It's been over 24 hours since the Terps big, no let rephrase that, remarkable and stupendous win against Duke yesterday to take the ACC Tournament. Unless you went to Maryland, it's hard to explain how big a deal this is. First, this was not the team any of us expected to take the Tournament. They are the youngest team in the league starting only one senior. The team no one really expected to get past the first round. And what did they do, they just beat three ranked teams (#14. #19 and #4) in three days. Even more so, they beat Duke (still a number one seed in the NCAA's) after the Blue Devils had a 12 point lead with about three minutes to go in the game. Duke's collapse is oddly reminiscent of the Terps collapse at home a few years ago when they blew a 10 point lead with about a minute to go in the game. (Notice one remembers the great wins as well as the painful losses)
