Too bad Maryland didn’t win and burn down their own campus while rioting and looting!

F Maryland, stick to crabcakes and football!

Terps lost because they couldn’t get loose balls or make free throws. Bilas was pretty even, I thought. When he gave the little lecture about pulling fire alarms, he seemed to reinforce the character he plays on the ESPN ads. Maybe just his legal training.

Bowie and Hayes made some pretty clutch shots with the shot clock running out. Terps are looking better each game now.

I don’t think Bilas is a homer at all, especially considering he actually went to Duke. Although I don’t like him as much as I used to. Everything he says is overly negative. It’s like he felt the need to fill the curmudgeon void left by Packer.

I know the terps lost but that screen and then Neal hitting the 3 will be replayed for years to come… An awesome moment in a very intense game.

Regarding Bilas, you gotta be kidding me- him and Mike Patrick could me more bias towards duke that Vitale is… seriously, to sit there and watch duke get every call is one thing but to have to hear two duke homers defend it all almost makes it unbearable.

I wish there was a way to turn up the crowd noise and turn down the announcers..

The “F*ck You Singler” chant was nice.

I personally enjoyed the 1000 or so Scheyerface posters. I think Steinz covered it. It was impressive.

BTW – Can some explain to me why when Coach K calls one official over, they all come. When Gary does, none of them get within 10 feet of him.

WINNER – Maryland fans for the “F*ck You Singler” chant after Mosley twisted his ankle.

No, I like Bilas. I think my favorite line of his last night was when he told Bowie and Paulus to “shut up” after they were whistled for a double foul.

Jay Bilas — He’s a Blue Devil and an ESPN guy, sure, but he offers informed, no-nonsense analysis.

This is a joke right?
