It's another Late Night With The Terps for those back home watching on ESPN. Game time is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. tomorrow against Stanford. Insane.
Maryland and Stanford both went through the obligatory media appearances today.
A couple nuggets of information.
* Stanford star Candice Wiggins has played USA Basketball competitions with three Terrapins: Crystal Langhorne, Marissa Coleman and Laura Harper.
* Stanford coach Tara Vanderveer was still steamed about Wiggins getting tossed into the basket standard against Pittsburgh last night. "I was really disappointed with the call against Candice having watched it," she said. "When I saw it the second time, I thought it really put her at risk to get hurt and that was something that had me really upset. … I think hard fouls are part of the game, but a play should be made on the ball."
* Stanford guard Rosalyn Gold-Onwude was recruited by Maryland and the Terrapins and Cardinal were her final two schools. "It was a really intense recruiting effort," Terps coach Brenda Frese said. "She had visited our campus numerous times with her mother and we did a home visit with her. She's a special player whose had a tremendous career for Stanford."
* Don't be surprised if the game is high-scoring. Maryland averages 81.9 points per game, Stanford 75.0 points.
* Finally, the men's Final Four is set. I ended up selecting six of the Elite Eight, missing on only Memphis (had it losing to Pittsburgh in the Sweet 16) and Davidson (had it losing well, last week at some point). I picked three of the Final Four teams: UCLA, North Carolina and Kansas. I had Texas beating Pittsburgh.
