>> steve: we are set to go from college park here on comcast sportsnet at the comcast center, the first ever meeting between these schools although longwood has played two acc schools already this season, losing to virginia and virginia tech. they have never beaten an acc school, lost all nine games they've played in the conference since they went to division 1 in 2004. have been quickly into the game we have a whistle and a foul. and it's a shooting foul which will send eric hayes to the line for 2. foul called on swecker, his first personal.

and eric has got a 60 -- correction, an 86% free throw shooter on the year. maryland quickly out to a 2-0 lead from the line. welcome to our coverage tonight, ron thompson along with steve buckhantz. and a terrapin pressure nearly forces a turnover and longwood has numbers. beautiful block by hayes out of bounds. >> ron: if there is any question tonight what the game plan is, pressure, run. pressure, run. got a steal on the first pass and as they were fouling out of bounds they had to throw it back in but got back in defense and got a stop. >> steve: ron, it seems to be that type of strategy every time a non-conference team comes in here. if you aren't prepared to handle it, you almost have no chance. and as i said before, longwood benefitted by the fact that they have been to -- down to charlottesville and they have been to virginia tech. >> ron: they aren't going to be surprised by anything that they see because of their schedule,

they have a tough schedule in general, so they're not going to be surprised. it's just a matter of whether or not they can deal with the heat and deal with the pressure for 40 minutes. >> steve: hayes battling, he gets a rebound and eric hayes now has 300 rebounds for his career. >> ron: and that's where maryland has the advantage. they have a huge advantage in terms of size. eric haze is a big guard, but longwood's players are 6' 6. >> steve: tremendous tip in but it won't count. smith came flying in and tipped it in beautifully but they say he's over the back. >> ron: as a coach you aren't upset at that. you want fouls going to the boards trying to get rebounds. as a coach not upset at all. an aggressive play trying to get a rebound. the key thing is dana cannot afford to get into foul trouble. >> steve: he is the big gun averaging over 16 points a game for the lancers. vasquez. drives.

shoots. no good. battling for the boards inside. if play by jordan williams. >> ron: jordan williams for a quinn season can just relish in that the role, being the big strong body. maryland is more than happy with him. >> steve: terps out to a six point lead here early. we haven't even played two minutes of this game. swecker for 3, a little short. hayes the rebound. nice defensive play but taken down by landon milbourne who scores. >> ron: they might want to think about a timeout if maryland gets another steal and scores. >> steve: nice play inside by billy robinson. he is hammered, and will go to the free throw line as milbourne is a little slow to get up. >> ron: watch the work jordan williams does on the low back. greivis drives, doesn't get the pass

the most athletic team. they are taking it right at longwood. you don't want a team stick around and think they're capable of playing with you. they're trying to make it crystal clear you don't belong on the court with us. >> steve: setting the tone early. dawson is called for the foul. and mosley makes the first. came into the game 40-51 from the line. sophomore from baltimore. makes them both. third on the team in scoring, and second in rebounds. and intercept again. milbourne inside, had it stripped away out of bounds.

it will be maryland's ball. >> ron: maryland is doing an interesting thing. once they get the steal they aren't trying to pull it back out and run offense. they are trying to attack, attack, attack. >> steve: 11-point terrapin lead. mosley. with vasquez who gets the ball taken away from him on a beautiful play by dawson. >> steve: nice play inside, the basket. mosley off the pass gets it in. >> ron: excellent rebound. the man tried to keep the play and they just crawled over the top of the screen. maryland is running their flex offense. a lot of flex a lot of action along the baseline.

a lot open. >> steve: swings the ball around. aaron fisher not there, rebound to hayes. his third rebound, mill borne underneath. and milbourne has scored in double figures in a team high 13 games this year. and a foul called on mosley. maryland has been hot, same for greivis vasquez, who ease missed 4 shots -- who's missed 4 shots but his teammates are 7- 7 from the field. the pick and roll. carter inside, has a block, and out of bounds, it will be longwood basketball, i believe, but there is a timeout with

15:50 to play in half number one and the terrapins have taken control early, leading 18- 5. cal 7 [ mal th ♪ [ ma lf torie the [ ad a i'a flke arfly stin a b ♪ f floa a bly. fg liee. fgonnt liutte ing bee ♪ f stin a.. stin a b ♪ womalf torie e g. n #2 thaght. womalf torie e g. coulchineicoly su% oron cinsu womalf torie e g. : isoo toneso tasu% oron cinsu

pace to score 170 points in this game. >> ron: they're up 18-5, with 5:50 to play in the first half. >> steve: are you wondering about longwood? they're in the heart of the state of virginia, farmville. the same location as hampton, about 54 miles west of richmond. small enrollment, about 4700 students. actually the third oldest institution of higher learning in virginia after the college of william and mary and uva. they had a devastating fire on campus in 2001, rebuilt several buildings. school founded in 1839, became longwood college in 1949. and a co ed school in 1976. designated university status in '02 and in fact on the one-year anniversary of the campus fire is when they got their university status. and as you saw, the most famous alum is jerome kircy. a lot of people had no idea

jerome kircy went to longwood college and played before the portland trail blazers. >> ron: you had to dig deep to pull that one out, didn't you? >> steve: yeah. longwood would like to get to the big south conference. they are currently playing as an independent school. came into the game with a record of 4-14 in the midst of a 7-game road swing. including their most recent game which was a 75-63 loss with south dakota a week ago. milbourne will go to the line. >> ron: early on maryland has done an excellent job at not settling for the long jump shot. everything is some action towards the basket as you see landon attacks

>> steve: the terrapins have 12 second chance points and already 11 points off their bench. and james padgett, the freshman from brooklyn getting a terrific opportunity tonight.

