Agreed that it'll mean very little in the end. College basketball doesn't change much over one game. However UNC won't be a number 1 seed in my opinion. They aren't that good. They have in conference games now and they have had very close ACC games. They beat GT by only 1 3 days ago and went to overtime against clemson earlier this month. However both of those games were on the road. Which makes this win even more impressive because UNC has been lights out at home. An unranked team has only beat the number 1 team 28 times. Moreover before today, the number 1 team has lost to a visiting opponent only 6 times. So the win isn't just another college upset. And Maryland is turning things around winning 6 of their last 7 and losing by only one in their loss. I'm not saying that they are even in the discussion for the ncaa tourney but they are turning things around. They would need to get to go 7-5 or 8-4 to have a shot at the Tourney. Maryland would have to get really lucky being that this is the ACC. But we'll never give up.

This was the 7th time an unranked team beat a ranked team on the road. The last time it was done was also by UMD and [I BELIEVE] it was also against UNC. So here is a big F U to UNC. And for old times sake lets look back at last year's terps beating Number 5 UNC.

Also to keep spirits up. Lets hope Maryland can pull out another miracle against a top 5 team when we play Duke. Duke is 4-2 at maryland over the past 6 years and 2 OF THE TERP WINS WERE WHEN DUKE WAS NUMBER 1. F... Duke. They don't have to be our rivals; i'd rather they be our bitch anyways. Now I am not saying the terps even have a shot but all i am saying is I'll be there with the rest of terps nation and we will be screaming our hearts out hoping for another win like the 2 last year.
