to the Cavaliers.
Said Jordan Williams today: "It's a tough place to play, at Virginia. We're not taking this team lightly at all. We're very strong on winning now and we're not going to stop just because it's the last game or because who the team is."
He also said: "That's the great thing about having seniors. They've been in that situation before."