>> ron: james can be a huge help for maryland if he doesn't get one play run form. if he does just this. get on

>> steve: maryland on top of longwood 44-23 with 7:10 to go in the 1st half. gary williams able to use most of his young players early in this game, as the terps got out to a quick lead. gary -- >> ron: if you're longwood that's what hurts when you get to the foul line and get an

opportunity to get the easy free shots and they don't fall. they're working so hard against maryland full court pressure and half court pressure you want to knock them down if you can. >> steve: dana smith with 9 points. vasquez back in the game for maryland. they go to greivis in the low post. shoots and misses. looking for his first field goal. he is 0-5 in this game. swecker, a little bit off the mark. and they reset.

>> ron: smart possession that time. they tested the fast break, wasn't there. pull it back out and try to get a good look. >> steve: a terrific move. he scores. >> ron: that is smart basketball. if you are gary williams, that's what you're pleased at, that you are not just settling for long jump shots or bad shots. coming out of the first television break, maryland terrapins shooting 62% from the floor because they've only taken three 3's. the last two games they were shooting only 54%. that is part because they see they have the advantage inside. >> steve: long jumper the three off the mark for washington but longwood comes down with it. this time sean mosley is 4-4 with 10 points. and again maryland comes away with it. mosley for 3. [ cheers and applause ] sean mosley.

>> ron: a great production in his game from -- increase in his game from last year to this year. coming into the season gary thought if he could get him going they had a chance to be special and he's delivered this year. >> steve: he is 5-5 and has 13 points. >> ron: he's the kind of guy that won't just settle on the jump shots. he's hit on the boards, he feels the guy on the floor. he does everything. >> steve: try the pick and roll again, it didn't work. knocked away. out of bounds off maryland. longwood will get possession. sean mosley has been outstanding. >> ron: exactly. he doesn't just settle for the long ball. he can drive with that strong body, but if you sell him short and don't think he can shoot he can knock down the long ball as well. he's versatile. he's one of those guys, he reminds me a little bit of like

you know is he a small forward or a 2 guard. >> steve: milbourne and mosley have been on fire. milbourne is 6-7, that's 14 and mosley has made all five, he has 13 points. and the terps force yet another lancer turnover. their ninth. 4:20 to play first half. steve buckhantz, ron thompson, our comcast sportsnet crew. maryland plays the final non- conference game of the year. [ crowd booing ] . >> steve: and that basket will not count. greivis vasquez wanted it, but the official, john gaffney said the foul occurred before greivis took the shot. and he'll go to the line to shoot 1-1. >> ron: i tell you for gary, you have to be pleased with, really, on a night when greivis

has struggled, he hasn't scored that much tonight, and he is struggling to get his offensive game going, other guys have stepped up. >> steve: yeah. >> ron: that's what he said he wanted to see in this kind of game. who would be some guys who could step up. >> steve: that is the first point of the game for greivis vasquez in the last two games, he is averaging 23 and a half points, four rebounds and 8 assists. out of bounds. it will be longwood ball. vasquez had a season high 30 in the overtime loss at wake forest. straight game with at least 20 points or more. and he led maryland with 17 points in the win at boston college. he went 17-13 from the floor and that game had nine assists and a couple of steals. but has not been able to convert from the feerld here yet tonight. -- from the field here yet tonight. >> ron: did an excellent job of running the offense, getting

the basketball. >> steve: second block for dino gregory and a foul called. and maryland will go back to the free throw line. the terrapins collectively so far in this game from five blockedded shots. and they [ birds screech ] [ loud rumbling ]

>> steve: maryland by 26 points with 3:46 to go in the 1st half, as gary williams has to be pleased with what he's seen so far. his team out running up and down the court and getting play off the bench. tonight's geico acc moment takes us back a week. january 10th at comcast center, the terps opening up acc play against -- against then 18th ranked florida state and maryland shooting 10 of 16 from beyond the arc. eric hayes went 5 of 6, he had 17 points. greivis vasquez had 17 of his 22 in the second half, including a huge three-pointer with two minutes to go. and the terps win it 77-68 over the knolls and then a win at boston college in convincing fashion for two acc victories. the one loss in overtime at lake forest. and the acc play will continue for maryland against nc state. coming up on saturday.

and then miami, a week from tonight, both of those games here at comcast. comcast center nice offensive play. the terps battle and come away with it. tough pass. i think it was knocked out of bounds by longwood and they'll give it to the terrapins. the lead has grown to 28. for maryland. 11-5 on the year coming in. here is vasquez. jump ball, the possession arrow belongs to longwood.

>> ron: if you're longwood, you want to try to get some action going to the basket, or set for some of your inside guys. each possession has them coming down shooting jump shots, probably a little too quickly. try to get some action going towards the basket towards maryland's situation where they have to foul. >> steve: lancers shooting just 30% from the field. they opened the season at eight straight losses. >> ron: yeah, but that's -- you need -- each possession in the last five possessions they came down and took the long jump shot. put maryland on their heels. >> steve: e.j. dawson his first field goal. nice move inside by padgett. he creates the contact, draws the foul. he'll shoot two. i like that move. >> ron: if you are a maryland fan and haven't

very good about that game. even they they came up a bit short in overtime. good looks that just didn't fall. then when they played boston college they were a nigh lating. c from the word go. greivis had 17 points, nine assists and just one turnover. he's playing excellent basketball right now. >> steve: played 3 in the conference, 2-1 and currently behind virginia, duke and clemson as the cavaliers are 3- 0 undefeated so far, in conference play. half time in college park. maryland and longwood, we get set for second half action coming up here on comcast sportsnet. ááááááááááááááááááá n ] ha cal

that first half. made 2 of 4 three pointers, and missed three free throws in 16 attempts. all right. here is the trivia question for you and everyone else tonight. how many different conferences has gary williams coached in? and can you name them? >> ron: i know three, right away. caa, acc, and big east. what's the fourth? >> steve: big 10. >> ron: ohio state. >> steve: and actually, when he coached at a.u. it was not the caa. >> ron: what was it? >> steve: i believe it was the ecac. >> ron: ok. >> steve: many, many moons ago. but he is, of course, maryland's all-time winningest coach past lefty four seasons ago who had 348 wins in college park. gary coming into, tonight, 429, and he got his 600th career

