Maryland Terps:

BONUS BLOG: Déjà Vu All Over Again

BONUS BLOG: Last week's Terrapin men's basketball game vs. Georgia Tech had a déjà vu moment for Maryland men's lacrosse fans.

An inadvertent whistle on a timeout that wasn't called by Maryland head coach Gary Williams wiped out a half-court three by Greivis Vasquez that would have won the game for the Terps.

That sounds eerily similar to the inadvertent whistle that wiped out Grant Catalino's would-have-been game-winning goal just seconds into the first overtime at Virginia last March.

Unlike the lacrosse game, which went an NCAA-record seven overtimes and saw the Cavaliers pull out the win, the basketball refs were bailed out by Terp junior Cliff Tucker, who buried a three-pointer as time expired to give Maryland the 76-74 victory.

As Yogi Berra once famously said, it was déjà vu all over again. But this time the good guys came away with the win.

With the season getting ready to unfold Coach Cottle has issued the following statement and challenge to his team as it prepares for Bellarmine on Saturday.

Weather Watcher Edition

What a difference a week makes. Early last week the weather was great with temperatures in the 60s. Yesterday (Feb. 1) there was snow and ice on the practice field, temps were in the 20s and practice was moved indoors to the bubble. I guess I should not be surprised since we are still in the middle of winter.
