Front Page Story. The BasketCases have written a good deal recently about Sa'de Wiley-Gatewood's debut as a Terp, and it wasn't our intention to single her (or any one player) out today as Maryland kicks off ACC Conference play this evening -- particularly since the Terps epitomize the word T-E-A-M -- but we couldn't ignore the front page of this morning's Washington Post sports section that has a huge picture of Sa'de accompanied by a wonderful and interesting article by Kathy Orton, who reports on how well Sa'de is fitting in as a Terp. Now, our loyal blog readers already knew that . . . but this is still very welcome and noteworthy coverage by the Post.

BTW, if you haven't already done so, check out Dan Steinberg's D.C. Sports Bog (a Washington Post on-line blog) . . . yesterday in his Week Five Local Poll of top area men's basketball teams, the Maryland Women received one first place vote!!! (What, only one???)