victory season before last in that game at boston college. only eight active head coaches in division 1 have 600 or more career wins, just 5 of them have more than gary. mashefski, calhoun, bayheim, huggins and tenders. >> ron: pretty good company. >> steve: i would say so. >> ron: maryland has grown a lot. you know, i've done a lot of their games this year, a lot of their games early on. and they are starting to mature a little bit. i can see them not settling for the first shot. i can see them working their offense. passing up a good shot for a better shot. that is the kind of growth and match maturation process that you are proud to see. and need to see. >> steve: working on baltimore, sean mosley lookedded like his lower back when he came out of the game. back at the other end, greivis

vasquez his first field goal of the game. 0-5 in the first half and still working on mosley. and even up by 31 points, gary williams still crouching on the side lines. >> ron: he will crouch, he will cringe, he'll go ballistic. until he gets in his car and drives away tonight. that's why they're playing as well as they're playing right now. >> steve: terps have a record of 68-7 in non-conference games here at comcast center. if you include field house with gary as the head coach, 148 wins and seven losses. won 62 of the last 66 regular season non-conference games here at comcast center, under gary williams. and at the other end of the court, mike gillian might be familiar to a lot of local

guys, because before longwood, he was an assistant for jim layer larenega at george mason. landon milbourne with another field goal. >> strong to the mask. >> 7-8 from the field and battles on the rebound. hayes has it. 2-2. vasquez with the night pass knocked away. meantime, sean mosley went into the locker room and they'll check on his injury there. >> ron: trust me. if it's any slight possibility that it ought to be a lingering injury, we won't see him any more tonight. >> steve: i can't imagine there

>> steve: maryland leading 71- 34.

a big night for jordan williams, the freshman from connecticut. and he is getting lots of valuable playing time, ron. >> ron: he gets on the glass and doesn't just leave it up to the guards to finish the play. he runs right up under the rim. works, jumps two and three times. comes up with the present, has the put-back. >> steve: 7 rebounds for jordan williams along with 12 points. four of the rebounds on the offensive glass. you can see he's made 6 of 8 from the field. dana smith, the best player on this longwood team, ron, and you know, as we said before, a daunting task for them to come into this building, although they've gone to virginia, gone to virginia tech this year. you know, they're better than they know sat least tonight, for sure. >> ron: they really are. their record doesn't do them justice because of the amount of road games they have to play. this year alone they are playing 19 road games. and over the last four years, they have a home record of 37- 20. so if they were able to play a few more games at home, maybe get into a conference at some

point, where you know you will have a certain amount of home games locked in, they would be that much better. >> steve: pretty drive but unable to fwas aaron mitchell, and good news for maryland fans, sean mosley is back on the bench. we don't know if he'll be back in the game but he's out of the locker room. went this there about 10 minutes ago with a little bit of a back issue. terps will face nc state here saturday. and miami in a week. followed by gregory! what a perfect play. he timed it beautifully. >> ron: perfect timing, perfect effort, and that is what gary williams wants from gregory. that's what he wants from padgett, that's what he wants from williams. that kind of consistent effort in play. >> steve: his first field goal in five attempts and vasquez gets the steal and then he's fouled by kevin swecker.

>> ron: watch gregory. just working around the basket. shot goes up. he starts to angle his way and fight towards the front of the rim. that's the key. jup pounding and pushing. when the shot goes up just jump. sometimes you might not get it but that time he finished strong. >> steve: dino gregory who played at mount st. joe's in baltimore with kevin swecker, although swecker is a year older than dino. ball knocked away off of dana smith. it will be maryland's ball. swecker helping mount st. joseph's to a 38-1 record. was third team all baltimore catholic league honors.

>> steve: longwood assistant coach tim fudd on the left. chris naki on the right. where is the connection? tim fudd played at american university when chris naki was the head coach at a.u., many years ago. >> ron: do you think chris called and gave him a scouting report. >> steve: i heard tim fudd said before the game naki used to blast people on a regular basis. i told n-aki that. he said no way. i was a mild-mannered young man with hair. and none of it was gray at the

time. although it might have been for naki. does the color with long-time legend johnny holliday. best in the business. still working the ball. gregory double teamed. nice job to get it out to tucker with plenty of time. and now back to gregory. for mosley. jumps it inside for padgett. score it, and he's fouled. >> ron: see, that is a prime example of passing up a good shot for a better shot. sean mosley as a little jump shot but is trying to get closer, trying to get padgett going. comes off the screen, the little jump shot. dumps it down low trying to get the young fellow going and start feel a little better about himself. maryland has made a conscious effort to go inside tonight. >> steve: two more points in the paint.

padgett misses the free throw and a foul is called on maryland, and i think it's on dino gregory. >> ron: yeah. over the back a little bit. that's the effort play. trying to go through the board and get the rebound. >> steve: padgett with eight points four rebounds. he's made all three field goals with some excellent chances tonight for the freshman from brooklyn. get a little playing time. last win for longwood game january 12th at cal state bakersfield, 82-81. this is the sixth of seven games on the road for r the lancers. they'll be at savannah state saturday, and then home against washington at venice on january 30th. good basket, and swecker finally gets one. their wins have come over florida gulf coast, virginia wise, campbell and cal state bakersfield.

