Open Thread

We will get to more substantial posts later in the week, but for the time being I wanted to put up an open thread for you to share your thoughts about anything going on in the county.

And while we are in open thread mode, what do people think of what has happened in March Madness so far? MD is sadly out after the second round. Personally, I think MD will have a strong team coming back next year with Bambale Osbey and Greivis Vasquez on the roster.

March Madness

NCAA basketball time. Please join the Howard County Blog in doing brackets. I have set up a brackets group at ESPN. Our group name is Howard County Blog and our password is Merriweather.

So Maryland got a 4th seat as several commentors predicted a couple weeks ago.

Maryland and the ACC Tournament

Maryland has been on fire winning their last 7 games including beating Duke twice and UNC. Now they head into the ACC Tournament this weekend and will face several teams that they lost to earlier this year. I think the Terps are a much better team now, but the post-season has a lot of potentially tough games for the Terps. The Terps will play Miami on Thursday at 2pm. In early January the Terps lost to Miami 63-58 at College Park. If we get past Miami we will face Boston College, a team that in December beat the Terps 73-62 in Boston.

Maryland Beats Duke Again!

Maryland beats Duke at Durham! The final score was 85-77 with MD leading most of the second half. The team has really come together. I have not seen a MD team this agressive on rebounding in years. We could be in for a very interesting ACC Tournament!
