Eat Mor Chikin. Greensboro, N.C.

While most of the fans at the ACC Tournament today left the arena long before the conclusion of the Georgia Tech/Miami game, the BasketCases (and most other Maryland fans) stuck it out, despite the lateness of the hour and the 300-mile drive that preceded it. We were all there "scouting" the team that had managed to upset the Terps during the regular season, and we've all sent our game plans for tomorrow's re-match over to Coach B's hotel.

Frankly, apart from a few minutes in the first half when the 'Canes closed the gap to three points, the rest of the game was a yawner (or maybe we were just really tired from the drive). In any event, the crowd seemed more interested in the periodic appearance of the Chick-fil-A cow-riding blimp, which sent little cows parachuting to three or four lucky fans on each pass around the arena. Even some of the Maryland players, who were in the stands for part of the second half while waiting for their practice following the game, were trying to get the attention of the blimp operator to snag a cow.

Maryland-Georgia Tech the Sequel will be played at 8PM on Friday, the fourth in a long day of games for the BasketCases. But check back here late tomorrow night for our on-the-scene report.