padgett inside, nice pass. and he'll try it again from the free throw line. but again, they look inside for the open opportunity. >> ron: exactly. you can tell it's something obviously, there is a height differential. something that coach williams said going into this game, we want to work on and put an emphasis on. that's where i said that you see the maturation process in the terrapins. even though they had the advantage inside. they passed up some jump shots to make a concentrated effort to do what coach williams has been asking them to do. that is the progression you want to see as a team when you are a coach. >> steve: the reserves doing a nice job and gary will get vasquez and milbourne back in the game. eric hayes as well. maryland in the paint tonight has made 28 of 33 field goals. >> ron: good things happen when you go inside. either you get an easy basket or you get fouled. the layup is the easiest shot in basketball to make but the

hardest to get. when you get it you want to cherish it. because it's so easy to make, guys usually tend to foul you if you have a wide open shot. >> steve: 99 9th game of gary williams' coaching career. he'll hit 1000 saturday against n.c. state. pretty play by damon smith. >> ron: he has 18 points. we haven't talked a lot about greivis vasquez. he hasn't made a lot of field goals tonight. clearly he is having a terrific year. he opted to stay in college park which i thought was very wise. and he is proving his worth. he is so good this year, has improved his game in so many areas. and somebody was suggesting before the game, someone in maryland as we look at the last longwood basket, that vasquez would have to be talked about when discussing the best players in maryland basketball history. now you've got obviously -- >> a really good one. >> -- a long rich tradition of

guys like juan dixon. >> ron: adrian branch. >> steve: king. you have tremendous players. so i don't know if you could put him in that category. yet if you look at his number status tiskly, they're way up there. >> ron: well, you have to put him in that category, especially if you look at his value to a team. when we look at what agent branch meant or what francis met or what a john lucas meant, they were key figures in the success of the team. >> steve: right. >> ron: and they got stats. >> steve: juan dixon won a national championship. >> ron: exactly. he has to be mentioned in that category because he is getting the numbers. imagine if you take him out of the maryland terrapin equation. what this team would look like and how it would be. he is definitely valuable to this team. i think he made the right decision in coming back to school. i don't think he was ready. >> steve: a basket again. of course you have tom mcmillan and lenny elmore. buck williams. a lot of great players. >> ron: came out of here.

>> steve: yeah. >> ron: lonnie baxter. steve blake. the list is long. >> steve: goes on and on. we saw stevey blake yesterday in verizon center when the wizards knocked off portland. and he is another guy that came out of the school in typical point guard the fashion, gets the ball up and down the court quickly, makes good decisions, excellent passer, and yet he's improved his shooting as well. >> ron: i think when you come to maryland, i think you're going to get a coach that is not going to sugar coat how he's going to coach you. and if you can take the weight, if you can take the pressure, when you leave here, you will be better for it. and i think a guy like greivis vasquez has been here for four years. he hands what it's like to carry a team. he understands what it's like to play for gary williams. he understands what it's like to follow in the foot steps of all those guys you just saw up in the rafters, that he will be prepared for the next level.

>> steve: 14 players have banners hanging from comcast center, plus gary williams. kicked ball. you mentioned keith boot, and of course chucky brizell is over there as well. joe harrington on the right. there is chuck on the left. chuck's dad comes to a lot of maryland games, as well. >> ron: he wasn't a bad coach was he? >> steve: not bad, no. here or at jmu or davidson or wherever he was. the left hander. >> ron: i always say he added the flare to being a college coach. you see the guys now trying to dress and wear the suits. it started long ago. >> steve: yeah. >> ron: with coach driesell. talk about recruiting. my dad used to tell stories about the time and effort and energy that he used to put in to signing guys, and getting out on the recruiting trail.

he said nothing like it. >> steve: really? >> ron: oh, he has a lot of stories to tell. >> steve: i was going to say between your dad and lefty, you could tell stories for a month, all night long 24/7. i bet you heard some good ones, too. >> ron: man, if the walls could talk. >> steve: timeout with 8:26 to play in regulation. dana smith having a good game. there's chuck driesell. or is that mark wahlberg? i'm not sure. >> ron: look at chuck right there. tonight. guys like milbourne and sean mosley having an excellent outing here tonight. >> ron: the thing about sean is, he's one of those guys that you have to describe the route where to find him. he can do the long ball, flash and get to the basket. going to get on the board and going to give you solid defense. at the end of the ball game he

is really tired because he doesn't take possessions off. he gives you every ounce of energy r. energy that he has in that -- energy that he has in that 6' 4, 210 pound frame. >> steve: played at st. francis academy in baltimore two years ago named player of the year by the baltimore sun. >> ron: he is the epitome of hard work. his freshman year was just that. a freshman year. up and down. it wasn't consistent. didn't play as well as he wanted to. had a really good summer and came back big time. >> steve: milbourne throws down the rebound. inside. nice move by padgett. >> ron: got to love it. a game like this you are up 40 points, you would think your players would start to relax, start to down shift. and maryland is focused right now. as though they're down by 15. that is, if you're gary williams you have to be excited about that. >> steve: that's what he wants this team to do. he knows this is -- you hate to call ate tune-up game but he knows they're going to win.

he wants his team to play well because they have acc play starting saturday. >> ron: they ask why are they playing this game. they are talking schedule, as milbourne gets on the offensive boards is so tough you need a game to break things up and work on some things you want to get in for the acc. >> steve: 7:25 to go. the terps lead it by 40. to. anncr vo: ...call emergency services... anncr vo: ...collect accident information. anncr vo: or just watch some fun videos. anncr vo: or just watch some fun videos. anncr vo: or just watch some fun videos. anncr vo: or just watch some fun videos.

>> steve: 40-point maryland lead and james padgett showing some pretty good moves here tonight. >> ron: a good pass is going to come in here to the post from landon milbourne. now a good defensive play right here by longwood, but padgett goes to his counter move. he sounds like he is

re is one of those assistants that gets this the gym early, stays late. works on the little things. played in the nba. if you are a college player, why wouldn't you listen to the things he has to say? >> steve: absolutely. landon milbourne with 19 points, four rebounds, and needed one in his career coming in. dana smith with a beautiful follow slam. >> ron: regardless of what the score is, dana has come to play. he has about 25 right now. >> steve: yeah. >> ron: and there is no let-up in his game. at all. he is coming at this guy in front as hard as he can to keep them in. >> steve: pretty play by greivis vasquez. we talked about the hardship waivers that he was granted after injuries in both the '0 sixes and '07 season. >> ron: dana smith? >> steve: yeah. he's already earned his b.s. degree in sociology got it in may of 2008. >> ron: hats off to that young man. >> steve: vasquez again, after greivis went 0-5 in that first

half. but it's not like they really missed him, because his teammates stepped up play. smith again this time he misses and padgett hauls it in. >> ron: padgett -- smith just needs someone else to come along with him in the scoring category. >> steve: nice pass inside, and a foul called. and it will send aaron mitch toll the line. meantime greivis vasquez had five points in 17 seconds in that last little flurry. played at mon montrose christian, playing with kevin durant. >> ron: steve vetter has put out a lot of quality ball players over the years. aaron bane played at villanova. ron thompson went to georgetown. >> steve: there you go. >> ron: a lot of quality ball players.

