More than 30 years after playing at Maryland, Ernie Graham was asked Thursday night whether he thought the day would come when his jersey was honored by the school.
"Honestly, no," Graham said.
On Thursday night, Graham -- who also played for Baltimore's Dunbar -- joined 16 other Terps whose names and numbers appear on banners hanging from the Comcast Center rafters.
"It still feels good to be home – finally," he said. Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake attended the pregame ceremony.
Graham, who wore No. 25, played for coach Lefty Driesell from 1978 to 1981 and holds the single-game mark of 44 points, set against North Carolina State in 1978. He ranks 13th in career points (1,607), according to the school's website.
