Holding Serve

Terp fans, don't forget that Maryland faces Iona tomorrow (Friday) at 7 PM at Comcast in the First Round of the 2010 WNIT. If you don't already have your tickets, here's the link. (Of course, you can also buy tickets at the Comcast box office tomorrow.) In any event, let's show up and give our young Terps the support they deserve to help them advance in the Tournament.

By the way, the first round of the WNIT kicked off last night (Wednesday) with seven games, all won by the teams playing on their home court (including an OT win by Cal over UC Davis). More first round games are on tap for tonight.

The other two ACC teams (besides Maryland) in this year's tournament are both playing this evening: Wake Forest hosts North Carolina A&T, and Miami hosts Florida Gulf Coast University. (In case you're wondering why Boston College isn't in the tournament, well, you can read the depressing story all about it here.)

Go Terps! Beat Iona!

Thursday night update . . . Only one of the ACC teams playing tonight made it through to the second round, as Wake Forest (playing at home) was trounced by North Carolina A&T, 49-73, while Miami beat Florida Gulf Coast University, 70-57. Miami will next face Florida on Sunday at 2PM in another Sunshine State battle.