>> steve: if you do say so yourself. >> ron: i wouldn't resist. >> steve: very nice transition. so all of those starters come back out of the game. williams and tucker back in for the terrapins. as we approach the six minute mark here. 94-51, maryland. tucker in the paint. needs to get out of there. as mosley's trapped and now they find bowie. >> ron: after seeing sean mosley go down the earlier in the game, it's good to see him back out here. >> steve: cue the mosley basket. averaging 12 points and about 6 rebounds coming into tonight. he's got the 19 points here in this game. blocked inside but the follow tip is there.

hands on their feet, hoping the terps centering mark. mosley looks inside to gregory. tough fading jumper. tip-up not there. williams gets blocked from behind and the terps can reset. again, jordan williams crashing the offensive glass. mosley's held and a foul is called on aaron mitchell. jordan williams with 10 rebounds in the game the tonight. >> ron: maryland's right now in the double bonus. every foul now that longwood commits means it's going to be two free throws at the charity strike for maryland. >> steve: sean mosley 78% shooter.

and we'll get our first look at a sophomore from the netherlands, jan van der kooii for longwood. lancers will be at savannah state saturday, home to play washington at venice on january 30th. and mosley having a perfect night. he has made all eight of his field goals, all four of his free throws, and has 21 points. pass thrown away out of bounds. and david pearman will come into the game for maryland. gets a big round of applause from the fans. and ersin levent checks in as well a sophomore from rockville, maryland.

pearman a junior from columbia, maryland who walked on at maryland in '07 and was a scholarship last year despite playing in just two games. terps have six players in double figures in scoring. pearman's jumper. pearman was a great player at oakland mills in columbia. first team all county in 2007. bowie will set it up. >> ron: right now if you are adrian bowie, you know gregory -- >> steve: oh! >> ron: padgett -- >> steve: tremendous follow slam by gregory. >> ron: gary williams is still evaluating him. and that is an excellent effort right there by him crashing the boards. you can't relax right now because you're out on the floor with other walk-ons. stay focused, play hard and finish the game. >> steve: quite an emphatic way to get the 100th point of the night.

blocked inside by padgett. and traveling will be called on billy robinson. maryland has eight blocks in this game and dino gregory has a couple of spectacular finish slushes and the terps have reached 100.

>> steve: maryland has moved the ball around well. hit the glass and sean mosley having a perfect night. he's made all 8 of his field goals. 4-4 from the line. 21 points. sean mosley has been nothing short of impressive here tonight. >> ron: landon milbourne has also come to the party a little bit. he has been knocking down the 3. he is 7-9 right now from the field with 19 points and 4 rebounds. these i goes have got it done today. >> steve: mosley who finished his career as the second leading scorer in maryland state high school history, with 2933 points. the number one scorer was rodney monroe who is in hagerstown. and a pass that time by padgett

a little wild, and gary is trying to settle him down a tad. in case you're wondering, the largest win margin by maryland in the gary williams era came back in 1998 when they beat north texas by 75 points. 123-57. they're at 47 points right now. the largest win in comcast center history was 50 points when they beat hampton 108-58 back on january 8th of 2003. so maryland threatening to set a comcast center record for largest margin of victory. ian persaud.

and maryland battling, ersin levent gets the steal. and they can reset with adrian bowie. pearman. takes the jumper. a little bit short. knocked out of bounds by longwood. it will go back to maryland with a fresh shot clock. and aaron mitchell comes out of the game replaced by earl gee. gregory there to get a rebound. he has been really impressive, i think, ron. >> ron: i think he got the message that gary williams sent to him early on. he said you are getting minutes. now i start to the start seeing

some numbers and seeing some production. >> steve: 6 points, 7 rebounds and four blocks for dino gregory tonight. here's pearman, puts up the 3. misses short. shaking his head. david pearman, who had dreamed of playing at maryland since a kid. pearman again drives. scores the field goal and he will go to the line! [ cheers and applause ] . >> steve: and the fans go crazy. >> ron: pearman was certain that he would get a bucket in today's game. >> steve: oh, good slash there. good strong finish on the way. >> ron: tough fake, driving left with the little floater. >> steve: he now has six points this season. was a great football player in

columbia, maryland. [ cheers and applause ] . >> steve: he lettered in football as a senior. had 25 catches as a senior with 240 yards. at oakland mills high school in columbia. steven shockley in the game, gregly battles, it's out of -- gregory battles, it's out of bounds and will go to maryland. 52-point lead for gary williams' team. but more important than the margin of victory is the way his reserves have played, i think, tonight. >> ron: they have been focused. they didn't come in like it was mop-up time. they're running their sets, working guilt or innocence -- working defensively. it's not a question of running up the score. they're playing the game the way it's supposed to be played. they're playing hard. [ cheers and applause ] . >> steve: fans are urging ersin

levent, sophomore from rockville at the line. was captain of the landon high school team as a senior. [ cheers and applause ] . >> steve: and he now has 4 -- correction, 3 points in the season. his first basket of the game. free throw. makes 1 of 2. ersin also lettered three seasons for landon's golf team which won the interstate athletic conference title his senior year. our toyota play of the ame workedded worked hard tonight. 13 points 10 rebounds for jordan williams. levent drives, and a little short. 35 seconds to play. and drawing the foul, is billy

