There's a lot to get through this week, so we'll skip the witty (if they ever were witty) intro paragraph and get right to last week's ACC tournament, news and notes and this week's game vs. Fairfield.

The annual Red-White game is just two days away. The players see the end of spring practice over the horizon. So, the obvious outcome is that practice No. 14 is not as crisp as the previous 13.
Not so said head coach Ralph Friedgen after Thursday's two-hour workout at the team's practice facility.

Player evaluations are ongoing but Saturday's scrimmage could be one of
the more important days of the spring for the squad.
"It's really the last scrimmage we can get an evaluation of where we're at with everything; with all the blitzing in," head coach Ralph Friedgen said after Thursday's practice. "In our spring game we're not going to show a lot. (The scrimmage) gives us an indication of what kids' can handle, what kids are getting close to ready to play." The Terps held their first scrimmage of the spring last Friday and have a pair of practices next week leading up to the Red-White game on Saturday, April 24.

There's only one thing that needs to be said about this week - it's Hopkins week! For the 106th time (or 96th officially for the Terps - the first 10 were played before men's lacrosse program was an official university athletic program) the Terrapins and the Blue Jays will hook up on the lacrosse field.
In a bit of a switch, we'll start with Hopkins, look back at
the Navy game and then finish with some news and notes.

Maryland is now more than halfway through spring practice with the completion of workout No. 8 Thursday afternoon.
The coaching staff should get a feel for where the depth chart stands over the next two weeks as the team will scrimmage during three of its final seven practices, including the annual Red-White Spring Game on Saturday, April 24 (3:30 p.m. kickoff in Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium). The Terps will hold their first scrimmage of the spring on Friday evening in Byrd.

 Spring offers an opportunity for younger, and maybe some unheralded, players to catch the eye of coaches as they look to make a move up the depth chart or find a role on the team for the fall.There are some other positions which are deep with players who have seen extended action. Linebacker, wide receiver and running back are positions of strength for the Terps.

It might not be too much of an oversimplification to say that which ever team wins the battle when the ball is on the ground will win the game in Saturday night's primetime showdown between No. 4 Maryland and No. 1 Virginia at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium.The Wahoos lead the nation in groundballs with 40.00 per game. Maryland is third in the country at 37.29 per game. Those numbers can be fudged a bit depending on how stats are called during a game, but one thing that might be a bit more fair is groundball percentage, which looks at the percentage of groundballs in a game or a season that a team gets. Virginia has a groundball percentage of .596, which is the best among teams ranked in the top 10 in the NCAA rankings for groundballs per game (I'm not going to do all 58 Div. 1 teams). Maryland checks in at No. 6 in groundball percentage with .549. However, Virginia has played only one team (Syracuse) ranked in the top 10 in groundballs per game. Maryland has played three of the top 10 already in 2010.
