2nd Half 20:00 - Starting lineup beginning the second half for the Terps.
HALFTIME VT 40 MD 29 - Rough first half for the Terps. Virginia Tech's zone defense has been lights-out. Jordan Williams has been invisible on the offensive end. He has 2 points and 6 rebounds.
3:46 VT 33 MD 21 - Maryland simply cannot find a consistent inside presence. The Hokies are shutting them down in the paint, forcing turnovers and kickout passes for long looks.

15:53 VT 12 MD 0 - Still no points for the Terps. They can't seem to find looks inside and the guards haven't pulled the trigger on open three-point chances. Turnovers, sluggish transition defense.
17:57 VT 10 MD 0 - Gary Williams forced to call timeout as Virginia Tech has scored on all four of its possessions. Maryland unable to get good looks or get it down to Williams in the paint.
Sean Mosley gets the start tonight at guard for the Terps in place of freshman Terrell Stoglin.