robinson who went to hammond high school in columbia, maryland. >> billy comes from good stock. his dad was a very, very good player from the area. went to dunbar high school and ended up going to northern illinois. his dad could put up points in a hurry. >> ron: played in the early '80s at northern illinois. >> steve: billy gets the free throw. >> ron: hid dad still looks like he is in good shape. like he could still play. >> steve: yeah. billy gets them both. so maryland, by 51. and the terrapins have secured their 12th win of the season to go 12-5 on the year. pearman dribbles the clock down. the terps do not have to take a

final shot, and a new record set here at the comcast center. the largest margin of victory ever in this building. surpassing the old mark of 50 against hampton in 2003. gary williams' team wins it tonight by 51. as they beat longwood 106-55. ron, a heck of a performance from not only greivis vasquez, but i think a collection of his teammates tonight. >> ron: i think everyone came to play tonight. i liked the tone and tempo of landon milbourne and jordan williams set early. i think the guys when they started to come in, the guys like the tuckers and adrian bowies and padgetts did an excellent job continuing on and keeping pace. coming into the game coach williams said he wanted to see what his reserves would do, he wanted to see if they're the kind of guys that can give him help getting further into acc play and they deliver thed.

>> steve: well, dana smith led longwood with a game high 25, but maryland put six players in double figures, led by sean mosley who was perfect tonight. 21 points, all eight of his field goals and all four of his free throws. the terrapins win it. they improve to 12-5 overall on the season. so a good night for maryland, as they get ready to play their next 13 games against acc schools beginning with nc state here saturday. thanks again to our

statistician, marty eranoff and the stage manager tracy roberts. 106-55 maryland. acc basketball will return thursday night when the hokies travel to charlottesville to take on the cavaliers. the virginia state rivalry can be season in high definition. check local listings to find a game in your afternoons. for ron thompson and our entire comcast sportsnet crew. steve buckhantz wishing you a good night from college park. tonight's game has been a presentation of comcast sportsnet and the acc. maryland wins it, 106-55.

>> the capitals have been nothing less than dominant lately, but the competition is about to pick up as they face last season's top two teams back-to-back, starting with the red wings. they're fired up in college park. the terps back in action looking to wrap up non- conference play hosting longwood. >> and after a premature exit from the playoffs, the ravens find themselves at a cross roads with major changes possibly on the way. good the tuesday evening, everyone. welcome into geico sportsnite. alongside greg tolin i'm kelli johnson. >> coming up a redskins plaster is arrested and the future of ed reed and derrick mason is

in doubt. start with the capitals and their show down against the red wings. >> varlamov not ready to go to theodore gets the nod in net. he was outstanding in the 1st. detroit out shot the caps 15-3. many shots at point blank range but theodore 'stopped all 15 chances keeping things scoreless after 1. detroit finally dented the board in the 2nd period. theodore make 2 saves but dan cleary able to knock the rebound past him, and the red wings jump out 1-0. theodore's counterpart chris osgood was hot as well. he stopped alexander semin cold on the 201 break away. still 1-zip. then the geed to bradley he beats osgood tieded at 1 after 2. still tieded. 11 minutes into the third period, detroit swarming in, the caps in, brian rafalski hard slapper, he scores 2-1 wings.

it didn't take long for the caps to answer. nicklas backstrom great individual effort. past odds good the game is tied at 2. 46 seconds ladder washington on the attack shot deflected. dave steckel cleans up the mess and behind 44 saves from jose theodore the caps win it 3-2. for more on the game let's go back to verizon center. lisa hillary is live. lisa, dave steckel scored the game winner but you can't say enough about the performance of jose theodore. >> reporter: no question. just an exciting game all around. yes, jose theodore certainly kept his team in it. but again the washington caps out shot, and they were definitely out played throughout much of this game. 15 minutes it took for the caps to register a shot on net. jose theodore was incredible as i said. he bailed out his team on a number of occasions. the capitals mustered up just three shots on net by the time that first period ended.

they looked out of sync for much of the game but when they finally woke up they were definitely rewarded for their effort. jose theodore vintage on this night. >> that's probably the best i've seen him. you know, i mean i'm watching him going this is mr. how he was when he won in montreal that year, because without him, i mean it could very well have been 6-0 at the end of the 1st period. >> i felt pretty good tonight. thank you. thanks. they got two scoring chances right off the bat and i made those two saves. i just knew that tonight was going to be a tough night to score. the guy defensively on the penalty kill did a great job and it was a huge win. >> reporter: the fans went nuts for j.t. tonight. a couple notes from this game. matt bradley rewarded with his eighth goal of the season. he hasn't scored since december 26. nice to see him get one tonight. a great pass from boyd gordon who i think since coming back

from back spasms has gotten increasingly better with every game. on another note, simeon varlamov was up in the press box tonight. showing no signs of a limp whatsoever. but i will say two things: this is the second straight day i was at practice this morning that varly didn't practice. nowhere to be seen. bruce boudreau said he is getting some off-ice workouts, getting in some exercise on the bike and whatnot. but a russian journalist told me upstairs tonight that verily told him that he suffered another -- varly told him he suffered another setback. whether in practice last week we're not sure but he definitely retweaked that knee so it doesn't look like simeon varlamov will be representing russia at the upcoming olympics. >> certainly something to watch. hopefully varly will be healthy soon. great win tonight. >> thanks, greg. talk to you later. tonight and after every caps game joe b breaks it down from his view in the play by play booth and he wants to know your thoughts. leave a comment at

csnwashington.com and enter the keyword blog. all right. college basketball, maryland hosting longwood. terps first meeting ever with the independent lancers. gary williams and the terps ready for that non-conference show-down. the last of the season at comcast center. early in the 1st jordan williams loose ball, splits the defenders and throws it down with authority. terps up 9 early. later in the half landon milbourne drives, pulls up for the jumper in the lane and gets the foul. a three point play. maryland running away with it up 18. more from milbourne. in transition. the senior pulls up, and hits. that's three. 14 in the first half from milbourne. maryland in front by 27 at the break. more terps in the second half. adrian bowie misses a jumper but dino gregory there for the strong follow in the lane. maryland extending its lead to 38. later in the half sean mosley with the strong drive. and the deuce. moseley led the way with 21

