It's probably not a good thing that the headline possibilities for last night's Maryland-Virginia Tech game centered around an early 1990s TV show aired on Saturday mornings.

"Saved by the smell"?

"Gack attack"?

OK, excuse the immaturity, but the most memorable part of Virginia Tech's 69-65 victory at Comcast Center was Dorenzo Hudson's unfortunate reversal. And as much as I'd love to be in possession of all the meaty details, the reality is no one broke it down as well as the Washington Post's/D.C. Sports Bog's Dan Steinberg.

He didn't make a reference to Screech Powers or Lisa Turtle, but gets high marks for not joining the Chicken Littles on the message boards and other places for automatically assuming this dooms Maryland to the NIT.

More on that later. However, an editor didn't get back to me on a question I just called with, so it's time to deploy the time-honored five-minute rule. This next hour of work is hereby canceled.

Mr. Belding would not be pleased.
