Expectations U-MD.?
If Maryland’s first day for seniors Terra Pins, she had visions of deep NCAA tournament is underway, perhaps even gain a national championship, as their predecessors. Now, tonight, as they prepare the final regular-season home game, a less ambitious goal, has emerged.
“I do not want two nights in chief,” said Travis Garrison.

“They had just national athletics,” he said. “It was the goal instilled in me. It seemed obviously think that was what we were capable of doing.
Garrison, a former McDonald’s All-American DeMatha “high”, also had high expectations, he thought he would play the Final Four. But in the final stages of its leaders years, it has a role player, often criticized as too passive and inconsistent. Garrison said yesterday it has some regrets, even if it has peculiarities.
“All the pressure for me to come and demonstration and not do and how people came to me, you learn to situations such as,” he said. “Well, if I have a bad game, I do not for me because of the way people think what they like or have to say. When I was a freshman, I was like, ‘ Oh, man, I have other people down. ” ”
Ledbetter spent the summer before his first season in Maryland is recovering from a serious car accident. Ledbetter deployed splitterte his hip and a bone in his ankle, having slept on a wheel route on Interstate 70 and received in a car accident.
If Joined Ledbetter, Maryland, thought it would be deeper in the tournament underway. Now he is on the edge of the end of his career without an aspect of the NCAA tournament.
“Know, Maryland history and what they did, I think everyone could have come from thinking we” deeply eve of the tournament, “he said.” But that’s life sometimes it does not, as you want. Individual, which I have always a positive attitude. There is still a chance for this year.
