The Maryland Terrapins keep their NCAA bubble alive by beating Wake Forest 75-64 last night in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament. They finished this game, unlike the home finale where they lost to the Demon Deacons after leading much of the game. This takes the Terps to 20 wins and an even 9-9 in the ACC. Some bracketologists believe that the 2 wins have punched MD's ticket to the dance. But Gary Williams and the team aren't taking that advice and are looking at Duke and the ACC title.
Greivis Vasquez led the team with 22 points and 9 assists. Dave Neal continued his senior season by contributing 10 points. As the Sports Freak has said, the Terps can't win with Neal as the second leading scoring. In this game, Sean Mosley stepped up and scored 12 points. It was a team win as Eric Hayes brought 11 points to the game from the bench. Landon Milbourne scored 8 points and was active on the boards with 11 rebounds.
While 20 wins and a .500 conference record are generally enough for an ACC team to get to the NCAA's, another win should shelve the question. Also in mind is that with Duke today and presumably North Carolina in the final, the Terps have a shot at the ACC crown. First things first though. Beat Duke.
