Now this is more like it. Maryland finally is playing like the team we all saw in New York City in November.

The Terps' win over North Carolina on Sunday night was the kind of effort at both ends of the court that Maryland has the potential to produce. Now the Terps have won five in a row, including knocking off Duke and winning at NC State and Clemson. This past week started with an 18-point win over Florida State.

The Terps' athleticism, their ability to play different speeds, and the fact that they finally are playing with purpose and pride make them a dangerous team heading into March.

Maryland is a classic case of a team that is playing well at the right time. The Terps appeared to be in danger of sliding out of the Dance a month ago, but they have the talent to make it to the Elite Eight.

Like I said we just that hot right now.
