Greensboro, N.C. set to host its 22nd ACC Tournament this weekend
When the Terrapin men’s basketball team steps onto the court at the Greensboro Coliseum in their first ACC Tournament game tomorrow, its players will have good memories associated with the 51-year old arena. Many have credited a 97-63 throttling of UNC-Greensboro there on Jan.
Forward rarely played during freshman season, but improved gradually into a key player
A few weeks after the Terrapin men’s basketball team fell in the second round of the 2007 NCAA Tournament, Landon Milbourne walked into Gary Williams’ Comcast Center office.

Senior's trademark shimmy has deep roots
Greivis Vasquez’s body quakes. The senior’s shoulders shake and his face contorts. After hitting a particularly big shot, Vasquez doesn’t mask his excitement. Becoming the first player in ACC history to record more than 2,000 points, 700 assists and 600 rebounds has earned Vasquez elite status.

Freshmen have led Terps to best start in 24 years
When coach Kyle Spencer took the helm of the Terrapin men’s tennis team in June, he brought a new energy to a program that had been mired in mediocrity for years. He also brought the experience he had gained during his three-year stint as an assistant coach for Baylor, a team that never failed to reach the national quarterfinals during Spencer’s time there.
Terps hope to improve at the "X"
Terrapin men’s lacrosse face-off specialist Bryn Holmes acknowledged at the beginning of the season that the team that wins the face-off battle often wins the game. But luckily for Holmes, the Terps have bucked that trend in their first two top-20 match-ups.
Softball team sweeps doubleheader before weekend ACC opener
The Terrapin softball team’s doubleheader against Howard was supposed to be nothing more than a tune-up for the Terps’ ACC opener this weekend. They expected two easy, routine wins. The Terps did take care of business, sweeping the Bison with little trouble.
