Not a good individual day for players who got ACC PoY votes:
Vasquez (so far): 5-19, 12 points, 3 assists, 5 turnovers
Scheyer: 5-17, 15 points, 3 assists, 1 turnover
Delaney: 3-15, 7 points, 5 assists, 3 turnovers
We've clearly entered the time of year when "let 'em play" officiating is prevalent. The paradox, of course, is that not calling clear fouls limits the best players' ability to play.

Maryland with the potential last possession...but GT can't hit FTs. If they shoot early, they can easily have a second chance if the ymiss.
EDIT: 7 seconds on the Shot Clock left...so they'll have to take the shot early.

Big play by Shumpert. Strips it on the shot attempt and draws the intentional foul. Ballgame.
A nice zoom in off Vazquez' mom who just cant fathom how he didnt get the call?
PRICELESS!
Here we go GTECH!!!

I'm glad he made one, now the intentional foul didn't really mean anything. 4 pts in 3 seconds wasn't going to happen
Gtech is now a LOCK
I wonder if the MD fans will be burning anything out of rage tonight. Nah, it's raining here, so I don't see how they'll manage to find a spark.
The way Maryland played the first half kind of mirrors some of the problems that Duke was having as well, although Marylands were more pronounced. The second half saw a very aggressive Maryland team getting away with a lot of contact and a GT team that was clueless getting the ball in bounds and ball security. Despite that and the poor free throw shooting, GT had a big enough lead to survive and move ahead. No guarantee they will get through to the finals though. Wait and see in that regard.
Duke could also cause GT lots of trouble getting the ball in and up court.
I'm near College Park for the weekend. I just heard sirens go by and my first thought was the riot squad must be getting into position. This loss couldn't happen to a more deserving fan base.
