Day 1-Afternoon NCAAs goes to...

Maryland! Upset of California. Maryland outscrapped them, took better shots and had a much better commitment to defense. California's guards were adequate but not as advertised.

In the DC area and have watched Maryland play 10 times this year and here is my description of them.

Maryland has 3 guys Vasquez, Hayes (off the bench) and a chubby white guy who can make a shot, all the rest of them are faceless nondescript poor man DJ Strawberry type players.

Wash Post was giving it to Gary Williams this year about a lack of high level recruitment and not catering to the AAU circuit but give him credit he beats teams with better talent by hustle and commitment.

Watched Georgetown play last night in the NIT, they were the "Not Maryland", they were walking around after loose balls and rebounds!
