CHAPEL HILL -- Few people know North Carolina senior forward Tyler Zeller as well as his parents, and so they knew well enough to leave him alone before he played his final game at the Smith Center on Wednesday night. It was senior night, and Zeller didn’t want to be bothered much with ceremony and recognition.
After UNC’s 88-64 victory against Maryland, though, Zeller finally had a chance to relax. He left the game with about seven minutes to play amid a loud ovation, and with the crowd chanting his name. He had scored 30 points, a career-high for an ACC game, and he walked down the Heels’ bench, high-fiving teammates.
“It’s a great way to be able to finish,” Zeller said of his final home game. “It’s something that I’m very proud of. But I think my team did a great job of giving me the ball in places I could score and I just tried to make the most of it.”
Barnes sparks Tar Heels to 83-74 win over Maryland

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Before his team’s 83-74 victory against Maryland on Saturday, North Carolina sophomore forward Harrison Barnes wasn’t sure if he’d be able to play three minutes or 30 minutes, and he wasn’t sure of how good he could be regardless of how much he played.
All he knew, he said later, is that he wouldn’t let the sprained left ankle he’d suffered earlier in the week keep him on the bench. As it turned out, Barnes didn’t stop playing even after he sprained it again.
N.C. State pulls away from Maryland for 79-74 win

RALEIGH – Once again, N.C. State won a game with a collection of players fulfilling their roles, not having just one star individual who carried the rest.
That was the formula N.C. State used in a closer-than-it-looked 79-74 win over Maryland on Sunday night.
And executing this type of game plan set in by first-year coach Mark Gottfried will most likely determined whether the Wolfpack reach their ultimate goal: the NCAA Tournament.
In the ACC opener for both teams, the Wolfpack showed more maturity in the second half. They limited their turnovers. They helped each other on the defensive end. And when it was time to pull away and win the game, the Wolfpack did just that.
Terps too much for Duke in NCAA LAX semifinal

BALTIMORE -- Duke’s men’s lacrosse players could barely move a yard without feeling a nudge, push or knock from their Maryland opponents on Saturday evening.
The unseeded Terrapins chased down the No. 5 seed Blue Devils, thwacking arms with sticks and checking with impunity. When junior midfielder Justin Turri slipped inside late in the game, his shifty moves were met with a ferocious blow that forced him to the ground. He never got off a shot.
That hard-hitting, aggressive style led to a 9-4 Maryland victory over the defending national champions at M&T Bank Stadium in the NCAA Division I men’s lacrosse semifinal game.
Tudor's Take: Williams made a difference for ACC
Submitted by caultontudor on 05/05/2011 - 18:53Maryland basketball was a wreck when Gary Williams left Ohio State to take the job at his alma mater in 1989.
Bob Wade, in one season, had gone 9-20 overall and 1-13 in the ACC.
Cole Field House, once a hoops hothouse during Lefty Driesell’s salad days, looked like an arena in a constant fire drill state. Fans stayed away in droves and the few that came frequently left during the first television time-out of the second half.
