No surprise that Greivis Vasquez won his third ACC Player of the Week award of the season, following his 35 point, 11 rebound, 10 assist performance during the Terps’ 88-85 victory over North Carolina Saturday.
Despite a pedestrian 12 points, two rebounds and one assist against Clemson last Tuesday, Vasquez’s triple-double in the upset was enough to garner weekly honors.
In other Terps basketball news, Maryland received one 25th place vote in today’s newly released AP Top 25 poll. Amazing what a win over a No.3 ranked team can do.
After their loss, the Tar Heels are now ranked fourth in the AP Top 25 and fifth in the ESPN/USA Today poll.
Duke, the Terps’ opponent on Wednesday, moved up from No. 9 to N0. 7 after defeating Wake Forest last night.
