Tremendous effort in every phase of the game by Wells - he willed the team to victory - helped by the kind of clutch play Trimble provides on a regular basis. John Wall - take note as to how Melo Trimble finishes games. And that was the most comfortable I've seen Cekovsky. I think he's finally getting it. And as for Jay Bilas and the rest of the anti court storming brigade - shut up! That wasn't a court storming. It was an orderly celebration done well after the teams did all their hand-shaking and showed respect for the Sconsin team. That was a great Maryland crowd.

Dez Wells played himself into the NBA Draft that game.

With Wells and Trimble we can do some damage in the tournament but as usual it's gonna come down to matchups.

Even though Maryland had been squeezing by in close wins over mediocre teams; I predicted they would beat Wisconsin.

Matchups do matter the most.

I knew we'd be competitive but I never expected this type of dominance at home this year.

Terps are going to be a problem in March. My main concern is the young bigs.

Lady Terps Climb in AP Poll; In Line for No. 1 Seed?

Maryland’s women’s basketball team has jumped up a spot in the latest AP Poll to No. 4, taking the place of Baylor who fell from No. 3 to No. 6 after two road losses to unranked teams last week.

The Lady Terps (27-2 overall) wrapped up its regular season with a win over No. 25 Northwestern on Sunday night to finish a perfect 18-0 in the Big Ten. They dominated their inaugural year in the conference -- beating conference opponents by an average of more than 15 points per game -- to become basketball team at Maryland (men’s or women’s) to go undefeated in conference play.

Their focus now turns to the conference tournament, which begins March 6th, and then on the NCAA Tournament, where they are now projected to get a No. 1 seed by ESPN.

No. 5 Tennessee is also in contention for a No. 1 and could make more noise in the SEC tournament if they end up beating No. 3 South Carolina. The Gamecocks, meanwhile, lost just their second game of the year on Sunday -- a double-digit loss at then-No. 13 Kentucky. It’s possible that both Maryland and Tennessee could now get a No. 1 seed if South Carolina slips up again in their conference tournament.

Maryland Earns First Top-10 Ranking in 12 Years

Maryland basketball was picked in a preseason Big Ten media poll to finish 10th in the conference. The surprising Terps, though, have now achieved that ranking on the national level after landing at No. 10 in the new AP Poll today -- the program's first top-10 ranking in 12 years.

It's another milestone for a program enjoying its best season under fourth-year coach Mark Turgeon. Ranked No. 14 last Monday, Maryland (25-4 overall, 12-4 Big Ten) jumped into the top 10 on the strength of an upset win over No. 5 Wisconsin last Tuesday. The Terps then beat Michigan on Saturday, pushing their winning streak to five games and finishing a 9-0 at home in conference play. The Terps passed Iowa State, Northern Iowa, Utah and Notre Dame to land in the top 10 for the first time since Feb. 4, 2003.

"They have a great plan, they guard you just well enough, and they have a lot of people that can put points on the board. Watching them share the ball and throw the ball around to each other, it’s good for college basketball and a great representation of how you should play the right way," Michigan coach John Beilein said. They’re a really good team and I hope you appreciate that."

Maryland entered the poll for the first time in five years on Dec. 1, at No. 21 and climbed as high as No. 11 -- and No. 9 in the coaches' poll -- before losing four of five road games during a rocky mid-season stretch and fell as low as No. 19 three weeks ago. But their recent winning streak propelled them five spots during the past two weeks, and their primetime win over the likely Big Ten champion Badgers earned them their first top 10 spot since the year after Gary Williams won the program's lone national championship.

Maryland spent two non-sequential weeks inside the top 10 in 2003, ranked eighth and ninth. The program's highest ranking since then, prior to this season, was No. 14. Maryland faces a pair of Big Ten road games to close the regular season, tomorrow at Rutgers and Sunday at Nebraska.

We could potentially see Maryland and Georgetown in the same region come tournament time. How awesome of a matchup would that be?

The real secret to his success:

Romelo Trimbelo was born on 2/2 Ground Hog Day

This birthday is shared by none other than Morris Almond (Wizards 6-0 and outstanding RPM) yours truly, Chocolate City Jordanaire (Just made a fine wahine smile)
