To many, the Terps’ win against Duke on Wednesday night was the greatest moment in the history of the eight-year-old Comcast Center.
We’ll assess that claim in the coming days. For now, here are some links to The Diamondback’s coverage of all the night’s events:
STORYBOOK ENDING: Beat reporter Eric Detweiler writes how Wednesday’s game was the perfect way to go out for seniors Greivis Vasquez, Eric Hayes and Landon Milbourne.
NEVER A DOUBT: With so much at stake and the Senior Night festivities, columnist Greg Schimmel says the Terps simply weren’t going to lose Wednesday’s game.
THEIR SENIOR NIGHT, TOO: Michael Katz takes a look at how it was also a special night for some senior student fans, who no longer will reside in Comcast Center’s student section. (Unless they sneak down, of course.)
STUDENTS CLASH WITH POLICE ON ROUTE 1: News ace Ben Slivnick documents the aftermath of Wednesday’s win.
The game was one to remember. I am proud of the noise and support of the students and their contribution to the win, but I am even more disappointed in their inconsiderate lauguage heard in the building and over the air. There are childern and adults, and I suspect many other Maryland students, that really support the team, but want NOT to hear the obscene chants. It reflects badly on our school, and lessens supporters’ willingness to contribute the funds that make Maryland athletics the successful program it is today. Yelliing obscentities is a very selfish gester. It is not something that will contribute to future success in the workforce. Please end this practice (again), and let Maryland be an example of how to enjoy sports and also be a good citizen. Thanks. Dale, Class of “70
