- Maryland escaped with a 64-59 victory that helped the Terps avoid their fourth loss in a stretch of five games.
- Maryland's inability to hit its outside shots over the past four games has only been compounded by the fact that the Terps have also missed their share near, at, or even over the rim. What has made it even worse is that second-year coach Mark Turgeon's team has not been to the foul line as much as he'd like and they need.

- The Terps didn't show up for the first half of Saturday's game at the Dean Smith Center and the Tar Heels looked more like the kind of team they have had dating back to the years when the legend whose name is on the building was still coaching.

- The improved play of the point guards this season has contributed significantly to Maryland's 13-1 start going into Wednesday's 8 p.m. game against Florida State. The contrasting styles of Pe'Shon Howard and Seth Allen were on display when the Terps beat Virginia Tech at home Saturday.
- It felt like an entirely new season Saturday for Maryland, which upped its energy level and passed its first Atlantic Coast Conference test in striking fashion by dismantling Virginia Tech, 94-71.
