Fathers, children and instilling a love of sports

With Father's Day on Sunday, The Baltimore Sun surveyed local athletes, from Orioles and Ravens to Terps and Greyhounds, for cherished memories of their dads.

Consistent Robert Carter Jr. wants Terps to be at their best, especially vs. Tar Heels

Robert Carter Jr. has been one of Maryland¿s most consistent players this season, scoring in double figures every game (13.0 average, second behind Melo Trimble) and the team¿s top rebounder (7.0 per game).

Big Ten's rough start to season could hurt Terps' NCAA tournament resume

This has not been a stellar start to the season for the Big Ten. Aside from winning its annual interleague competition with the Atlantic Coast Conference despite its ranked teams going 1-5, Maryland's new basketball breathren have not exactly lived up to their reputation among the nation's best.

After years of struggles, Maryland is back on the college baseball map

Maryland baseball coach John Szefc paused and looked forward, trying to articulate just how special it was to be part of the Terps' first NCAA tournament team in 43 years. Szefc was just 4 years old when Maryland lost its first two games in Gastonia, N.C., in the 1971 national tourney