but i know those two guys love football and i've talked to both of those guys since. and i got the impression that they love football and that they want to play. so we'll see how that shakes out. >> mike shanahan has his first discipline tissue deal with as head coach of the redskins after chad rhinehart was arrested for public intoxication early monday morning. it happened outside a bar in his home state of iowa. rhinehart was trying to get into a pizza place that was closed when he triggered an alarm. he is due for arraignment in february. as promised, shanahan pulled the remaining coaches -- told the remaining coaches their fate. retaining danny smith, safeties coach steve jackson and kirk alvadati. not returning stan hickson. john polerm exposm scott rockenheim. jerry gray officially signed this afternoon to be seattle's secondary coach. for the latest around the league here is russ naylor with charlie.

>> i'm joined by former redskins general manager. charlie as we approach championship sunday in the nfl, give me your key to the nfc game. what is going down between the vikings and saints? >> i'm going to watch, last week minnesota had the edge with the crowd notice. new orleans has the edge with the crowd noise. how is that going to affect brett farve? greg williams will come with pressure. can farve read that defense? not panic and make the plays. >> the jets shut down phillip rivers in that offensive attack with san diego. do they have a chance to do it with the colts? >> to me a fascinating chess match. rex ryan. what does he try to do on defense seven tries to get a man free. does it better than anyone in the nfl. payton manning wants five guys out. does he keep the fifth guy in the block? lead the blitz? it will be a chess match all day. >> will rex ryan stay one ahead of norm turner last weekend. but norv is not only staying on in san diego, a three year

extension. does that surprise you? >> no. i talked to the chargers during the year and they said absolutely he would be extended at the end of the year. he had another year to go on his contract. they call ate three year extension, really three. he has three to go. >> what do you think about the herring of gayly in buffalo? >> i've always liked him as a football coach. he was the head coach of the cowboys. went to the playoffs two straight years and then got let go, because troy aikman didn't like him, ok? well, that's what i was told on the situation. anyway, he went to georgia tech. he won in a tough situation to win there. i think he is a great offensive football coach. a great job with kansas city last year as the coordinator. this is a good move. it's a predidn'table move in this sense. they weren't going to have mike shanahan or bill cowher or john grew deny coming there. it's a good fit. >> charlie, always appreciate it. coming up on geico sportsnite. ted leonsis is on the clock to become one of the most powerful

figures in d.c. sports. virginia is a perfect 3-0 in conference play but they almost slipped up against a struggling mid major. >> and when you think of college athletics, squash doesn't exactly come to mind. find out what george washington is doing to change that. we return after this. anncr vo: with the new geico glovebox app...

anncr vo: ...you can get help with a flat tire... anncr vo: ...find a nearby tow truck or gas station... anncr vo: ...call emergency services... anncr vo: ...collect accident information. anncr vo: or just watch some fun videos. anncr vo: it's so easy, a caveman can do it. caveman: unbelievable... caveman: where's my coat? it was suede with the fringe. vo: download the glovebox app free at geico.com.

>> welcome back. after the success of the washington capitals, one can only hope ted leonsis will buy the wizards and verizon center from the estate of the late abe pollin. the caps owner racing the clock against a wednesdayed the line to complete the deal that could put him as lead owner of the

biggest sports entire. if it's not reached they can grow to extend exclusive talks. things are looking up for the team. smiles and laughter at practice today. there is a new sense of optimism surrounding the whiz now the gilbert arenas-related distractions are behind them. the mavericks come to town tomorrow and the wizards have a chance to win their third game in a row. that hasn't happened since april, 2008. >> seems like last week at this time, seems like that was about eight months ago. all the guys, everything they have been through. i think now for the first time in a long time in the last month, they're able to just concentrate on basketball right now. >> winning cures a lot for sure. and two wins for us is big. but we're still on the outside looking this. there's a lot of games left. we have a lot of ground to make up but we are capable of doing it. >> this has definitely been a lot more enjoyable to work, especially whenever you win, you always come in the next day

excited, you know, to get work done. when you lose it's always tough coming into practice the next day but since we have been winning, we've been feeling really welcoming into work. >> tomorrow night the wizards try to solidify their first three game win streak of the season with the mavs in town. tipoff set for 7 on comcast sportsnet with pregame coverage beginning at 6:30 on geico sportsnite. well, the virginia cavaliers are the hottest team in the acc right now, winners of 6 straight with last night's defeat of unc wilmington to improve to 12-4. a surprising start under tony bennett after virginia was projected to finish at the bottom of the conference. instead at 3-0 they are the only one defeated team in acc play. in addition to a bounce scoring attack featuring three players averaging double figures, the cavs are winning with defense

down the stretch. here we go, jim larenaga george mason on the road visiting hofstra. the game by luke hancock. mike morrison misses but ryan pierson for the put back. patriots up 2. late first half hancock to morrison again. oh, he doesn't miss. mason led by 8 at the break. those are high-quality shots. second half, cam wong taking over first. drills a long three ball from the corner. and then watch off the curl. the nice drive and scoop for 2. that's how you do it. finally from the top of the key another three for good measure. pulling up and popping. long finished with a career high 27 on 9-11 shooting. mason improved to 7-1 in conference play. 12-7 overall. they win 90-72. to the acc, 17th ranked clemson visiting number 19 georgia tech, first half the alley oop to stud freshman take

favors. that's what the jackets do best. they run by 7. favors not done yet. it was so nice the first time tech tries it again. favors led the jackets with 17. they were up by 6 at the break. but the tigers roar back in the second half. trevor booker throws one down himself. tigers went on a late 8-0 run to tie it up. 5 seconds to go, still tied. jackets with the last possession, and booker fouls zach peacock. peacock makes both free throws. and tech goes on to win the final 66-64. other college news at the advice of his doctor, yukon's jim calhoun is taking a medical leave of absence to address some temporary medical issues, none of which involve any previous conditions, according to his physician. at 67, calhoun is a three-time cancer survivor, many who is expected to give more information in the coming days, but a school spokesman says it's neither heart for cancer- related and he will not need to be hospitalized.

