After last night’s rout of Duke, the Wiz better get that No. 1 spot to make our Derrick Williams wish come true. And after he whipped out JaVale’s signature salute, you can bet we wish now more than ever. [SB Nation D.C.]

For most of us, which is to say for Wiz fans/Terps fans, that’s a dream come true, and I’ve never liked Kirk Hinrich (AKA “Pressed Slacks Attack”) more than I do right now.

In lieu of an actual DMV today, because I’m busy and stuff, please respond to Mike Wise’s love letter to Coach K, wherein he asks why we hate Duke over and over again. Thanks.

– Maryland has to feel good about hanging with Duke, at Duke, but Maryland Sports Correspondent Andy Peden says, “If they don’t start winning, they’ll miss the Tournament. They have to beat Villanova and go 10-6 in ACC.”
– Jordan Williams is a beast (23 and 12). The rest of the team not so much.
– Terrell Stoglin and Pe’Shon Howard need to get old young.
– The free throws (9-17) continue to kill Maryland.
– Not a big fan of the all-black unis.
– I’m ready for Kyle Singler to graduate.
– The Plumlees, who are supposed to be good, are not good.
– It was so nice spending a cold winter evening with The G-Man.
– Great quote from Gary in the postgame: “We didn’t have to sub with their small. We were just small.”
– Ron Thompson’s “Instance Reactions” (see the scroll above) are funny. They’re not supposed to be funny.
– Head over to our friends at Testudo Times for actual analysis.

In case you don’t get the joke, here’s the backstory: Williams, who was the national player of the year at Duke, was drafted No. 2 overall by the Bulls in 2002. One year later he got into a motorcycle accident, severing a main nerve in his leg, fracturing his pelvis and tearing three ligaments in his left knee, including the ACL. The accident effectively ended his playing career.

So it’s funny, you see.

Of course, in a perfect world, that shot would’ve gone in and the hearts of Duke fans everywhere would’ve broken into a million pieces. But hey, the world needs villains. And faces like Jon Scheyer’s to make fun of. We’ll miss you, Face. Good luck with your inevitable future as failed-NBAer-turned-Coach K assistant.
