Terps Tidbits -- Monday

It's Selection Monday! By 7:05 tonight we will know whether we are a 1 or 2 seed. According to these Power Rankings sent in by one of the daily readers we are the third best team. Will this result in a #1 seed? I have no idea, I have a feeling we are getting a 2 and going to New Mexico. I just don't want anything to do with Bridgeport.

Article in the Charlotte Observer regarding today's selection process.

Article in the Trenton Times about our own Crystal Langhorne

Here is Charlie Creme's latest bracket and we are still a two seed. You can chat with him at 2 p.m. to talk about it all

Check out the poll on the bottom of the women's page at ESPN.com.

Jerry Palm posted his final bracket today and we are still a 1 seed.


And now for the sad news:

Crystal was not a finalist for the Wade Trophy. I looked at the list and it would be hard for someone to be taken off that list and replaced by Langhorne. Lang's a great player, but the others all have a little extra to their game that Lang can work on in the offseason.

In case you haven't heard, The Washington Post reports that the NCAA is asking some questions around Maryland. Sounds routine because Brenda took us for a 10 win season to possibly 30 in 3 years and did it through recruiting. I just question the timing of this all and how the press found out. Very odd that days before one of the bigger recent days in Terps history, someone has to send over a rain cloud. I hope the NCAA makes a quick assessment that everything is status quo and we can go on with our lives.
