I Love the Terps!

You have to admit having a history like this is pretty darn sweet! I love the Terps! It’s almost like I never have to wonder if they are going to be good at the beginning of the season. I already know they will be!

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The University of Maryland men's basketball team finished the year ranked 18th in the latest Associated Press poll and 23rd in the final ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll, released April 3. It is the seventh time in the last nine years that the Terps have placed in both final polls. The Terrapins concluded the season with a record of 25-9 and advanced to the second round of the Midwest Regional in the NCAA Tournament.
Maryland has appeared in each poll 14 consecutive years, dating back to the 1992-93 season. The Terrapins have been ranked in the Associated Press poll 351 times, and have placed in the coaches poll 326 times.
The Terrapins peaked at No. 19 in the November 29 coaches poll, while their highest ranking in the AP poll was March 5th, when the Terps were ranked 17th. Maryland appeared in each of the final three polls this year.
The Terps made their 14th consecutive postseason appearance this year with their trip to the NCAA Tournament as a No. 4 seed. Maryland's 25 victories were the fourth-highest win total for any Gary Williams-led team, while four Terrapins earned all-conference accolades.

This is something the Gators defiantly can’t claim! I can’t wait til next year! GO TURTLES!