the associate head coach will lead the huskies until further notice. let's take one more look at the terps. it was domination from beginning to end. early in the 1st. jordan williams splits the defenders and throws it down. terps led by 27 at the break. and it would get worse for the lancers. late in the second half dino gregory cleans up the mess with a strong follow slam. maryland wins by 51, the largest margin of victory in comcast center history. here is ron thompson with the head coach gary williams. >> thanks, guys. coach, it seems like today, even though you got up early, you guyed had focus throughout the entire 40 minutes. >> ron, this time of year you can't get into any bad habits because you don't have time to get out of them. the experimenting is over. you have to play as a unit. i thought we did a good job given the situation tonight of doing that. with 13 league games coming up, you have to get through tonight with the idea that we could

gain from playing these guys, because we could try some different combinations and things like that. but we had to keep our identity as a team the way we play. >> speaking of the new combinations, coming into the game you wanted to kind of see some production from some other guys. what was your overall feeling as to how those guys did to help you into the acc play? >> sean mosley has been consistent all year but was shooting really well tonight. that is a big thing for us to give us another scorer. landon milbourne and greivis have been giving us a lot of scoring along with eric hayes, but sean was the fourth guy tonight. inside we were trying to get james padgett a lot more minutes and he did a pretty good job on the glass a couple really good moves. i thought dino gregory loosened up a little bit. he has been playing a little tight. i think missing the first eight games does that to somebody. i thought he was a little looser out there tonight and had a couple great follow-ups. >> coach, you guys could very easily in conference play be 3- 0 but you are 2-1 right now. played very well in the game

you lost in overtime against wake. you have to be feeling really confident coming into your next acc game. >> we know we can play in tough games. and that's the key. every game is going to be tough. i don't think we are going to walk away from anybody. but if we can compete, then we'll be ok. and i think we've established that in our minds. now somebody can take that out of us if they really do a good job. but right now i think we're a team that feels that they can go play. >> thanks a lot, coach for your time. back to the studio. >> all right. thanks, guys. still to come we all know scholarships are hard to come by. if your grades are lacking and you're not the next basketball or football star, what you:may want to try your hand at is squash. we'll tell you where. >> i knew i should have done there. plus the future of hockey is taking center stage. the finest in the ahl, including hershey bears in their all star game. >> if you want to see the wizards take on the heat next week go to csnwashington.com, enter keyword wizard to register for your chance.

>> welcome back, ahl all star game from port land, maine. four hershey bears made the planet usa and team canada quad. planet usa a lead in the 1st. in the second keith mcroy adds his list to goal scorers to pass it in off the defender's skate. team canada trailed in the third but they chip away with 18 seconds left in regulation, alexander giroux tying it up. 9-9 and head to a shoot-out. giroux shoots first for team canada but he can't make the

puck get past the goalie. awe coin will get his chance in the fourth round and scores with the wrister. p.k.subin caps off the canada comeback. watch this. he hits the breaks and scores with the back hand. that does it. team canada wins it the final 10-9. >> well, when you think of college athletics, squash is probably one of the last to come to mind. the squash program at george washington is changing that. the university awarded the colonial scholarship money, making them the only program in the country to offer scholarships to their squash student athletes. in this inside access, jill sorenson explains why the colonials are so unique. >> reporter: the g.w. men's squash team is ranked in the top 20 nationally. that in itself is prestigious. but even more note worthy is that the colonials are the only

d1 squash program that offers scholarship money. >> opposite hand opposite leg. >> reporter: men's coach windy lawrence arrived in -- wendy lawrence arrived in 2007 and immediately asked why squash was the only sport at g.w. that didn't receive scholarship money? >> the response was, we assume all squash players have money. which is sort of the myth, i think about squash players, ha they come from prep schools or private clubs and where everybody's wearing all white clothing and there are no minorities. that hasn't been the case for 20 years now. >> reporter: a year and a half later the men's and women's squash teams were awarded $10,000 in scholarship money each. $20,000 next year, and $40,000 the year after that. >> we were completely surprisedded. they didn't give us any warning. they just announced it to us in a meeting, a coach's meeting one time. and that it required us to learn all these rules about scholarships and how to award them, and who's eligible, and

all these ncaa rules. >> i think part of the reason it was such big news is because it not only did the first squash scholarship, but for us it helps bring attention to squash. college squash has been around for a long time but not too many people know about it. >> word got out that g.w. in fact had money and i started getting e-mails from all over the kind and over the world from players who had heard we got the scholarship money, and they were eager to try to take advantage of it. >> reporter: one student athlete who took advantage of it right away was freshman omar sobi. >> at first i didn't really know that i was like special in getting this first scholarship at all. i didn't even know until the first time some reporter from the washington post actually came here to do an article about it. i was like wow. i really, i made history here. i didn't even know that. >> omar just having him on the team he is a strong player, great force and drives us all to play harder. >> reporter: jill sorensen, comcast sportsnet. >> thank you, jill.

different structures. and the smell is really -- really strong. and just in certain situations you see dead bodies and you see trucks and looking around and seeing man the trucks are to pick up the trash. it gives people a sense of hope but you realize the trucks aren't for trash. they're for bodies and they're picking up bodies that have been there for four or five days. just frozen in death. >> i can't even image wayne the survivors are going through. >> cush a dire situation. the amazing thing is they are still finding survivors a week later. it's absolutely amazing, the help that is needed, and the people that have come forward. but so much more needs to happen for the haitians to really recover. >> very nice for the redskins to help out. again, morton entire interview with ken harvey from haiti coming up. that does it for us. >> for greg, i'm kelli. see you at 11.
