#1 Ranked Maryland Women Fall short at #4 Duke
I am not going to lie. Even though this game was nationally televised I did not watch it for one simple reason. The power was out in all of St. Charles, Missouri. I make it a point to watch all the games from DC sports that are televised at my school but due to an ice storm power was out in most areas around campus, and I without a car had no choice but to wait to see who won when power finally did come back. My dorm still has no power as it is on the old side of campus. Needless to say the building across the sidewalk has power but of course not mine. I was disappointed but not surprised they lost considering it was a “payback game” at Cameron Indoor Arena after we beat them in the national championship in April. I was surprised how handedly they beat us 62-81, with only 2 Terps scoring over 10 points and Duke having 3 with over 15.

Terps Womens basketball team beats Miami
It came as no surprise that the Maryland Women's basketball team was ranked #1 in the preseason poll after winning the national championship last year. With most of the team comming back who says the Lady Terps cant repeat again? The Terps are 18-0 and are still ranked #1 ahead of ACC rivals Duke #3 and UNC #2 nationally. The Terps traveled to the University of Miami and the result of the game was never in question as the Terps scored a season high 59 points in the 1st half. The Terps travel to Duke this Saturday to play the #3 ranked Blue Devils for the top spot in the ACC.

Terps fail to win an easy one
The Maryland Terrapins men’s basketball team has started off the season in non-conference play by winning 13 out of 15 games versus teams that will not have a chance at going to the NCAA tournament. They entered last night’s game 0-1 in conference play. The opposition tonight ACC pushover the Miami Hurricanes. The Terps played down to Miami’s all over the place style of basketball. The starters for Maryland went a combined 9-for-47 from the floor. Greivis Vasquez was 1-for-11, James Gist went 3-for-12 and Mike Jones missed 8-of-11 tries. The way Maryland played made it appear that they, again, would be NIT bound again. The Hurricanes (9-8, 2-1 ACC) compiled statistics that don't often result in a win: 31 percent shooting, 15 turnovers and a mere seven assists yet somehow found a way to beat the 25th ranked Terps.
