Boston College, Maryland, and Virginia all had chances to advance while Virginia Tech seemed overmatched against a tough Southern Illinois defense. Had the ball bounced a little differently in a few cases, two or three ACC teams could be moving on. However, it's now down to the Tar Heels who are playing as well as any of the remaining teams in the tournament. http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/unc-carries-the-hopes-of-the-a.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/unc-carries-the-hopes-of-the-a.php Boston College Home March Madness Maryland North Carolina Virginia Virginia Tech Sun, 18 Mar 2007 20:23:24 -0500 By Michael In our preview of this game we said that the priority for the Terrapins was to slow down Butler's production from the three point arc. Evidentally, this is easier said than done. Butler made 12 of 26 from deep on their way to a 62-59 victory that sends them to their second sweet-16 since 2003. http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/its-raining-threes-alleluia.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/its-raining-threes-alleluia.php Home March Madness Maryland Sat, 17 Mar 2007 21:17:54 -0500 By Michael Please...quit calling them a mid-major. Butler has been ranked nationally all season and has more tournament experience than most of the remaining teams in the field. Their home court, the venerable Hinkle Fieldhouse of Indiana basketball lore, seats around 15,000 and is regularly at capacity so they're not going to be awed by the big stage. Maryland will have it's hands full against a team that has a strong backcourt, excellent defense, and rarely commits turnovers. http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/ncaa-round-2-preview-4-marylan.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/ncaa-round-2-preview-4-marylan.php Home March Madness Maryland Sat, 17 Mar 2007 10:06:31 -0500 With six players scoring in double figures, Maryland was able to rally from an 8 point deficit in the second half to defeat a tough Davidson squad on Thursday. The Terrapins were led by the solid floor game of DJ Strawberry (12 points, 8 boards, 5 assists) and great interior play by Ibekwe and Osby. The Terrapins were able to control the boards and eventually wear down Davidson star-freshman, Stephan Curry http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/maryland-outlasts-davidson8270.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/maryland-outlasts-davidson8270.php Home March Madness Maryland Thu, 15 Mar 2007 22:37:43 -0500 A few thoughts on Maryland's opener with Davidson (hint: energy and tempo). http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/ncaa-first-round-preview-4-mar.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/ncaa-first-round-preview-4-mar.php Home March Madness Maryland Thu, 15 Mar 2007 07:54:54 -0500 that to happen...

Possible games against Marquette, Texas, and Gerogetown in the toughest regional bracket. Thanks, but don't do us any more favors.

There are plenty of deserving candidates for ACC Coach of the Year, but don't be surprised when the name of Gary Williams enters the conversation. TRR will be faced with a tough choice on this one, and we'll release all our conference award winners prior to selection Sunday. http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/gary-williams-as-acc-coach-of.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/gary-williams-as-acc-coach-of.php Home Maryland Thu, 01 Mar 2007 10:00:18 -0500 With a six game conference winning streak and victories over UNC and Duke in the same week, it's time for Maryland to get the respect it deserves with a top-25 ranking. If I'm Gary Williams I don't necessarily want this since the team plays better with a chip on its shoulder, but it's hard to see why Duke gets a No. 14 ranking while Maryland remains unranked. Heritage is one thing, but game results are another. http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/time-for-maryland-to-get-some.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/time-for-maryland-to-get-some.php Home Maryland Thu, 01 Mar 2007 09:57:48 -0500 real game, the meeting between Maryland and Duke felt like deja vu (all over again). Duke has struggled all year against athletic teams, especially those with speed and quickness in the backcourt. Maryland was more athletic from top to bottom and frustrated the Duke offense for most of the night. The solid defense was a catalyst for enough early offense to propel Maryland to its sixth straight conference win by the score of 85-77, solidifying Maryland's new-found role as the most dangerous team in conference nobody wants to face.]]> http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/maryland-makes-it-six.php http://www.tobaccoroadreport.com/home/maryland-makes-it-six.php Duke Home Maryland Thu, 01 Mar 2007 08:21:39 -0500
